The minor character was the first ever character to be murdered on the ITV soap.
Discussing her previous role, Louise said: “She was a very sweet and innocent young girl. We can’t bring her back because she's dead, so I've come back as someone completely other!”
The acting star, who previously appeared in EastEnders and Doctor Who, has spoken about the differences between the Emmerdale we see today and Emmerdale Farm.
"There was a great generosity and spirit then, but this is an extraordinary machine. I feel like I have jumped on a very fast moving carousel.
"For the first 10 days I felt like I was slightly catching my breath because there's three machines moving at any one time.
"There's a group of 60 actors including everyone behind the camera, and a big machine that keeps everything working. The welcome was extraordinary, it was really lovely. I have felt welcomed into a family."
Discussing her new role, Louise has told viewers Mary and daughter Rhona have a strained relationship.
So, we’ll have to wait and see how things play out between the pair.
