Emily Sullivan is a character on the US post-apocalyptic drama Jericho. She is played by Ashley Scott.
In the pilot episode, it is revealed that Emily is an old friend of the pivotal character Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich), but by the time Jake returns to the town, a falling out has happened between them, hinting at a previous and deeper relationship. It is ultimately revealed in episode nine that Jake and Emily were once engaged. Later episodes reveal this falling out to be due to the death of Emily's brother Chris during what appears to have been a botched robbery attempt. Jake was supposed to be Chris' lookout, but for reasons unknown refused.
Emily is estranged from her father, Jonah Prowse. This estrangement is also due to Chris' death. Jonah ordered Chris, Jake, and Mitch Cafferty to carry out the robbery. Emily regards her father as nothing but a thief, and wants no kind of relationship with him.
She later becomes the last main character to become aware of the events at Denver, Colorado when she is picked up by two escaped convicts posing as Sheriff's deputies. Jake eventually rescues Emily from the two prisoners, and they take shelter in a friend's storm cellar as a rainstorm apparently laden with radioactive fallout hits the town.
Emily has a fiancé, Roger, who she was planning to pick up at the airport in Wichita, Kansas at the time the attack happened. While it is revealed in the third episode that his plane landed safely in a field north of Kansas, and that he may have survived, his fate is currently uncertain.
Like Heather Lisinski, Emily is a schoolteacher in Jericho. She lives in "The Pines," in a house being paid for in part by her fiance, who is in banking.
