Remember These British Soap Opera Stars? See What They Are Up To Now
Sophie Powles – Holly Barton, Emmerdale
Here’s another star from the soap Emmerdale and another actress who had her character killed off. Sophie Powles had two stints on Emmerdale, initially joining in 2009 and dyeing her naturally blond hair black. She left the show in 2012, but in 2016, showrunners announced that Powles would return to the role.
But it was only for a six-month period, and they killed off her drug-addicted character in a way that seemed fitting… with a drug overdose. After her second run on Emmerdale, Powles moved into theater, touring the UK with a play called ‘Rehearsal For Murder. In 2020 she was an associate producer on a short documentary called Tictoc.
