Emmerdale viewers believe they’ve figured out Wendy’s exit after recent episodes revealed shocking twists and budget cuts affecting the cast.
London: Fans of Emmerdale think they’ve cracked the code on Wendy’s exit after the latest episode. ITV confirmed she’s leaving soon, and viewers are buzzing about it.
Susan Cookson, who plays Wendy, joined the show in 2019. Her character has had a rough ride, starting with her showing up to confront Victoria Sugden about her grandchild.
Things took a dark turn when Wendy’s son, Lee, raped Victoria. Since then, Wendy settled in the Dales and even started dating Bob Hope. But with budget cuts hitting the show, several characters have already left.
Recently, Wendy leaked Rhona’s personal info to the press, which stirred up drama when a journalist blackmailed her for more details about Ella Forster, a character with a troubled past.
In tonight’s episode, the paper ran a story about Ella, and Wendy looked uneasy as Ella thanked her for support. Fans are speculating this could lead to Wendy’s departure.
On social media, viewers shared their thoughts. One user said, “So this is how Wendy is leaving then. She is telling the newspapers about everyone’s past. She will be excluded.”
Another chimed in, “So fake nurse Wendy has spilled the beans. This has all the makings of a quick exit storyline.”
After filming her last scenes, a source mentioned that Susan is well-liked, but budget cuts forced tough choices, leading to her exit.
“ITV is facing a cash crisis with the soaps, and there just isn’t enough money to keep everyone,” the source added.
Don’t forget to catch Emmerdale at 7:30 PM on weeknights on ITV1, STV, and available on ITVX.
