Vanessa Woodfield in tragic split from Suzy ahead of Emmerdale exit
It was an emotional night ahead of Michelle Hardwick's temporary departure from the ITV soap.
Vanessa Woodfield experienced a heartbreaking split from Suzy Merton in tonight's Emmerdale.
The vet woke up during Tuesday's episode (29th November 2022) with a terrible hangover from her drunken night of arguments with best friend Rhona Goskirk.
The previous night had seen the past raked up and Vanessa angrily reveal to Rhona that she is taking a new job in Canada after learning that Rhona has bought out Jamie Tate's shares in the vet practice.
However, Vanessa panicked when she realised that her girlfriend Suzy had not come home, leaving Vanessa to panic and worry that Suzy had returned to her past of substance abuse.
Later, Vanessa found Suzy with friend and recovering drug addict Leyla Cavanagh (Roxy Shahidi) having a laugh around cake and tissues.
