Katherine Dow Blyton has revealed that she has still not yet processed the fact that she has left Emmerdale.
In shock scenes on Monday night, Storm Week claimed its first victim as former vicar Harriet Finch met a grisly end when her quad bike first fell on top of her before going up in flames.
Talking to press earlier this month, Blyton - part of the cast for the last nine years - said: "I got very emotional reading [the script].
"On the actual day I was covered in blood and I had various bits of woodland hanging out of my hair. We had these industrial wind machines which were literally blowing sand and debris into your eyes.
"So when it came to [filming] it, it wasn't as emotional because the technicality of what you have to do takes away from the emotion, so I managed to get through the day without sobbing."
She added: "The death wasn't my last scene [of filming] though, but on my last day I received flowers and lovely gifts and messages.
"I don't think it will hit me that I'm not going back for a couple of weeks because it feels like I'm on a break but it will slowly hit me."
Storm Week on Emmerdale continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV.
