Perdita "Perdy" Hyde-Sinclair (also Hyde) is a fictional character from the British soap opera Emmerdale, played by Georgia Slowe. She made her first on screen appearance on 1 March 2006. Casting In March 2006, Inside Soap announced Slowe and Christopher Villiers had joined the cast of Emmerdale on a regular basis, playing Perdita and Grayson Sinclair. The characters move into Oakwell Hall, after previously appearing in the run up to Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) and Alasdair Sinclair's (Ray Coulthard) wedding.
