Deena Payne was definitely not the only one upset about Viv and her Emmerdale exit – fans of the show were also distraught.

As she is currently appearing in Classic episodes every day on ITV3, so viewers are able to enjoy her storylines of the past. Although she isn’t pleasing everyone!

She and Bob are planning to tie the knot for a second time in 2006 episodes. They are having a joint wedding with Marlon and Donna – and Marlon has had enough. When Viv books his stag do for the day of his and Tricia’s wedding anniversary it is all too much. And Donna’s not even sure she wants to get married either!

So with Viv’s behaviour getting on everybody’s nerves on screen, you’d think off it people would be against her. Viewers seem to be divided, but overall they miss Viv!

Emmerdale fans who hate Viv

Some of the comments from social media are pretty harsh!

“Viv Windsor was such a vile old trout… sprouting her vile bile…her family wasn’t much better.”

“Unpopular Emmerdale opinion Viv Windsor was a terrible character. All she did was try to control her adult kids’ love lives and get all the gossip yet she herself had plenty of affairs herself. Horrible.”

Emmerdale fans who love her

Others on social media are totally Team Viv.

“I still don’t forgive Emmerdale for killing off Ar Viv, I think about it multiple times a day they will pay for their cruel crimes one day.”

“I wish they’d bring Viv Windsor back from the dead. She was great fun.”

“I miss Viv so much.”

Does Emmerdale miss Viv?

Vibrant, loud and brash and certainly not afraid to speak her mind, the Dales is definitely missing a Viv-type character. Both Val Pollard and Faith Dingle filled the hole for a while, but who is there now?

Charity Dingle speaks her mind and doesn’t take any prisoners, but it still doesn’t feel ‘Viv’ enough. Nicola and Brenda are both busybodies, but there’s not as much spark there.

Is everyone in Emmerdale just a bit too soft?
