Who Was Rebecca White? A Brief Overview
Rebecca White, portrayed by Emily Head from The Inbetweeners, made her entrance to the village of Emmerdale via helicopter in 2016, a year following a devastating helicopter accident that claimed multiple lives.
She was the child of Lawrence White, who lived on Home Farm, and the half-sibling of Chrissie White.
She was also the aunt of the infamous serial killer Lachlan White, and there were several times when she nearly became one of his victims.
After Lachlan was involved in a car crash that claimed the lives of Chrissie and Lawrence, Rebecca suffered a severe brain injury, which led to difficulties with her memory.
Eventually, Lachlan kidnapped her and held her captive in a secluded cabin in the forest. Despite multiple attempts, he found himself unable to bring himself to end her life.
Instead, he handed her over to a dishonest nurse, who eventually figured out Lachlan's true nature and allowed her to leave.
After the traumatic experience, she developed a strong bond with Ross, who had recently survived an acid attack.
