Emmerdale fans were left in tears as they said an emotional goodbye to Liv Flaherty.
Viewers saw the character become the latest tragic victim of the soap’s 50th anniversary storm storyline. Earlier this week, Emmerdale favourite Harriet Finch, played by Katherine Dow Blyton, was also killed off.
Isobel Steele, 21, who plays Liv Flaherty, had been rumoured to leave Emmerdale as we’d previously reported. A source previously confirmed: "It’s been a big decision for Isobel but she’s ready to try new things.

“She feels like she’s done all she can at Emmerdale and wants to focus on her music career and make a real go of it. Bosses have pulled out all the stops for the 50th anniversary month and Isobel’s exit will be no different."
Liv death came after she was crushed by a caravan as she pushed husband Vinny Dingle to safety. While Vinny was able to get free, Liv was crushed by the vehicle. As paramedics arrived, Emmerdale residents cleared the roads, while Liv’s family waited for news on her condition. Unfortunately, there was nothing paramedics could do except make her comfortable.
Emmerdale fans saw Isobel Steele share emotional final scenes with family members Aaron Dingle, played by Danny Miller, and Vinny Dingle, played by Bradley Johnson. This evening’s episode has proved to be yet another difficult watch for Emmerdale fans.
Many took to Twitter to say their goodbyes to Isobel Steel and her character Liv Flaherty. We saw @sadlerfiona21 post: “That was absolutely heartbreaking. Gonna miss Liv #emmerdale.” While @velvetywonders added: “I can’t believe that they’ve killed off Liv!! #emmerdale.”
