Valerie "Val" Holden arrived in the village with her two children Danny and Lauren, who are the illegitimate children of Leo Valentine. She turned up at the Valentine residence to demand that Leo looked after the two while she sorted out her housing problems.
She returned in January 2008 to live with the Valentines, causing a stir with the locals. She took Sasha out clubbing and was involved in a fight with Katy Fox, which they both spent a night in the cells for. She then clashed with the McQueens over bingo winnings and began planning Carmel McQueen's wedding to Calvin. However, Val kissed Calvin before the wedding and, racked with guilt, she left to live in Spain. Danny later leaves to find her.
When Lauren is hospitalised Val returns to take her daughter back to Spain. Lauren is delighted but Sasha acts very coldly towards Val. After Lauren dumps her boyfriend Gaz Bennett who is in prison, Val is delighted to hear that Lauren wants to leave with her after all when she argues with Leo about the situation. She later changes her mind and leaves with Leo taking Lauren and inviting Spencer Gray to accompany them.

“Forbede us thing, and that desiren we;
Preesse on us faste, and thanne wol we flee.
