The 25-year-old will join the ITV soap as Abi Peterson, an ex-army girl who will become involved with Ryan Lamb (James Sutton).
"Abi is ex-military and very ambitious. She certainly knows what she wants from life," she told the Manchester Evening News.
“She becomes a love interest for Ryan Lamb, played by the lovely James Sutton, who has been so welcoming."
She added: "I’ve been really enjoying working on such a great show as Emmerdale."
Tyldesley revealed that her friend had suggested a party to celebrate her first scenes which are due to air later this month.
She said: "My best friend said we should have an Emmerdale party to celebrate, and all get dressed up as cows and sheep to watch my first episode!
"But I'm not sure I’ll take him up on that."
