Emily Fitch is a fictional character in the television series Skins, played by Kathryn Prescott.
At the beginning of series 3, Emily is a closeted lesbian, but she eventually comes out to her friends, family and Naomi Campbell, the girl she is in love with.
In her most difficult times, she finds a source of support in her friendship with JJ Jones, after running into him at a clinic where she was receiving a course of counselling and learning about his Asperger syndrome.
It is to him that she first confides about her homosexuality, in turn encouraging him to take control of Freddie and Cook's feud, and it is to her that he finally loses his virginity.
Prescott accidentally let slip that the couple "die happy" in relation to not being able to act as Emily in the following series.
[2] Ed Hime praised Prescott for having "beautiful eyes that just take everything in" and stated that she was great at "giving Naomi longing looks".
Prescott commented that she "thought Naomi was a bitch" for cheating, pointing out costar Loveless would agree as well, but had let slip that the couple end up happy.
Unknown to her, Katie actually sees Naomi and Emily kissing for the second time in the bouncy castle and appears to be shaken.
Emily leaves a note in Naomi's bed saying that she slept there, where the latter cries herself to sleep following the humiliation of Cook's presidential campaign.
In return, Emily encourages him to take control of Cook and Freddie's feud and make peace with Effy.
Matters are made worse when Katie takes Emily's phone away, thus effectively cutting off the two from communicating with each other.
Her centric episode focuses on the couple's happiness, but Emily becomes suspicious when the police turns up and interviews them both on Sophia's suicide.
Behind Naomi's back, Emily visits Sophia's family, taking a wooden box and a university prospectus with a key inside.
Still a bit doubtful, Emily tells her about the key she found and Naomi believes it is for Sophia's locker at the army base.
Later, Emily, unable to understand why their mother can't accept her homosexuality and her relationship with Naomi, decides to move out leaving Katie heartbroken.
The episode ends with Emily walking through the front door, seemingly following her father's advice.
Then Emily turns increasingly angry and hedonistic, kissing a girl in front of everyone then pushing Naomi into the pool.
Revealing her secret about Sophia, Naomi watches as Emily bursts into tears and lashes out at her mother, earning a slap from Katie.
She does not physically appear in part one although she is heard having an argument with Naomi, now living in London with Effy Stonem over Skype, and it is made clear that she is in New York City on a lucrative internship.
Bracing herself, Emily enters Naomi's room and climbs into bed with her, embracing her and sobbing into her shoulder.
Naomi gives Effy a smile over her shoulder, happy that she can die peacefully with her beloved Emily by her side.
