In an exciting update for fans of *Emmerdale*, Charlotte Bellamy, who has become an iconic figure on the show, has revealed her plans for the future of her character, Laurel Thomas, after an impressive 22 years. During a recent interview with Bella magazine, Charlotte assured viewers that she has no intention of leaving the series anytime soon. She humorously noted that the only way she’d exit would be under extraordinary circumstances, quipping, “I’d have to be hit by a bus in the village for them to get rid of me. I absolutely love *Emmerdale* and I’m so grateful to be doing something I love.”

Charlotte also teased that if she were ever to be written out of the show, she wouldn’t stray too far from the picturesque Dales, joking that she might open a coffee shop nearby. Reflecting on her time in the village, she reminisced about some of her most poignant storylines, particularly the one involving Ashley’s dementia, which resonated deeply with audiences and received widespread acclaim.

Recently, Laurel’s journey has taken a dramatic turn, especially following her split from her third husband, J Sharma.
