Rebecca White Share By Tamzin Meyer 30th October 2024 By Tamzin Meyer 30th October 2024 It has been reported that Emmerdale is set to kill Rebecca White off amid Ross Barton’s return storyline that is currently on screen. The Metro has reported that the ITV soap will kill off the iconic character in upcoming scenes. And, we have to say, we haven’t taken this news well at all! Bex exited the village with Ross (Credit: ITV/ Shutterstock) Emmerdale: Rebecca White to be killed off In 2016, an Emmerdale queen was born as Rebecca White entered the village in true style. Chrissie’s sister made quite the entrance, with her iconic floppy hat being forever imprinted on our minds. After Chrissie and father Lawrence’s tragic deaths (we’ll never forgive killer Lachlan for this!), Bex decided to leave the village with boyfriend Ross and her son Seb. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Our minds were at peace imagining Bex, Seb and Ross living as one little happy family in Liverpool ever since they all departed the soap in 2018. But, Bex’s fate was clearly never meant to be a happy one. She’s now about to be killed off as part of Ross’ return storyline. We should’ve sensed that something was up, as Ross came back alone to the village. But, part of us held out hope that Bex would soon follow him back into the Dales. The icon that was Rebecca White is no more though. And, if Ross’ bare knuckle boxing is anything to go by, he’s handling this all very badly. Bex represents a whole era of Emmerdale (Credit: ITV) Opinion: Bex White should never have been killed off It’s safe to say that Bex White’s death news came to us as a huge shock, with our jaws on the floor. If Bex’s return was never meant to be, a split from Ross would’ve sufficed. Her death is absolutely unnecessary. Why? Not only was Rebecca a huge personality in the Dales, she also represented a big era for Emmerdale. A time when the White family ruled Home Farm. Fortunately for us, Rebecca managed to escape Lachlan’s killer reign fairly unscathed, with she and Seb being one of the last remaining members of the White family other than the prisoner himself. Killing off one of the last surviving members of a once-powerful and extremely dominant family in the Dales hits us hard. Our nostalgic hearts can’t take the heartbreak, if we’re honest. The death of Rebecca’s sister Chrissie (another queen) broke us. So, Rebecca death years later only brings back those memories of that traumatic moment Lachlan killed his own mum and granddad is a car crash. Emmerdale’s moved on since these days, and we’re okay about that, we promise (we never want to see killer Lachlan back in the Dales ever again – the village deserves that much at least!) But, that doesn’t mean we’ll stop sobbing over Bex’s death anytime soon! And, if you see us wearing a floppy hat in winter as a tribute, no you didn’t.
