Emmerdale's Leyla Harding actress Roxy Shahidi has discussed her character's future on the ITV soap.
The actress, who has been on the soap since 2018, recently appeared on Steph's Packed Lunch to talk about her character's future after her latest storyline saw the businesswoman being held captive by drug dealer Callum.
Roxy opened up on her dream way to leave the ITV soap she said: “100% taxi! If you get in a taxi, you can always come back in a taxi. You go in taxi, you come back in a taxi. So, you want the taxi really because it leaves that door fluid.
“You don’t want to die; it’d be too sad to die. You've known that character for years and years and years and you’ve invested so much. I couldn't do it, I’d weep.”
During a recent episode of Emmerdale viewers saw Leyla's life hang in the balance as Callum's plan to restore his reputation backfired, Liverpool Echo reports. He demanded the recovering addict transport a drugs haul for him but when the plan fell through Callum fell apart, announcing his plans to go on the run.
But, despite Leyla assuring him she would not go to the police, the drug dealer attacked her.
