He immediately took Viv and a woman called Shirley Turner hostage. He tried to shoot Viv, but Shirley was hit and killed instead. Reg was then shot by police and he died. He left \u00a330k to Viv in his will as long as she divorced Vic, but she turned the money down and stayed with her husband.<\/p>\n<p>Viv and Vic did split up for a while in 1995 when she had an affair with Terry Woods, but she went back to him for the sake of the kids. Things eventually got better for Viv and Vic, but then tragedy struck. He was shot and killed during a robbery at the Post Office on Christmas Day, 1998.<\/p><section class=\"widget block-30 widget_block mb-4\"><div class=\"mb-3 stories-slider-container overflow-hidden

She was charged with conspiracy to defraud.<\/p>\n<p>Although she attempted to clear her name, Freddy threatened her children\u2019s lives and then planted stolen money on her, which only served to make matters worse. Viv pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>She refused to let Bob visit, but determined to stand by his wife, Bob devised several plans to get into the prison. Viv eventually wrote to him in 2009 and asked him to come and see her, but he felt things were over, so decided to have sex with Gennie Walker instead!<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>It turned out Viv was actually being released and when she turned up in the village the next day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/09\/19\/brenda-walker-emmerdale-brain-tumour-survivor-and-grieving-mum\/\">Brenda<\/a> mistook her for a thief!

However, it soon became clear she hoped the split wasn\u2019t permanent. She began faking burglaries to play the damsel in distress and get Bob\u2019s help and also tried to make him jealous. Eventually former lover Terry advised her to move on and she did try.<\/p>\n<p>Terry supported her, but she mistook his kindness for something more and made a move. He gently knocked her back, insisting he was now with Brenda.<\/p>\n<p>One more rejection hit Viv hard and she drunk a bottle of wine before passing out on the sofa. But a fire had been started at neighbouring Victoria Cottage and it soon spread to the shop. Terry broke in to rescue her and the twins.

It was at a time when I wasn\u2019t quite sure. If they tempted me to stay, I would\u2019ve stayed and I would have preferred to have given in my notice. I was bitterly disappointed with the storyline exit I had as well after all the years I had been in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to say: \u201cI was hurt quite deeply and I did enjoy playing the character. I still miss that, absolutely, it did hurt, that\u2019s for sure because it was a life and a person I had been playing for 18 years.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Deena also spoke out about the storyline and how she didn\u2019t want her character to die. \u201cI not only didn\u2019t have a storyline building up to it, but I also didn\u2019t even have a grave in Emmerdale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey just sent my bits down south and I didn\u2019t have any family left there so I did feel all of a sudden gone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd yes, in an ideal world it would have been fantastic to keep coming back in and muddying the waters and upsetting everybody and then back out as if nothing had happened.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>What is Deena Payne doing now?<\/h2>\n<p>Following her Emmerdale demise, Deena went back to the theatre.
