Emmerdale fans were left in tears this week as beloved character Priya Sharma (Fiona Wade) made her emotional exit from the popular soap opera. After 12 years of drama, romance, and heartache, the character said goodbye to the village and the fans who have followed her journey over the years.
Priya first arrived in the village as a feisty and ambitious businesswoman, taking over the local sweet factory and quickly making enemies among the other residents. But as she settled into life in Emmerdale, she soon became a fan favorite thanks to her strong spirit and determination.
Over the years, Priya has been at the center of some of the soap’s most gripping storylines. From her tumultuous romance with Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) to her battle with mental health, the character has been through it all. But despite the challenges she’s faced, Priya has always managed to come out on top, earning the respect and admiration of fans and her fellow villagers alike.
Fans were gutted to see Priya go, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts and feelings about the character’s exit. “I’m going to miss Priya so much,” wrote one fan on Twitter. “She was such a strong and inspiring character. Thank you for 12 years of amazing storytelling.”
Another fan commented, “Priya’s exit was so emotional. She’s been such a big part of Emmerdale for so long, it’s going to be strange not seeing her on the show anymore.” Many fans also praised Fiona Wade’s portrayal of the character, with one saying “Fiona Wade did an amazing job of bringing Priya to life. She will be sorely missed.”
Priya’s exit was an emotional one, as she said goodbye to her friends and family in the village, and her fans on social media. In her final scenes, she was seen driving out of the village, leaving behind a trail of memories and a legacy that will live on in the hearts of Emmerdale fans forever.
As one of the longest-serving characters on the show, Priya has become a beloved member of the Emmerdale family and her exit marks the end of an era. Fans will undoubtedly miss seeing her on their screens every week, but they will always remember the impact she had on the show and the memories she created. It’s always hard to say goodbye to a character that has been a part of our lives for so long, but we wish Priya all the best in her next chapter.
It’s not yet clear whether Priya will make a comeback to the show in the future, but for now, we bid her farewell and thank her for the past 12 years of drama, romance, and heartache that she brought to our screens. Emmerdale will never be the same without her, but her legacy will live on in the hearts of fans.
