Emma LeBrun

Emma Lebrun is a main character on Times of Passion.

Born on-screen in 1995, Emma is the second child of Jean and Helen LeBrun. A calm and friendly child, Emma grew up in the shadow of her popular and successful older brother Paul, leading to some sibling rivalry; especially when Paul started dating Emma's best friend, Charlotte Wilder.

The rivalry intensified when Paul was diagnosed with a degenerative nerve disease, leading to him losing his legs. While sympathetic in regards to his illness, Emma felt excluded and neglected in her family and developed an eating disorder.

It was Paul who eventually discovered this and he coached her through her illness, bringing the siblings closer together.

When Paul died in a bus accident in 2009, Emma was struck with feelings of guilt. With her parents absorbed by grief, old feelings of exclusion resurfaced in Emma and she relapsed into her eating disorder and developed self-destructive and even suicidal tendencies. She was rescued by Freddie Banks, who eventually became her boyfriend. They broke up after two years, when Freddie left her for Gabriella Marino.

Devastated, Emma had sex with Aaron Martins, who was dating Charlotte at the time, and became pregnant. Emma tried to keep the pregnancy a secret at first, but Aaron eventually confessed his betrayal to Charlotte and the lie was revealed.

Emma decided to keep her pregnancy hidden from her parents and made a pact with her aunt, Sylvia Wingfield, to raise the baby as hers. Sylvia, who was unable to have children of her own, agreed and helped fake medical documents in order to make her the child's official mother. Emma was sent to a summer school for the final months of her pregnancy and the plan worked.

Soon after the birth, Emma changed her mind and asked Sylvia for her child back; her aunt however disagreed and kept the baby for herself.

In 2017, Emma began a relationship with Amy Hymer.
