On a digital forum, ITV viewers have shared their theories on the moment it all went wrong for Amelia Spencer as they praised the decision to cut her character.
One Emmerdale fan wrote: “I wish her the best, but this was long overdue.
“They’re doing quite well at getting rid of the dead wood lately.”
Another shared: “Wish her all the best but had a feeling she wouldn’t be in it for much longer after Dan’s exit.”
“They turned her too nasty over the past year so sadly I didn’t see a long term future for her. Feel sorry for Sam, he’s lost his son, his father and now his grandchild,” said a third.
In recent storylines, Amelia has been seen getting into a relationship with abuser Tom King.
Amelia is unaware of Tom’s abuse of estranged wife Belle Dingle, which led to the breakdown of their marriage.
The new relationship comes after she broke up with Noah Dingle and took a job as a barmaid behind the bar at The Woolpack.
As the news broke of her exit, Daisy has admitted that she’s been struggling behind the scenes since bosses pulled her into a covert meeting to let her know her character would be exiting the ITV soap.
She was told her last scenes in Emmerdale would be shown on screen just before Christmas.
Her parents previously left the dales and the actress has been told by bosses they ran out of storylines for her character.
Reflecting on the news, she told The Mirror: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first.
“Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known. I’ve spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting.”
Daisy also revealed she was told of the decision to axe her character by show bosses back in May, but took some time to come to terms with their decision.
She added: “Once they explained, I totally got it. Amelia isn’t part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn’t have any family.
“There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.”
