Isobel Steele has reportedly quit ITV soap Emmerdale<\/a> after six years in the role of Liv Dingle, according to The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Liv was introduced back in 2016 as the cheeky teenage half-sister of troubled Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), and she soon became a fan favourite. As the character grew, she tackled a range of important subjects, including alcoholism and embracing her asexual identity.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Liv was targeted by her ruthless mother Sandra Flaherty (Joanne Mitchell) as she tried to con her out of all her money \u2013 and the young woman faces fresh drama this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The shocking claim that Steele has quit the soap was released as the weekend drew to a close \u2013 and with just under two weeks to go until the show airs its huge storm stunt<\/a> to mark its 50th birthday, fans have been left stunned by reports of this latest bombshell exit.<\/p>\n

But what do we know so far, and what has been confirmed? Read on for all you need to know.<\/p>\n

The Sun revealed that star Steele is reportedly set to exit Emmerdale to focus on her music career. Steele is a talented singer who previously released an EP, Sounds from the Lounge, back in 2019, which includes original songs.<\/p>\n

A source told the publication: \u201cIt\u2019s been a big decision for Isobel but she\u2019s ready to try new things. She feels like she\u2019s done all she can at Emmerdale and wants to focus on her music career and make a real go of it. Bosses have pulled out all the stops for the 50th anniversary month and Isobel\u2019s exit will be no different.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Liv\u2019s half-brother Aaron returning to screens this week<\/a>, it\u2019s speculated that actor Miller could have reprised his role especially for her exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cDanny and Isobel are like brother and sister in real life. There is real affection between them. There was no way he wouldn\u2019t return,\u201d the source added.<\/p>\n

But how could Liv bid farewell to the village?<\/p>

Is Liv Dingle being killed off?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Well, this is the real shocker \u2013 it seems that Liv could be the fatality at the centre of Emmerdale\u2019s storm, due to air on Sunday 16th October.<\/p>\n

The Sun\u2019s source claimed: \u201cViewers are going to be on the edge of their seats as it all plays out and Liv is killed off. It\u2019s a real heartbreaker, a death fans will remember for a long time to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

No further details have been released of the upcoming storyline, but a new image reveals how the storm wreaks havoc on the village.<\/p>\n

Could Liv find herself trapped without hope of rescue, or might she initially escape harm, only to collapse with internal injuries later on? Whatever happens, we could be left heartbroken.<\/p>\n
