"I think the world has opened up. It's an exciting time," she adds of her plans to take on new challenges, with a period drama just one of many options on her wish list."In the past, I would have said period drama would have been out of the question for me, because of my ethnicity," says 43-year-old Fiona, whose mother came to the UK from the Philippines in the 1970s.
"Simon is a fantastic person to have by my side," she says. They met in 2017, when Simon had a part in an Emmerdale storyline, and they married two years later."I'm sure I drive him crazy, but he is so good at talking me through things," she says."I respect his opinion – on everything. He didn't falter once in supporting my decision to leave Emmerdale. If I was ever having a wobble, he was always there, reminding me that it was right for me.
