William "Will" Wylde is the younger son of Mark and Natasha Wylde.[1]

Will arrives in Emmerdale in February 2009, a month after his parents have bought Home Farm. He leaves his boarding school, where he had few friends, and within hours of arriving makes friends with Belle Dingle after meeting her in the grounds. They soon become good friends. He soon starts at a nearby private school and is bullied when he and his family appear in Horse and Hound magazine. After his parents worry about the influence Belle is having on Will, they ban him from going to a "Emmerdale Explorers" sleepover. The following morning he goes missing. The police investigate, but Will is later found by Jimmy King hiding behind a bush in the estate grounds.

In late August 2009, Will is kicked by a horse and is rushed to hospital where he makes a full recovery. In January 2010, Natasha tells Will that Mark was married to Faye Lamb and that her son Ryan is his half-brother. Will is traumatized but still believes his father will come back. Will attempts to bond with Ryan but his older brother Nathan forbids him from doing so.

In June 2010, Cain Dingle, Belle's half-brother, tries to blackmail the Wyldes and when Natasha refuses to pay him, Will goes missing. Natasha believes that Cain has abducted Will but they later find him in the cafe. Cain had picked Will and Belle up from school and bought them ice creams.

In July 2010, Will is devastated when his father's body is discovered on the estate grounds. Will is questioned by the police about when he last saw his father and a DNA sample is taken from him as well as the other family members. When Nathan is later arrested Will believes he is Mark's killer and tells him that he hates him but Nathan later convinces him of his innocence. Will is shocked when Ryan is arrested and charged with the murder. During Ryan's trial, Natasha sends Will to stay at a family friend's house.

In October 2010, Will finds out that Natasha is Mark's killer after Cain drives him and Natasha to a barn where he had taken Nathan hostage. Natasha had told Will to stay outside and to stop Maisie from torturing Nathan to get him to tell her the truth, Natasha confessed but Will enters the barn and overhears her. She tells Will that she loves him, but Will responds that he does not want her to love him, he wants his father back. After Natasha is arrested he continues to live with Maisie and Nathan at Home Farm until November, when he and Maisie find out that Nathan had framed Ryan. Will is disgusted with Nathan's lies and leaves with Maisie and goes to stay at Holdgate Farm with Maisie's former boyfriend Nikhil Sharma, rejecting Nathan. Maisie and Ryan later order Nathan to stay away from her and Will. Nikhil and Maisie grow close much to Will's discomfort. Nikhil attempts to befriend Will and buys him gifts but Will rejects them. Nikhil later gives Will a letter from Natasha but Will loses his temper and tears it up saying that he never wants to hear from his mother again. Nathan later tries to call Will on his mobile phone and he breaks it in order to stop him. Nikhil then proposes to Maisie and she later accepts, wanting to give Will some stability but Will is angry and loses his temper with Belle when she tries to comfort him. He later speaks to Ryan and suggests that they be a family together and tells him that Maisie would want that but Ryan refuses, due to him and Maisie nearly sleeping together before they discovered that they were siblings.

On 11 January Will sits in the front seat of the Home Farm landrover and when Maisie goes to speak to him he reminisces about their father and asks Maisie why Natasha killed him. Later that evening, Maisie and Nikhil hold their engagement party at Home Farm and Nikhil tries to encourage him but Will loses his temper and shouts at Nikhil and bursts into tears.

After Maisie tells Nikhil that she does not love him and breaks off their engagement, she decides that she and Will should leave Emmerdale and decide to go and stay with their Aunt in Dartford. Will goes to say goodbye to Belle and gives her a games console as a farewell present. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and he leaves. As they prepare to depart, Ryan comes to say goodbye and tells Will to call him whenever he wants. As Will and Maisie leave in their taxi, Belle runs up and shouts to Will that she loves him and he shouts back that he feels the same way about her.

Priya Sharma, played by Effie Woods for her first stint in 2009-2010 and then by Fiona Wade on her return in 2011[4], made her first on-screen appearance on 14 September 2009 and is the sister of Jai and Nikhil Sharma.

Upon arriving in Emmerdale, Priya gets drunk with Eli Dingle in The Woolpack. She then ends up dancing on top of Ashley Thomas's car.[5] She is a bit of a handful and a party girl and does not like taking responsibility.

Priya quits her job in late December after her brothers make her acting supervisor at the factory and she did not like the way it affected her friendships with the other employees, in particular a resentful Eli. Priya returns to work in January, but only as a general worker and not a supervisor, although she does not last much longer at the factory.

Priya hands in her notice to her stunned siblings later in the year, admitting she is tired of the country life and being bossed about by her brothers, and she needs to be independent. She leaves the village in a taxi that evening as Jai and Nikhil wave her off.

Priya returns to the village with her parents to meet Jai's fiancee, Charity Dingle, in November 2011. She announces she is moving back in with Jai and Nikhil and later flirts with Cain Dingle in The Woolpack, who takes an interest in her return, although maybe for reasons more to do with his jealousy of Jai and Charity.

She was found and befriended by Belle Dingle and Will Wylde. She later became friends with Sam who tended to her injured leg and offered her shelter and protection as she explained she wanted to work to send money back to her young son in the Ukraine. When Zak and Lisa eventually discovered her, she was welcomed into the Dingle homestead and Sam got her a job working at the B&B for Eric Pollard. Recently, however, she seems to have become uncomfortable at Sam's romantic advances. When Wishing Well Cottage was destroyed, she moved in with Marlon, Eli and Lizzie. In early April, Sam proposed to Olena, which she said no to, because she is doesn't have a passport. Later, Sam goes to Cain and asks him to help him get a fake passport for Olena. Zak soon learns about it and tells Olena to leave Sam alone and that when she gets her fake passport he wants her to leave the village. She and Eli soon realise that they have feelings for each other and share a kiss. Sam invites Olena to the Dingles' party celebrating Lisa's release from prison, which she accepts, but doesn't want to. Zak goes round to Tall Trees Cottage and tells her to stay away. When Olena doesn't come, Sam goes to look for her, and spots her and Eli kissing. Sam is heartbroken. Later, the UK Border Control arrive after getting an anonymous tip-off that Terry and Eric are employing people illegally. Terry doesn't know how they are employing people illegally but says Olena is polish, which he believes. Olena admits to Terry that she is Ukrainian, not Polish and doesn't have any papers. Olena is taken away by the Border Control and Sam later confesses to having reported her.
