Emily Wilkinson is the estranged wife of Joel Deering and the mother of his daughter, Maeve.
Emily split with Joel when he cheated on her with another woman while she was carrying their child. He began a relationship with Dee-Dee Bailey in late 2023 but kept the fact that he was married with a child secret. Emily visited Joel at the Viaduct Bistro in February 2024, interrupting a meeting between him and a client, to discuss a matter urgently. Toyah Battersby clocked the exchange as Joel steered Emily away, and when Dee-Dee's friend Alya Nazir mentioned that she saw Joel with another woman, Toyah recalled what she witnessed and showed Alya the CCTV footage which confirmed that both instances were with the same woman. When Alya reported back to Dee-Dee, she confronted Joel who confessed Emily's true identity leading to Dee-Dee calling time on their relationship due to being unable to trust him.
- The character also appeared in Episode 11195 (19th February 2024) on CCTV footage lifted directly from a bistro scene in Episode 11182 (9th February 2024) and therefore, not counted twice.
