is a
Fictional Character on the
ITV Soap Opera ''
Emmerdale ''. She is played by
Linda Thorson .
Rosemary first appeared on
Emmerdale in early
2006 . She is the mother of
Alasdair and
Grayson Sinclair , and her family is very wealthy. The last member of the Sinclair family to be introduced, she disapproved of Alasdair's fiancée
Sadie King . On the morning of the wedding, Rosemary tried to bribe Sadie into leaving her son alone, but Sadie refused to back down.
Alasdair and Sadie were married, but within moments Sadie's ex-lover
Matthew King took Sadie away. Rosemary tried to have Sadie and Alasdair's marriage annulled to stop Sadie from getting a divorce settlement. However, Sadie tricked Rosemary into thinking that she and Alasdair had since consumated their marriage.
Rosemary made a deal with Sadie: in exchange for the Sinclair business with the most sentimental value to Rosemary, Sadie would have her marriage annulled. Rosemary finally got her own back on Sadie: as soon as the business was signed over, Rosemary revealed that it was now worthless. She also told Sadie that the meal she had been served prior to the signings had been Sadie's horse Cossack (this was a lie, but Sadie believed it).
Linda Thorson has signed a contract to become a regular character due to Rosemary's popularity with the viewers.
