Emmerdale Harriet Finch actress Katherine Dow Blyton speaks about future plans after soap exit

Katherine Dow Blyton has opened up about her Emmerdale exit after her character Harriet Finch became the first death of the soap’s storm.

In shocking scenes, as part of Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary, viewers have had to say goodbye to Harriet Finch - a character who has been a soap favourite since 2013. As reported by the RadioTimes, Katherine Dow Blyton, 57, said: “I got very emotional reading it (her final script). On the actual day, I was covered in blood and I had various bits of woodland hanging out of my hair.

“We had these industrial wind machines which were literally blowing sand and debris into your eyes. So when it came to it, it wasn’t as emotional because the technicality of what you have to do takes away from the emotion, so I managed to get through the day without sobbing.”
