THIS former Emmerdale actress isn’t a teenager anymore and has continued to spread her wings since leaving The Dales.
Since joining the cast at the age of 16, Grace Cassidy starred in over 200 episodes of the popular soap.
Between 2009 and 2012, she played the role of Hannah Barton, the youngest child of John and Moira.
During her time on Emmerdale, Grace was involved in a number of juicy storylines.
She was unlucky in love as her relationships with characters Andy Sugden, Alex Moss and Isaac Nuttall failed.
The character’s problems didn’t stop there, as Hannah was bullied by her classmate Kayleigh Gibbs as she struggled to fit in.
When Grace decided to leave the soap in 2012, her onscreen alter-ego’s storyline ended as she moved to London.
Speaking about her decision to quit the ITV drama, Grace said: “Working on Emmerdale has been one of the best periods of my life.
“After three years I have made so many friends here and I am going to miss them so much.
“However, I felt the time was right to move on as I still have so much to learn.
“I can’t thank Stuart and the team enough for making me feel so welcome. I will never forget the opportunity I was given.”
Since leaving the cast of Emmerdale, Grace has appeared in a varied collection of shows and films.
In 2012, she appeared in Casualty episode The Blame Game as the character Jodie Ross.
She also took on the role of Simone Murray in television crime drama Father Brown in 2015.
Then in 2016, she appeared in romance movie The Lonely Italian.
Since her soap glory days, Grace has ditched the natural brunette locks of her Emmerdale alter-ego Hannah and experimented with an array of golden blonde shades.
However, her latest pics shows that she’s brunette once again, having gone back to her roots.
In recent years Grace has focused her attention on film-making and regularly keeps her 13k Twitter followers updates on her work.
