Rebecca Sayers | 7:25pm Mon 27 Oct

Emmerdale aired the arrival of Lisa Diveney, who plays DS Carter tonight (October 27). She plays a detective asking Kev some questions about an attack.

However, she also seemed to have quite a past with Ray. And it appeared she was still keeping tabs on him. When he spotted her, he quickly discarded of his backpack. And she then quizzed Ray on why his website was just a copy and paste – and seemed very false. But the villain promised her he had turned his life around and was now legit.

Could she be about to discover the truth? Well, as Lisa Diveney made her debut, let’s have a look at where we might have seen her before.

Lisa Diveney’s life away from acting

Away from acting Lisa announced she had gotten married last year, sharing a series of adorable snaps on her social media.

She posted at the time: “Got hitched! Thank you for the stunning photos!”

Lisa keeps her life rather private, but her Instagram does feature quite a lot of photographs of her now-husband.

However she is yet to post or comment on her new Emmerdale role.

Who is DS Carter in Emmerdale?

It was very obvious straight away that DS Carter has quite the history with Ray. And it has us wondering if she could be the one to realise what is going on.

However, Ray wasn’t the person who brought her to the village. She was actually there to question Kev about the attack on his old school friend. But just Ray’s luck, she spotted him and decided to have a chat.

Having asked Ray about his business, he promised her he had gone legit. But she didn’t seem to fully believe him, pointing out that his website even seems to be a copy and paste situation.

However, she had no proof that there was anything dodgy going on with Ray at the minute and the conversation came to an end. But what she didn’t realise was that she had just prevented him from getting his backpack of cash.

Given that she knows about Ray’s history, something tells us this isn’t the last we have seen of DS Carter in Emmerdale.

Has Lisa been in any other shows?

Away from joining Emmerdale as DS Carter, Lisa is a widely known actress. But she is probably best known for her role in Call the Midwife.

In 2013, Lisa played the role of Julia Materson in the hugely popular show. But that’s not the only thing she may be recognised for.

Between 2005 to 2007, Lisa also starred as Beth in the Only Fools and Horses spin-off The Green Grass.

Other popular roles include The Story of Tracy Beaker in 2006 as Lucy, Casualty in 2014, Grantchester in 2016, Harlots in 2017. Then earlier this year, she also featured in the ITV drama, Grace.
