Emmerdale's Samantha Giles said it was a "mistake" for the soap to kill off a much-loved character in 2015.
Samantha, who plays Bernice Blackstock, was speaking about upcoming storylines for Emmerdale's 50th anniversary when she made the confession. The actress, who has lived in Merseyside for the past 15 years, said she feels bosses were wrong to kill off the "fabulous" Val Pollard.
In August 2015, Val and Diane Sugden were trapped in a hall of mirrors when a helicopter crashed into the village hall due to an explosion.
