Life has taken quite a turn for Ursula Holden-Gill since her time on Emmerdale as Alice Dingle. The talented actress graced our screens from 2004 to 2006, portraying the strong-willed and independent Alice. Her character's story was one of love, loss, and a surprising twist of fate.
Alice and Sam Dingle's paths crossed when Paddy stumbled upon her living alone on her family's chicken farm. Her father had recently passed away, leaving her with no other choice but to sell the farm. With nowhere to go, she moved in with Paddy and his then-wife Emily. That's where she first met Sam, and their connection was almost instant. They bonded over their similar personalities and shared experiences, making them a perfect match.
However, their love story hit a bump when Alice decided to move to Norfolk and sell her farm. Sam couldn't bear the thought of being without her, so he followed her. But things took a surprising turn when he suddenly disappeared, leaving Alice to return to Emmerdale with the news that she was pregnant with their son, Samson.
Sam's initial fear of becoming a father made him hesitant to leave Emmerdale and Alice again. So, they settled back into village life, with Alice's pregnancy progressing smoothly. But just when they thought they could finally start their family, Alice received devastating news - she had cancer. Doctors advised her to terminate her pregnancy to undergo treatment, but she refused. In 2006, she gave birth to Samson, but tragically passed away a few months later, with Sam by her side, administering a fatal dose of morphine to ease her pain.
After her heartbreaking exit from the show, Ursula went on to pursue a career in teaching. Her last acting credit was in a series called "In the Dark" in 2017. However, she recently made a career change and is now a Dramatherapist, dedicated to helping children and families overcome trauma. Along with her career, Ursula's appearance has also changed over the years, with her now sporting longer hair compared to Alice's iconic short red locks.
Speaking of changes, Sam's life has also taken a different turn since Alice's passing. He is now married to Lydia, and the two recently dealt with the loss of Zak, a beloved member of the Dingle family. Their sorrow was further complicated by the return of Zak's daughter, Tina, who dropped a bombshell by revealing herself as the biological mother of Vinny Dingle. Needless to say, she has caused quite a stir in the village, and her return has left everyone wondering what other surprises she may have in store.
