Emmerdale fan favourite Bernice Blackstock (played by Samantha Giles) has been a regular character on the ITV soap for over 20 years. Giles’ character has had her fair share of dramatic storylines through the years but, as she appears more and more on-screen in 2019, Emmerdale viewers have been left wondering how old Bernice is. Here’s all you need to know about Bernice and the actress who plays her.
Bernice is currently played by 47-year-old actress Samantha Giles, although her character is a few years older.
Emmerdale viewers first saw Rodney Blackstock’s (Patrick Mower) daughter on-screen over 20 years ago.
Giles took a break from the character between 2001 and 2012, with the exception of a brief return in 2004.
Since returning to the ITV soap, however, she’s remained a regular fixture.
Away from Emmerdale, Giles enjoyed stints on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks and BBC daytime drama Doctors.
