Sally Dexter has spoken of what she’ll miss about the soap when Emmerdale fans say an emotional goodbye to Faith Dingle.
Millions have watched Faith’s cancer battle which has impacted the lives of many village favourites. Acting star Sally Dexter, 62, has spoken of her character’s upcoming death and the importance of her recent storyline.
Sally said: “I have enjoyed being back. I will miss the laughter, the fabulous Yorkshire countryside and the skill, talent and dedication of the whole team of people I respect, admire and have huge affection for.

“I’m hugely sad that Faith can’t return. If you spot me on the street you might recognise me wearing a few items. I always knew Faith was coming back to die.
“My idea was to have her save Cain and Chas from some sort of attack in the Woolie - say from a bullet or a knife aimed at her children from a crazed intruder. I could picture her sliding down the side of the bar, with Cain and Chas declaring her a heroine.
“But the story Jane (Hudson, Emmerdale boss) and the team wanted was a far more important and difficult one to tell. I only hope we have done as much justice as we could.”
"I wouldn't be opposed to joining another soap. It's nice to be part of a family, that's what I love about it."
