Emmerdale star Rebecca Grant has confirmed she has left the ITV soap.
The actress played Doctor Grant in the ITV soap and featured throughout the storyline that saw Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) learn about her breast cancer.
Last week, after making the decision to have a double mastectomy, Chas had the operation and is now focusing on her recovery and moving forward in her life after a traumatic few months.
Recently, Rebecca took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt message to say goodbye to Emmerdale and Lucy Pargeter.
‘Honoured to have played Dr Grant throughout the duration of Chastity Dingle’s cancer journey on @emmerdale Catch @manjinder23 stunning work tonight as our director and witness my medical (pretended) expertise along with @rhoda.oforiattah.
‘And honestly miss working with the very talented @lucy_pargeter ❤️.’
A few weeks ago, Chas told Cain (Jeff Hordley), Caleb (William Ash) and Aaron (Danny Miller) that she has the faulty BRCA2 gene and they need to get tested.
For Cain and Caleb there was relief all round when they opened their results and discovered they’ve tested negative. This also means that they don’t have to worry about having passed the gene to their children, so Nicky (Lewis Cope) is also in the clear, as well as Cain’s children.
It was a different story for Aaron, however, who tested positive.
‘More than anything, I don’t think he realises the seriousness of it straight away,’ Danny Miller told us. ‘I think it’s a case of him having to deal with it fairly quietly and privately.’
This led Aaron to lie to Chas. She was hugely relieved to hear that her brothers are in the clear and Aaron couldn’t bring himself to upset her by telling her the truth, so he told her that he, too, tested negative.
‘He’s happy that everyone else is negative,’ Danny reflected. ‘Secretly he’s going along with it that he’s negative as well, when really he’s positive. I think it’s almost like a defence mechanism where he’s like, “I’m negative and if I see it like that, no-one needs to know.” That’s kind of where his head’s at.’
Danny said that at some point down the line Aaron might be able to open up, and there are only two people he would be able to talk to about it.
‘I know there’ll be some sort of conversation with Chas about it at some point. I think she really is the only person – Paddy (Dominic Brunt) as well, probably – that he would really open up to and let his guard down without feeling weak and vulnerable.’
