Emmerdale star Gabrielle Dowling and her real-life twin brother Sebastian Dowling have portrayed Cathy and Heath Hope on the ITV soap for their entire lives.
The non-identical twins first appeared on our screens in 2007 at only a few weeks old and incredibly they have played the roles of Bob and Viv Hope's children ever since. Cathy Hope has been at the centre of much of the soaps drama during her time in the Dales.
One of her biggest storylines to date has been within the past year when she turned out to be the perpetrator in Amelia Spencer's (Daisy Campbell) online bullying storyline. However, the pair have since made amends and put their differences aside and recently Cathy has been a great support to her friend Amelia, who has been having a tough time of late after discovering she was pregnant.
