Linda Fowler (also Glover) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Emmerdale, played by Tonicha Jeronimo from 1994 to 1997.
"[1] In an interview with Dave Jones, published in the North Wales Weekly News, Jeronimo described Linda in her early scenes as "quite a flighty, fun character".
[3] Jeronimo told a columnist from the Daily Mirror that she believed producers killed her character as a punishment for quitting Emmerdale.
She finds employment at the local veterinary practice as a receptionist, despite her father Ned's (Johnny Leeze) objections when he learns that Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell) is a lesbian.
Linda finds love with Biff Fowler (Stuart Wade) and they marry on the same day her brother Dave Glover (Ian Kelsey) is killed in a fire, while trying to save James Tate.
On 16 October 1997, Linda and other guests are invited to the engagement party of Kim Tate (Claire King) and her fiancé Steve Marchant (Paul Opacic).
Biff makes it clear that he would rather go to the Woolpackers event at the wine bar, and is horrified to learn how much Linda's dress cost.
Biff is jealous when Linda waves at Lord Alex Oakwell (Rupam Maxwell) as they had lunch that day, and he is still bitter towards Kim.
Alex sneaks back to Home Farm, where the party is still going on and claims that he left Linda in a layby and that she drove off at speed.
Biff is told that Linda has died from uncontrollable internal bleeding caused by a fractured pelvis and a ruptured spleen.
[1] In May 2020, ITV3 repeated the 1996 episode where Linda and Biff tell Betty Eagleton (Paula Tilbrook) and Seth Armstrong (Stan Richards) about their engagement.
