Emily Somerton

Personality:   Emily Somerton (1988: Florence Hall, Present Day: Natalie Walter) is a villainess from the TV series Jonathan Creek, appearing in the episode The Judas Tree. The episode begins in 1988, with Emily and her flatmate Kim lost while driving. Emily sees a nearby house across a field, but when she turns around again the house has vanished. She begins to cross the field to investigate, but is grabbed on the ankle by an old man crawling in the grass. Emily beats him off with her pink high heeled shoe and runs away. In the present day, Emily begins working as a housekeeper for crime novelist Hugo Dore and his wife Harriet. Emily contacts paranormal investigator Joey Ross about strange events at the house, including a ghostly apparition in the woodshed and threatening letters sent to Harriet in Emily's handwriting. Joey and her investigative partner Jonathan Creek agree to take on the case. Later in the garden, the local priest and another housekeeper, Mrs Gantry, are talking to Hugo. They look up at the window to hear a lot of commotion and see Harriet thrown out of the window and impaled on spikes below. Hugo runs to his wife and carries her bleeding body to a chair in the garden. Harriet identifies Emily as her killer, showing part of her dress that she managed to grab. Harriet then dies in Hugo's arms. After Emily is arrested, Jonathan solves the 1988 mystery, he deduces that the house Emily saw was actually a standing film set which blew over in the wind when she turned away. He suggests that the man in the field was actually the site watchman, reaching out to Emily in an attempt to free himself from beneath the set. After some further investigating, Jonathan attends Emily’s trial and theorises that Hugo framed Emily for Harriet's death, but is unable to convince the jury, who find Emily guilty. Still determined to solve the case, Jonathan and Joey return to the house and follow Hugo to a Judas Tree in the grounds, where they are surprised to find Harriet still alive. It turns out that she and Hugo faked her death, and framed Emily as a means of revenge.
