Victoria Sugden has hinted at a permanent exit from Emmerdale, telling her brother Robert that she does not think she will ever return to the village.
The character, played by Isabel Hodgins, appeared via video call in the latest episode, where she said: "I'm happy here. I won't lie to you Robert, I don't think I'll ever feel like coming back."
Victoria's Exit After 32 Years
Victoria left the village "for good" earlier this year after killing her brother John Sugden. Since then, Isabel Hodgins has shared her thoughts on returning to the role, while she is currently on maternity leave.
The actress previously revealed she wanted to go back at some point but had not decided when exactly. Now, a permanent exit has been teased in the village.
