Santa Claus has a very special Christmas present for Emmerdale fans this year – as soap veteran Liz Dawn has come out of retirement for a stint in the soap.
Famous for playing Coronation Street’s much-loved Vera Duckworth, Liz will be gracing our TV screens as Mrs Winterbottom on Christmas Day in the Dales.
She’ll be playing a ferociously demanding customer at Eric Pollard’s B&B and while fans might be sad to learn she’ll only be appearing in the Dales for one episode, Liz says she can’t wait for viewers to see her on screen.
