Following the death of Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) in the immediate aftermath of the crash, we then learned that Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) had died on her way to hospital.
Another cast member departing the Dales in this tragic incident, Martelle Edinborough shared the love by telling Roxy, ‘Gonna miss this Queen so much!!
She added how emotional her final scenes with Joe-Warren Plant, who plays on-screen son Jacob Gallagher, were, admitting that they both struggled to stop crying, even when Leyla was supposed to be dead.
However, her final scenes didn’t quite go to plan, as Roxy was forced to miss some filming after coming down with a virus, she has since revealed.
And in real life, Roxy Shahidi’s cast mates have been equally upset by her departure as they paid tribute to their friend and colleague.
