Sally Dexter says her emotional Emmerdale exit made her realise how lucky she is

When actress Sally Dexter suggested to her soap bosses that her character, Emmerdale favourite Faith Dingle, should be killed off, she imagined going out in a blaze of glory.

"When we discussed Faith returning to the show, I thought it would be good if she died," reveals the 62 year old, whose character left the Yorkshire Dales in 2019 following a bust-up with her son Cain, before returning in February this year.

"I liked the thought of her saving her children, Cain and Chas, and one idea I had was to have a gunman burst into the pub and for Faith to save them all," Sally explains.
