Wylde kids cast in 'Emmerdale'

Three new additions to the Wylde family are to arrive in Emmerdale next month.

Mark (Maxwell Caulfied) and Natasha's (Amanda Donohoe) children Nathan, Maisie and Will appear in time for their father's birthday party.

Nathan, who is the eldest sibling in his mid-20s, is to be played by Lyndon Ogbourne, while Alice Coulthard takes on the role of Maisie. Will, the youngest member of the family, is to be portrayed by Oscar Lloyd.

Speaking of his casting, Ogbourne said: "I am really excited to be playing the role of Nathan Wylde. He is a bit of a rogue and I'm looking forward to bringing out his darker side. He's definitely not as nice as he seems."

Coulthard, meanwhile, commented: "I'm thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale. Maisie is a really fun character and she's not afraid to say and do the things that most people would never dare to. She'll be giving her parents a really hard time."

Ogbourne has previously appeared in Spooks, Doctors and Robin Hood among other shows, while Coulthard's acting credits include The Bill and Holby City.

Will arrives in the Dales on Monday, February 16, while Nathan and Maisie turn up the following day.
