Emmerdale airs Bernice Blackstock's exit as tragic accident rocks the village

Emmerdale aired heartbreaking scenes on Thursday night, as the village bid farewell to Bernice Blackstock.

Actress Samantha Giles bowed out of the ITV soap, as news of a devastating accident rocked the Dales.

Bernice's daughter Dee Dee was left hysterical as she had just been told her father Charlie had been involved in a car accident at home in Australia.

His condition was said to be serious, with Dee Dee keen to get back as soon as she could to be with him.

With it being Bernice's wedding day to Liam the following day, she was unsure what to do.
