In a seemingly peaceful village like Emmerdale, few people would think that the “final boss” would appear in the form of a middle-aged woman wearing a muddy coat, speaking softly and knocking on the door to ask for… land to rent for farming.

Celia Daniels was initially introduced as a tough farmer, a bit annoying but still within acceptable limits.

However, right from the moment Paddy was bitten by Celia’s dog and hospitalized, the audience began to see something wrong with this woman, the “normal on the outside, something dark on the inside” vibe.

As time went on, the hard-working farmer shell was revealed to be a deliberate disguise.

Gradually, Emmerdale showed that Celia was not only a difficult person, but also the leader of a modern slavery ring. On a remote farm, young girl Anya, Bear Wolf and other victims are locked up, forced to work like animals, unable to contact anyone, have no freedom, not even the right to be sick. Anya is seriously ill, Ray Walters – Celia’s son – promised to bring medicine but in the end broke his promise, leaving her to die in filth and despair. In Celia’s eyes, Anya is just a number, an asset that can be discarded if damaged.

The scary thing is that Celia doesn’t need to scream or swing a knife to look like a villain. She does everything with a chilling calmness. When threatening someone, Celia rarely loses control, her eyes always light up with a “I’ve calculated everything” look. Viewers soon understand that this is a quiet but extremely dangerous villain: she owns land, has money, has henchmen, has a cover-up system, and most importantly, doesn’t consider people as human. She just needs to pick up the phone, and a person can disappear.
