Deena Payne – Viv Hope from Emmerdale
Deena Payne, the talented actress known for her portrayal of Viv Hope in “Emmerdale,” graced our screens for a remarkable 18 years. Despite her devoted performance, her character met an untimely demise in a tragic fire, leading to Payne’s sudden departure from the show. In an honest admission, she said it hurt her that she found out her fate by being given a script without any warning.
Off-screen, Payne’s sophisticated tastes diverge from her on-screen persona’s wild looks and hairdo. Now in her 60s, she has maintained a relatively low profile of late. Fans last saw her in a guest role on the medical drama, “Doctors,” in 2020.
