Speaking to Inside Soap, Lisa said she was inspired by a recent trip over to Ireland.
Lisa, who first started playing Mandy Dingle back in the 1990s, said: “They love Emmerdale over there, I’ve never had such a big reaction. I have lots of family in Ireland and this was the first time I’d been since the pandemic.
“I’d love to film some episodes in Ireland. The show has done it before, Paddy and Marlon went on location to Belfast when Paddy’s dad Bear was introduced.
“The Dingles have relatives in Ireland. I’m sure Mandy has a cousin in Galway. Then there’s the drinking - Mandy would love that!”
