Faye Clarke, played by Helena Calvert, made her first screen appearance in August 1996. Shortly after her introduction, Faye was described as being a "Glamorous blonde" and a "brazen hussy" by Tony Purnell of the Daily Mirror. Another reporter for the paper called Faye "glamorous" and said that she was a "mini-skirted character". They added that Faye had become a favourite with male fans. Describing her first scenes, Purnell said Faye made her entrance in a flash sports car and then "showed off her bare midriff and prompted Terry from the Woolpack to describe her as the perfect woman." On 18 August 1996, it was announced that Calvert had chosen to leave Emmerdale. A Yorkshire TV spokesperson said "Millions of hearts will be broken, but her leaving won't mean things simmer down." Faye leaves her lover Steve Marchant (Paul Opacic) to go to the city.

A hedge-school for themselves and learn by heart
All that the clergy banish from the mind,”
