A character exits for good
Emmerdale have confirmed Naomi Walters' exit storyline from the ITV soap.

In scenes airing next week, Victor is sad to see Naomi struggling with money. He convinces her to chat to Vinny and see if she can bag some of the cash he has got. He soon lends her some money, with Naomi taken aback by the gesture.
A delighted Naomi, with the cash now in her hand, is urged by Victor to enjoy the money rather than use it to pay off her debts. She thinks about it for a moment, considering whether to just splurge the money rather than use it for what she really needs to.
Later, she is accused of giving Victor free pints and humiliated, she decides to quit her job and storms out of the pub.
Naomi tells Victor that she is tempted by his suggestion of spending the money and contemplates ditching the village and her family, Charles and Manpreet, in a bid to live her life exactly how she wants to.
