Following the news which broke earlier this year that Emmerdale<\/a> producer Kate Brooks would be moving to work<\/a> on Coronation Street<\/a>, a new producer for Emmerdale has now been announced.<\/p>\n

Sophie Roper has been appointed to the role with immediate effect, and will work alongside fellow producer Laura Shaw. She will take creative responsibility for Emmerdale\u2019s storytelling, casting and production, and has been undertaking the role since April.<\/p>\n

Iain MacLeod<\/a>, who was promoted to Executive Producer for Continuing Drama at ITV earlier this year, with oversight across both Coronation Street and Emmerdale, said in a statement: \u201cSophie is a real talent and has a natural eye for a big, bold story so she is the perfect person to maintain Emmerdale\u2019s tradition of challenging, exciting narratives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled that she has made the well-deserved step up into her new role and with her as a more senior part of the very talented team in Leeds, viewers will be in for an engrossing, exhilarating and emotional ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
