Emmerdale Writes Louise Jameson’s Real-Life Injury Into Mary Goskirk Scenes

The ITV soap adjusted scripts to reflect the actor’s summer leg injury under its standard advance filming schedule.

Overview

  • Monday’s episode shows Mary using a cane in the Woolpack, joking to Tracy that she hurt herself “bungee jumping.”
  • Writers integrated the change after Louise Jameson disclosed in July that she had a leg injury, shared a photo in a splint, and postponed live theatre dates on X.
  • The on-screen tweak aligns with common soap practice, with episodes typically filmed six to eight weeks before broadcast.
  • Mary has recently been depicted with multiple minor injuries, including a bandaged hand and a wrist issue following a fall.
  • Viewers have noted the repeated knocks and some have speculated online about a deeper storyline, though no such plot has been announced.
