An actor from Emmerdale honors their character's father figure as they leave the show.

It was a heartbreaking Christmas Day for the cast and crew of Emmerdale as they said goodbye to their beloved co-star Dean Andrews. Olivia Bromley, who plays Dawn Fletcher on the popular ITV soap, took to social media to pay tribute to Dean after his emotional exit from the show.

Dean's character Will Taylor met a tragic end when he suffered a heart attack, despite his wife Kim Tate's desperate attempts to save him. Sadly, Will was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving his loved ones and fans devastated.

In the wake of his sudden and unexpected departure, Olivia shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram alongside a photo of the Home Farm residents and a selfie of her and Dean on set. She expressed her gratitude for having such a wonderful on-screen dad and reminisced about their time together, from covering up murders to living in his mansion rent-free. She ended her post with a toast to the Taylors, leaving fans to mourn the loss of Will and his impact on the show.

Fans were quick to respond to Olivia's touching tribute, sharing their own thoughts and feelings about Will's tragic end. Many expressed their sadness at the thought of Emmerdale without him, while others were simply gutted by the news.

In the episodes following Will's death, Dawn has become suspicious of Joe Tate, who recently returned to the village with a colorful past. When Dawn mentions a post-mortem to Joe and notices his unease, she becomes even more suspicious. However, when she brings her concerns to Kim, who suddenly seems to be on good terms with Joe, she is shocked when Kim defends him. Later, Joe promises to talk to Dawn and reassure her, but their conversation only confirms her suspicions and she continues to believe that he is responsible for her father's death.
