Ever since Isabel Hodgins announced her pregnancy – months after her gorgeous wedding – Emmerdale fans have been dreading saying goodbye to Victoria. At the time, Isabel made it seem like she might never be coming back to the soap. But in a new interview with The Sun, she confirms she will be back, but she doesn’t know when. The same interview also suggests that Victoria’s on-screen exit may be closer than any of us ever thought. The article reports that Isabel’s final scenes will air this week – so Victoria only has a few days to get everything sorted. Isabel was keeping hush on how Victoria departs the show, but she did tease the drama. She told the outlet: “I am not going to spoil what happens. But Victoria will definitely be leaving the soap because I am having a baby in real life!” However, she confirmed the soap has left the door open for her, whenever she decides to return. Isabel explained: “They told me it was up to me when I come back to the soap, which is lovely. I have been in Emmerdale for 19 years. It’s been a huge part of my life. Everyone has been so nice.” So, whether or not Victoria actually confesses remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure, Emmerdale will be very strange without her.
