She arrived in the village back in 2018, but after eight years, bosses decided they had done all they can with her much-loved character. News of her axing sent shockwaves through the cast as she is also one of the most popular actors on set. A source said at the time: “Olivia is adored by everyone at Emmerdale so the decision to axe her has not gone down well at all. “She’s a popular member of the cast and if they can get rid of Olivia then the feeling is virtually no-one is safe. “Olivia understood their decision and is preparing to film her exit in the coming months.” Meanwhile Jimmy King star Nick has been on Emmerdale since 2004.
