Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale villain Celia Daniels has made quite an impact during her short time in the village. From attempted murder and drug dealing to exploitation and fraud; her cruelty over the last six months has known no bounds.

After terrorising many of the locals, things have finally started to catch up to Celia, and she recently revealed her plan to flee the Dales with her son Ray Walters. The scheming duo have been plotting their move to Wrexham on New Year’s Day, where they will scout out new victims to exploit.

According to The Sun, Jaye Griffiths, who plays the villain, has already filmed her final scenes on the soap – meaning Celia’s reign of terror has officially come to an end.

But while she won’t be on our screens for much longer, her sinister actions will have a lasting impact on the village.

Speaking previously about her role, Griffiths shared that she knew her time on the soap would be short-lived. “I knew it was finite, which I am very sad about, because I would like to stay forever, but it’s such a strong arc,” she said.

The actor addressed the recent modern slavery plot, which saw Bear Wolf and other vulnerable people forced to carry out manual labour by Celia and Ray. She said she hoped it would highlight the reality of the “horrendous” situation.

“I mean, it’s hideous. It’s hideous. Sometimes, when I read the script, I think, ‘really? You’re going to make me say that?’ Just when you think she’s gone quite far enough, they’ll make me go a bit further! So yes, it’s horrendous. Hopefully, maybe conversations will start to be heard. Maybe a question will run through people’s minds.”

In next week’s episodes, April Windsor will find herself in even more trouble with Celia, as Dylan Penders reveals the truth about Bear’s ordeal. Determined to free Bear, April sneaks onto Celia’s farm and begs him to escape with her.

Bear refuses to leave the property, forcing April to flee while she has the chance. However, the teen is spotted by a suspicious Celia, who orders Ray to kill her. Could the pair perform one more evil act before they make their exit?
