Emmerdale legend who left after 14 years reveals unexpected career update
The actress, who is 21, played the role of Amelia Spencer in the ITV soap from 2011-2024.

Emmerdale fans beg for Dawn Fletcher to exit ITV show
Played by Olivia Bromley, she is the estranged wife of Billy Fletcher and mother of Lucas Taylor and Evan Fletcher. Alongside that, she is the special guardian of Lucas' half-sister, Clemmie Reed. She has been involved in some big storylines, including recently having an affair with Joe Tate, but viewers have seemingly grown tired of her. A post was made on the r/Emmerdale Reddit page, with the caption: "OH MY GOD WRITE DAWN OUT PLEASE!!!!!" The user added: "That's it really. Just that. Nothing more," with plenty of people agreeing with the sentiment. Emmerdale fans criticise "unbearable" Dawn Fletcher Plenty of Emmerdale viewers have found the character to be very unlikeable of late, and are keen for her to move on from the show. One person said: "God, she is so unbearable. And her 'I'm just looking out for the kids' rubbish should be her new catchphrase from now on. "Her logic makes 0 sense. If she really is looking out for the kids, like Billy said earlier, she'd leave Joe without a second thought. "I actually wonder if we're meant to like Dawn or not at this point. I actually don't know anymore." Another shared a similar view, commenting: "Billy was right to question whether or not she cares about her kids! "Clemmie was terrified because of Joe, even to the point of calling social services to get away from him! but that doesn't stop Dawn lusting after him! Unbelievable!" A third posted: "I skip EVERY SCENE WITH DAWN. Do not understand why she is on this show still....." Some were making theories to understand the logic behind the character's actions. Recommended reading: One said: "At this point it's feel like the only "save" for her actions is if she really is covering for Clemmie and for some insane reason is lying to everyone about it. But even that, I think, falls flat at this point. "The entire 'Joe got pushed plot' has been so poorly done I'm not sure what the writers are even thinking at this point." Another shared: "She used to be on one my favourite characters but I can't stand her now! Just as shameless as her dad!"

The pale pink wine, in a clear bottle with a white gold-rimmed label, was launched on a dedicated where an over-21 birth date must be inputted to enter and where the drink was described as: 'A delicately balanced rose with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.' The site adds: 'Reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles, it's crisp, pale in color, and effortlessly elegant – crafted for slow afternoons and golden-hour gatherings. 'This rose captures the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments through its thoughtfully crafted blend.'

Meghan added apricot jam to her collection in June after restocking her online store, with items selling out for a second time in a row. A post shared by @aseverofficial The duchess was shown drinking rose during the last episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan earlier this year when she offered chef Alice Waters a glass of wine. 'Would you like a glass of rose while we're cooking?' the duchess said, pouring from a bottle which does not appear to be As Ever wine, having a different label. Meghan added as she drank: 'Might be the best sip of wine I've ever had.' Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.
