Gaynor Faye, 49, played Megan Macey in Emmerdale before quitting the role back in 2019. She’s currently starring in the latest series of the BBC drama The Syndicate - written by Gaynor’s mother Kay Mellor.
Gaynor has discussed her exit from Emmerdale with the People and how likely a return to the show would be.

“It was a really tough decision,” she said.
“To be able to do a job that you love in your hometown is very rare. But I couldn’t have stayed and done Band Of Gold (the theatre show), so I didn’t have a choice.
“I really hoped I could have done that and stayed at Emmerdale but it wasn’t possible. And they left the door open for me.”
Asked whether Gaynor would rule out a return to Emmerdale she gave an adamant answer.
She replied: “Absolutely not – it’s a great job.”
Soap fans will remember Gaynor played Judy Mallett in Coronation for four years before the character died in 1999. A return would feel unlikely but Gaynor insisted anything is possible in soapland.
“I wouldn’t have ruled out going back to Coronation Street but I died.” she said.
“I’m a big believer of if it’s meant to be, it will happen.”
We’ll keep you posted on Gaynor’s possible return to Emmerdale or Corrie.
