Character
Profile......Emily Shadwick
Emily Shadwick arrived on
Brookside Close in 1998, with her Parents Greg  and Margi, sister Nikki and brother Jason. Emily
is the youngest member of the family and still goes to the
Brookside Comprehensive school. Her best friend on the close
is Kelly Musgrove despite the fact that Kelly’s older
brother Luke has been accused of the drug rape of Emily’s
sister Nikki.
Although Emily doesn’t have a
regular boyfriend she does have an admirer on the close, Leo
Johnson. Emily and Kelly once went to a party held by Leo
and his mate Tinhead , but the evening was spoilt when
Tinhead tried to get Kelly drunk.
Emily is good at sports,
particularly running and is encouraged by both Greg and
Margi to do well at school events. Mr Abbot her school
athletics instructor constantly tries to get Emily to use
all her spare time training and although she does her best,
Mr Abbot never praises her efforts.
 After a recent school athletics event Margi
caught Mr Abbot shouting at Emily and reported him to the
school headmaster.
Emily also enjoys working on the
school play being organised by Jimmy Corkhill who also
suspected she was being bullied by Mr Abbot. During
rehearsals for the play Jimmy intervened when Mr Abbot tried
to speak to Emily, unfortunately this ended in a scuffle,
during which Mr Abbot was pushed to the ground.
Actress Profile -
Jennifer Ellison
Jennifer enjoys acting
particularly theatre work, before joining the Brookside cast
she wanted to appear in productions such as The West End or
Chicago as she loves the feeling an audience can give her.
Working on Brookside means she
is easily recognised while out on the town, but this doesn't
bother Jennifer she actually likes to meet the fans.
Her first morning on Brookside
proved to be rather embarrassing as she got lost and ended
up walking in on a scene they were filming. However she now
gets on well with the cast including the Shadwicks who she
refers to as her Tellytubby family.
Her interests are very much the
same as Emily’s she is keen to keep fit and eat healthily.
So is very into sports especially athletics. While at school
she took part in the athletics team and became the captain
for a while. Jennifer's other hobbies include dancing as she
attends five ballet classes a week, including modern
dancing, tap, jazz and limbering sessions. In the past she
was also keen on fishing occasionally.
She has a pet cat called Timmy
who is ten years old, black and white and was rescued from
an animal rescue centre in Southport.
And if Emily had a fortune to
spend she would like to invest the money in a farm for her
mum with lots of horses.
