Remember These British Soap Opera Stars? See What They Are Up To Now
Deena Payne – Viv Hope, Emmerdale
Another one of the glamour girls on the show, Deena Payne’s character, Viv Hope, could never lose her Essex nature even after moving to Emmerdale. Payne could relate directly to the character since she herself was a matriarch of a family moving to London with a husband and kids at the time.
She played the character so well that she endured on Emmerdale for 18 years, making her the 17th longest-running character on the soap. But all things come to an end, and on Emmerdale, it’s usually gruesome. For Viv Hope, that end came in an explosion at the post office. Her last known role was in the series Doctors in 2020.
