Character Creation and Development
Gennie Walker was created by series producer Kathleen Beadles, although by the time her first episode aired on 1 April 2008, Anita Turner had taken over from Beadles. Theatre actress Sian Reese-Williams was cast in the role and started filming in the week beginning 3 March 2008. The character was described as "not your typical Dingle" and Turner said that "we’ve got some exciting storylines planned" with Gennie in "for a real culture shock when she meets her biological family".
In an interview in May 2008, Anita Turner said that "the character could be brilliant and it's about her finding that inner Dingle". Turner said that Gennie has "really hidden depths – it’s more about her future in Emmerdale, rather than her past".
