Then in April, Martelle Edinborough joined the cast as Suzy Merton, a love interest for Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick). Karene Peter then debuted in June as Naomi Walters, the daughter of Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin). Then, in December, Lewis Cope joined as Nicky. He was followed by William Ash, who joined as Caleb Miligan, the half-brother of Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter). Additionally, multiple other characters appeared in 2022. Marcus Dean Marcus Dean, played by Darcy Grey, made his first appearance on 3 February 2022. He was introduced as the son of established former character Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather), who is in prison due to murdering Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough). Justin Harp of Digital Spy wrote that Marcus arrives in the fictional village with his own traumatic experiences from living with Pierce, who abused his mother. Harp wrote that Marcus shares numerous traits with Pierce, such as his brooding, suaveness and good looks. He also questioned whether Marcus would share Pierce's violent attributes. Grey later said that Marcus believes he is not like Pierce, but as his storylines evolve, he shares more similarities to Pierce. Producer Kate Brooks said that Marcus' arrival will "ruffle a few feathers and flutter a few hearts in the village" and confirmed that viewers would soon realise that he is more than the son of Pierce. However, Brooks hinted that some villagers may not be as accepting of Marcus due to him potentially being "forever doomed to live in the shadow of his father's heinous crimes". Rhona Goskirk (Zoë Henry), who was raped by Pierce, is worried by Marcus' arrival in the village. Inside Soap wrote that her life "is to be turned upside down" by his arrival and that the story would see her happiness with partner Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) threatened.Grey said that when his agent sent him the character, he was "quietly smiling inside". He described the moment he was cast in the role as "one of those pinch-yourself moments actors simply dream of", especially since he felt he could connect to Marcus and shared attributes with him. Prior to his casting, he was working as a dog food salesman, and whilst in the audition process for the role, he watched the original storyline between Pierce and Rhona to get an idea for his character's father. Grey described Marcus as an outcast and an open book with an uncertain future, hinting that his initial storylines see him want to be loved and escape the reputation of his father. He added that he was excited for viewers of the soap to meet Marcus and watch his journey. Executive producer Jane Hudson also revealed that Marcus would become romantically involved with an established character and to watch his scenes to see a "new romance blossom". Dan Seddon, also of Digital Spy, wrote that he would "flirt his way around Emmerdale village". The romantic connection is later revealed to be with Ethan Anderson (Emile John), who stops Marcus from leaving the village after feeling unwanted. Their relationship "takes a step in the right direction" when they eventually decide to move in together.For his portrayal of Marcus, Grey was nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Newcomer at the 2022 ceremony. In February 2023, it was announced that Grey had quit Emmerdale. His "low-key exit" aired later that month after the character cheats on Ethan with his ex. Mary Goskirk Mary Goskirk, played by Louise Jameson, made her first appearance on 7 March 2022. She was introduced as the mother of established character of Rhona (Zoë Henry), whom she has a "strained relationship" with. Mary was described by Digital Spy's Hannah Bird as a "no nonsense" character and noted that Rhona feels as though she can never live up to her expectations. However, due to Marcus Dean's (Darcy Grey) arrival in the village causing upset for Rhona due to his connection to her rapist, Bird felt that Mary's arrival in the village could be "the prime opportunity for them to build bridges and heal their relationship". Her arrival initially unsettles Rhona as she feels there is a hidden agenda and treats her with suspicion, while other villagers "welcome her with open arms, finding her wit endearing". Bird hinted that despite her likeability in the village, it would not be long before she had arguments with villagers.On joining Emmerdale, Jameson said: "It feels like such a gift to be welcomed into the Emmerdale cast. Playing Zoe's on-screen mum is the icing on the cake." Producer Laura Shaw was thrilled to welcome Jameson into the cast, noting that her experience in the industry would be "a fabulous asset to the show". On the character, Shaw added that she is intelligent, witty and complex and that for Rhona, "there won't ever be a dull moment whilst her domineering mother is around". Metro's Sabrina Barr wrote that Mary has a bold persona as she's "quick-witted and headstrong". Barr also confirmed Rhona's suspicions about Mary by revealing that Mary does have a hidden reason for her move to the village. She also noted Jameson's former experience on the soap, having played Sharon Crossthwaite in 1973, a cousin of Annie Sugden (Sheila Mercier).Soon into her arrival, she strikes up a friendship with Kim Tate (Claire King) and their pairing has been well-received by critics and viewers. Mary's vulnerable side was explored when she confides in Kim about being a lesbian. Jameson was shocked that writers had made Mary a late life lesbian, but was happy to be part of the representation. Later storylines have seen Mary begin dating Faye Helders (Jane Gurnett), who cons Mary and releases revenge porn of her. She initially struggles with the events, but is inspired when April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) wants to become a journalist like her. Viewers were initially wary of Mary's intentions upon her arrival, but quickly into her tenure, she was dubbed a fan favourite whose wit and nerve was found entertaining.
