PC Edmondson was part of the police team who investigated when Hope Stape ran away from home in January 2020. Without anyone realising who she really was, her half-sister Jade Rowan, the daughter of the late John Stape, had come into her life and had been carrying out an insidious campaign to wrest custody of Hope from her mother Fiz. Her motives and actions had come to light, but by that stage the child herself had become obsessed with her new grown-up friend and she ran away in the middle of the night to be with Jade. PC Edmondson accompanied by PC Windsor visited Jade’s home to try and find the girl as they had found a phone supplied by her to Hope with numerous messages promising to take her away. Jade was genuinely astonished to hear the news of the disappearance but blamed Fiz, being firmly told by Windsor that Fiz had been cleared of any allegations of physical abuse of Hope, allegations that Jade had manufactured. He searched the downstairs while PC Edmondson searched upstairs where Jade was frantic that she would look in the loft where she had secreted clothes, passports and one-way tickets to France but the officer failed to locate the stash. Jade later discovered the girl in North Cross Cemetery near the grave of her father and returned her home.
In October of the same year, PC Edmondson was dispatched to Speed Daal and spoke with Alya Nazir following a complaint of harassment lodged against her by Geoff Metcalfe. In an attempt to gather evidence against Geoff and prove that he was frittering away her grandmother Yasmeen's money on another woman, Alya followed him to Viaduct Bistro where she encountered him with dining companion Doris Braithwaite, a fail lady who Geoff met through his DJ work at Weatherfield General and had completed odd jobs for around her house. The officer told Alya that Geoff's additional claim of her being verbally abusive had been supported by Doris, however the matter would not be taken any further and Alya was advised to keep her distance from Geoff in future.
In May 2021, she was one of several officers tasked with finding a missing Sam Blakeman who had been kidnapped by Robbie, a member of Harvey Gaskell's drugs gang. Harvey was intent on tracking down Leanne Battersby and Simon Barlow who had gone into hiding with Nick Tilsley under a witness protection programme after tip-offs and evidence from Leanne led to Harvey being arrested and remanded in Highfield Prison awaiting trial. Harvey's aunty Sharon Bentley was roped in to assist and when other avenues failed, it was decided to snatch the boy to bring Nick out of hiding. Sam's love of astronomy was used to entice him into the back of a van driven by Robbie which contained a supposedly unwanted telescope, and the boy was then locked in, driven away and kept overnight in the van. When Sharon reported back to her nephew that Nick had just urgently returned after hearing about his sudden disappearance, Sam was released and PC Edmondson called at 8 Coronation Street to report to Nick and Natasha Blakeman that the boy was safe and had been taken to Weatherfield General as a precaution.
In March 2022, she and her colleague PC Merton were called to the flat of Lydia Chambers when she reported Adam Barlow for forcing his way in, threatening her and trashing the flat. In reality, she was an old girlfriend of Adam's from his days at Edinburgh University where he regarded her as just another in a long line of conquests, whereas she had fallen passionately in love with him and was devastated when he dumped her after she had fallen pregnant. Meeting him again years later, she was enraged when he claimed not to remember her and began a campaign of strip him of his marriage, his business and his reputation. Having already caused a breach between him and wife Sarah Barlow, Adam had called at the flat to try and reason with her but she had herself caused the damage and rang the police. PC Edmondson took a statement from Lydia while PC Merton arrested him.
