Emily Symons – Emmerdale – Age 51

Emily Symons made a name for herself in both the United Kingdom and her native Australia for starring in a string of soap operas. After playing Louis Appleton on Emmerdale and Anne Costello on Richmond Hill, she returned to the Land Down Under and reprised her role in Home and Away.

And it looks like she has no regrets about coming home. Life’s been good to Symons, who became a first-time mother in 2015, and her “miracle” son Henry. She delivered the boy after years of trying and surviving a difficult pregnancy.
