What other TV shows and movies has Sian Reese-Williams been in?
The reason Sian is so recognisable is down to her long run on hit soap Emmerdale where she played the character of Gennie Walker for four years.
Gennie made her debut in the village when she was on her way back to meet biological dad Shadrach Dingle for the first time.
She was married to Nikhil Sharma (Rik Makarem) and the couple shared a daughter, Molly Sharma (Maia Rose Smith).
Unfortunately, Gennie was killed off on July 25 2013 when she was suffocated by Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) after a car crash.
After her Emmerdale exit, roles included Hidden, The Light in the Hall, Line of Duty and Holby City. She also had a role in Vera.
