Emmerdale fans couldn't help but be distracted as they noticed a new character from another soap. During Tuesday night's (July 12) edition of the ITV soap, viewers finally discovered the real reason for Sandra Flaherty's return following her reunion with daughter Liv last week.
Sandra was last seen in the Leeds-based programme last year when she reunited with her daughter at a caravan park in Wales as her alcohol addiction spiralled. The two continued to drink together throughout the reunion before Sandra panicked when she witnessed Liv suffering a seizure.
Her brother Aaron, who had tracked Liv down, explained that Liv had epilepsy and Sandra realised 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 Dingle, who is now her husband.
