A pity Holly has returned like this.

Its a pity she returned at all, IMO the actress who plays her is terrible.

Im still vexed how she got her old job back. She and her simpering sister seemed to be binned off for good reason last time round as they just ddnt make the mark acting skills wise.

Lets hope shes spent the last four years learning to be less monotone and emotional
y espressive, dont look so far thou.

Emmerdale's Holly Barton will finally face a major turning point this summer as she vows to beat her drug addiction by going cold turkey.

Holly (Sophie Powles) will beg to be locked away by her family after coming clean about her tragic relapse, including how her sister-in-law Victoria was beaten up by a drug dealer thanks to her.

The emotional scenes are still a few weeks away, so there's plenty of drama to come before the big moment that Holly hits rock bottom and admits that she needs help.

Remembering how her parents previously locked her up in her bedroom to keep her away from drugs, Holly desperately begs Moira (Natalie J Robb) to try the same tactic again.

Emmerdale's series producer Iain MacLeod revealed: "Holly being locked up is voluntary this time. It's Holly's request. The story we wanted to tell was firstly about a high functioning drug addict. It's not the classic drug spiral story.

"It's about someone who is trying to take a hold of her own destiny and trying to get a stranglehold on this addiction that is tormenting her. It's about mother and daughter tackling it together, so obviously what we see is her self-imposed exile as she tries to go cold turkey and she makes it.

"What we wanted to do is to show that somebody can get a hold of the addiction with people around them. The question becomes in the long term, will that resurface? Can she stay on the straight and narrow?"


Holly's addiction will also be a major factor in upcoming marital problems for Moira and Cain (Jeff Hordley). It's been revealed that Cain will be pushed back towards his old flame Charity over the summer, as his current relationship starts to hit the rocks.

MacLeod added: "It becomes a massive bone of contention for Moira and Cain. At its core, it's more than addiction story. It's about the family as a whole.

"Cain has a very well established aversion to addicts, so Cain and Moira have very opposing views on how best to deal with this. Most fundamentally, it's a story about the family and the debate which ensues on how best to deal with what this person is going through and how it impacts on all the relationships."

Good news although she has started to slowly grow on me since she supported Moira through the HIV storyline. Hopefully her departure will mean that Moira and Cain get back together
