Sandra Flaherty made her return to Emmerdale last week - and she's up to no good. The character, played by Joanne Mitchell, was last seen in the ITV soap last year when she reunited with her daughter at a caravan park in Wales as her alcohol addiction spiralled.
The mother and daughter drank together throughout their reunion which came after Liv's relationship with Vinny Dingle hit the rocks following the death of his dad, Paul. But things soon changes as Sandra panicked when she witnessed Liv suffering a seizure.
Her brother Aaron, who had tracked Liv down, explained that Liv had epilepsy and Sandra realized she was not fit to look after Liv and told her to return to the village. Since then, after a hard battle, Liv managed to get herself sober and reunite with boyfriend Vinny with the pair having become husband and wife after eloping.
