Victoria "Vic" Anne Barton (also Sugden) is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera, Emmerdale, played since 12 October 2006 by Isabel Hodgins. The character as a young child was played by Jessica Heywood for two years since the characters birth, then Hannah Midgley from 1996 until July 2006. Victoria is currently the longest serving female character on the show and has featured in storylines such as surviving an explosion which she causes leading to her being put in and psychiatric care and being bullied at school, marrying Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) and knocking over Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) with a car causing him to suffer from epilepsy.
Victoria is born on 31 March 1994 to Jack Sugden (Clive Hornby) and Sarah Connolly (Alyson Spiro). When she is only days old, her crying brings her grandmother, Annie (Sheila Mercier), out of the coma she has been in after being injured in the plane crash. In May, Jack and Sarah marry. Weeks later, Victoria stops breathing, due to a hole in her heart and needs an operation but makes a full recovery.
Andy Hopwood (Kelvin Fletcher) visits the farm with other children from a care home and becomes friendly with Victoria's brother, Robert (Christopher Smith) and the Sugdens eventually adopt him. The Sugdens struggle financially so Richie Carter (Glenn Lamont) becomes their new lodger. Sarah and Richie begin an affair and she left Jack for him, moving into Pear Tree Cottage together. Jack and Sarah battle for custody of the children and Sarah wins custody of Victoria. Sarah later dies in a barn fire started by Andy for insurance reasons. Jack is in the frame for arson and murder but is cleared.
