Emmerdale fans were left in floods of tears at the end of last night’s episode when beloved character Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) died after being trapped when a caravan blew over.
As it became clear that she wouldn’t survive her injuries, first her brother Aaron (Danny Miller) spent some tender moments with her and then she was joined by her husband Vinny (Bradley Johnson).
Vinny talked to Liv about future plans, how they would travel and sit on a beach together. ‘I’m not coming out of this, Vinny,’ Liv tearfully told him, adding that he’d be okay because he’s stronger than he knows.
‘It’s you that makes me strong,’ he told her. Liv said she didn’t want to leave him and Vinny promised, ‘Wherever you go next, we’ll be together again, I promise.’ His wife’s final words to him were, ‘I never knew anyone could make me so happy.’
And yes, we are crying. It was an unbelievably sad and poignant ending for a couple whose lives together had only just started.
Isobel Steele revealed in a video posted on the official Emmerdale Twitter account that she’d also shed tears over the scenes. ‘I hope it made you cry. I definitely cried when I read it,’ she says.
‘It’s been a pleasure. It’s been the best seven years of my life and yeah, it’s been all worth it because of you. So thank you so much,’ she says.
Isobel is then interrupted by Bradley Johnson. ‘Security are asking for your pass back!’ he says. ‘You’re prolonging your exit a little bit here. Just get your pass, hand it in and just kind of go.’ The video ends with Isobel apparently hurrying away to do just that – leaving us smiling as we wipe away the tears.
Meanwhile over on Isobel’s Instagram she posts a picture of herself with the cast and crew alongside the upturned caravan that resulted in Liv’s demise.
‘That’s a wrap on Liv Dingle,’ she says.
‘Hard to put into words what this show and the people in it mean to me and how big a decision it was to leave.
‘Thank you to every single person I ever worked with and to those that pushed me to be a better person and a better actor. Thank you to everyone who watches the show and has supported me throughout, none of it went unnoticed. Thank you to Kate Oates, Ian MacLeod & Jane Hudson.’
Co-stars Olivia Bromley (Dawn), Michelle Hardwick (Vanessa), Rosie Bentham (Gabby) and Mark Charnock (Marlon) are among the Emmerdale stars who’ve added heartfelt comments to the post.
