Dan Wootton has tweeted that Sophie Powles (Holly Barton) is leaving Emmerdale

Cheers for the info, Arty.

Holly's return was probably planned as short-term, then.

Wonder if she will be killed off?

Oooh, just when it was all starting to work out for her.

I am really surprised. Unless her return was always intended to be short

Really grown to love Holly second time around and Sophie has massively improved as an actress. The revisited drug storyline and her scenes with Moira have been sensational and gripping to watch

The Sun are stating that she has already filmed her final scenes but her exit storyline is being kept under wraps.

Hip hip Hurrah

I hope she dies horribly
Awful character.

Well, I'm quite sad about that. I didn't like her to begin with, but she won me round with some powerful scenes.

Shame.

The article that Dan has written about regarding he departure has a major error

In the headline, he calls her Sophie Fletcher. In the rest of the article, he calls her Sophie Powles.

Drug overdose?

Dan Wotton is a terrible "journalist "

So many characters need to die before Holly, plus she had really turned herself around.

I have to wonder was she fired or did she quit.

According to The Sun she quit.

Good stuff! The actress is abysmal.

She was never going to be permanent.

Aww why so such a short return? she really improved I liked her.

Really? And what does she think she is going to do now? The girl can't act to save her life she was lucky to be on Emmerdale.

I'm sad about this, I hope it's a good exit and not a heading off to London.

I hope not. Gosh, that would be depressing.

Wish it was James Barton that was going instead.

I'm quite surprised. I think she'll be hard pushed to find work after leaving, I think she's quite a limited actress, and would've been better off staying.

I can see Holly dying to be honest. Emmerdale is due for another big death.

The last thing any of the soaps need is another big death...but you are probably right they will kill Holly off and it will lead to a Coira reconciliation.

Brilliant news!

Haven't minded her so much this stint. Bit of a shame she's going so quick, IMHO.

I have thought this since she came back with the "Cain has to make a heartbreaking choice" thing at the end of the year or near the end of the year, they made no secret that Cain and Charity were going to get back together at some point, then Cain would have to make some kind of choice, I always thought it had to do with Holly dying of a drugs overdose, instead of the idea that some had that Cain had to choose between Charity and Moira after something happens, I think it will be a choice between Holly and Charity.

I do think it will lead to Cain and Moira re-uniting too as Jeff and Emma have both hinted in interviews that Cain and Charity wont last long term and that Cain belongs with Moira
