Emmerdale star films final scenes as she leaves soap after darkest EVER storyline

But as the true horrifying scope of her criminal empire is revealed, Celia Daniels will soon be leaving the village.

Actress Jaye Griffiths has transformed her character from a new farmer to a terrifying evil presence in the village in just six months – but now she’s done.

A source said: “Jaye has truly loved her time on Emmerdale but she knew when she signed up that a character like Celia had a limited shelflife.

“She must be seen to get her comeuppance and that’s what is going to happen – one way or another.

“But while Celia might be done – her impact and secrets will run and run and continue to cause chaos long after she’s gone.”

The storyline has been branded the darkest soap storyline ever with its harrowing contents.

At first April Windsor was groomed into drug dealing, before quickly being manipulated into doing other jobs for Celia and her adopted son Ray.

She was quickly sold for sex in a disturbing twist before April ended up fighting back against one of the paedophile punters and left thinking she had k.i.l.l.e.d him.

It later emerged that she hadn’t k.i.l.l.e.d him but Celia has her convinced that they got rid of the body to protect her.

When April finally told her parents, Celia threatened them – and forced them to watch as Ray tried to k.i.l.l April’s boyfriend Dylan who is now in a coma.

And to add to all this, Celia has also been enslaving vulnerable people, keeping them locked up and working for nothing on her farm.

In a further disturbing twist Bear Wolf was revealed to have been enslaved by them – and is just a stone’s throw away from his family who are convinced he ran away for a new life in Ireland.

Bear was forced to bury the body of his friend Anya after Ray and Celia refused to get her medical help and let her d.i.e.

They wrapped her body in a blanket taken from Moira Dingle – and buried her on her land, in an effort t frame Moira for everything.
