The actress is currently recovering from a heart transplant but is staying in touch with ED cast and crew and they hope she'll return to filming soon

It would be brilliant if she was able to return at some point.
It would be nice if Lisa or some other characters maybe at least mentioned Lizzie. Maybe show lisa speaking to her on the phone or something.

Can't to remember when she was last in it...it was abrupt I think? The actress was ill wasn't she? Something to do with her heart. Hope she is alright.

It was a kidney and her body rejected it. She's waiting for a suitable one.

Why 'blind Lizzie' OP? There is only one Lizzie currently in Emmerdale. Just 'Lizzie' would have done. Kitty McGeever can't help having gone blind.

It would be nice to see her back in the village again when she's well enough.

I agree with the poster who said Lisa should have a scene on the phone to her. If they are bringing her back at some point, they should give an explanation as to what happened with the character during absence. Lizzie will have missed quite a lot that's happened in the village..

Pointing out that she's blind isn't discriminatory.

It's no different to "Fat Pat" or something alike, it's not discriminative to acknowledge that she is blind. Stop looking for a fight.

I think the OP is ok to use the phrase they did, If they said 'Did Lizzie get an exit story' and people ask who she was (Some won't remember) the first thing anyone would say is 'She is the blind woman from the factory' So it's hardly being mean/cruel or anything

Why would it be nice to see her back, lets get real here, she (Lizzie) was brought in as a mate of Lisa Who wasn't very happy to see her turn up as I recall, she was tagged for theiving and never had any storyline whilst there other than getting a job in the factory. She has not been missed since she left and was never any kind of important character. Lisa has all but forgotten her and she's never been mentioned since her departure.

I hope the actress is getting better though after her transplant and makes a speedy recovery and goes on to have a healthy happy life. Its not her fault the character was a total waste of space who added nothing to any storyline.

That's right I'm looking for a big old brawl in the streets. Ha.

Good to hear she is recovering after such a huge operation.
Yes, it would be nice if there was just a mention of Lizzie on the odd occasion.
Good Luck Lizzie|!

Sadly she isn't actually recovering. As I said previously, she's still waiting for another kidney. Still in hospital.

Whilst i'm sorry to hear that the actress has been so unwell and wish all the best for a speedy recovery, I can't say I've missed the character or have any real desire to see her back. Although, whilst I never warmed to her, I didn't dislike her either, she was inoffensive and soaps do need these 'background' characters so there'd be no harm in her returning. Really I'm not that bothered one way or the other.

Thanks, Wyezed, I din't read your reply correctly, did I, and I apologise for that.
Looks like another wait and operation ahead, lets hope not too long before that can happens and that eventually she is able to return to Emmerdale.

They should of mentioned her absence though. Lisa should at least talk to her on the phone occasionally.
