Emmerdale: Holly Barton
Absolutely no mention of her these days. I was wondering are ED going to tell us anything about how she died? Who she got the drugs off, why she went back on the drugs and what happened at that wedding she went to with Jai?
Maybe I missed a few episodes but it all just seems to have been forgotten about. Still hoping for a Lucy Beale-esque flashback episode but I don't think it's coming. |

It doesn't matter. Sometimes, people with addictions relapse. Making it a big whodunnit would ruin the death for me.

Yes, I agree with Gulfie. It was what it was. Sadly, sh*t happens - no logic and no mystery involved. It was all the more poignant and sad because of that for me.

She was an addict who relapsed and sadly it proved to be fatal. I don't think there is any more mystery to be mined from the story.

Holly was a vastly improved character IMO and I was sad to hear she'd be killed off, but I have to say that her death and the scenes in the aftermath were superb!

She was an addict that relapsed and sadly died from an overdose. It was tragedy. No need to revisit it or the wedding or where sh got the drugs, there is no mystery. |

The focus is on James' death right now because his is more recent and there's the storyline of Emma covering up her involvement.
Around the time of her death, there was a thread questioning why Holly would relapse if she was seen to be happy and many people on here said that she doesn't need to be sad to want drugs. Being an addict, she's going to want the drugs however she feels and no matter how well life was going for her. Sometimes people die and sadly, the loved ones are left wondering how it happened and why. Even for deaths that aren't related to drugs. Why did the car crash? Why did they have to get ill? Why did they have to die when they didn't deserve it? I'm sure many of us can relate to that. Also, if I remember correctly, Jai mentioned to Moira that there was a dealer at the wedding party and that he felt like he had to get out of there before he gave in to his addiction. The most likely possibility is that Holly was offered drugs too, and she didn't have the willpower to say no and refuse it. She had only been clean for a few weeks, I think and she wasn't going to counseling to help her fight the urges. |
