Emmerdale theory: Vanessa Woodfield’s addiction secret unveiled in exit twist

Suzy Merton, Vanessa’s lover, recently revealed, was not the kind, innocent person she had pretended to be when she first arrived in the Emmerdale hamlet.

In this week’s episodes of the ITV soap opera, it was finally clarified that the newcomer was the one who provided Holly Barton money to buy narcotics on the night she overdosed.

Suzy occasionally used drugs, but she wasn’t hooked, so she might have missed all the clues that her partner was hiding the fact that she is an alcoholic.

The repercussions of Suzy’s secret being revealed to the public continue in the episodes of the weeknight serial drama that air the following week.

Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), who thinks the businesswoman killed his sister, is one individual who is furious with the woman.

He also has some revelations for Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy), despite her best efforts to keep things quiet.

The medications Laurel discovered and used to end her relationship with Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) actually belonged to Suzy, according to Matty.

The businesswoman appears to have yet another foe to add to her long list, and since everyone is against her, she goes to Vanessa.

Vanessa is flailing around the community intoxicated for the umpteenth time, upset that her most recent relationship has already ended.

In the episode that aired on Wednesday night, Vanessa admitted to Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) that she would never meet the woman of her dreams after getting wasted.

This came after she consumed all the booze at a lunch she shared with Leyla and her husband, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson).

Returning to the next scenes, Vanessa arrives home from the bar intoxicated and discovers Suzy waiting for her on her doorway.

Suzy will implore her old partner for another chance, but even if she is looking to Vanessa for solace, Suzy might be devastated if Vanessa refuses her.

Suzy might opt to leave the village where her ex-lover lives after only a few months if she is unable to live there.

Vanessa might lose control if witnessing her ex-girlfriend depart the village causes her to consume more alcohol than she already has.

Without anyone realizing she had a problem, Vanessa could have managed to control her alcoholism for months or even years.

Vanessa might find it difficult to keep her secret a secret any longer if Suzy’s secret becomes yet another obstacle.

She may try to obtain aid from people like Liam and her ex-girlfriend Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) if her drinking becomes out of control.

The town veterinarian is fighting an uphill battle with alcoholism as it takes over her life, but will Vanessa acknowledge that she has a problem?

Vanessa was given a bowel cancer diagnosis back in 2020, so this wouldn’t be the first challenge she’d faced recently.

She was being held hostage by Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather) at the same time and believed she was going to pass away.

Vanessa discovered Charity had cheated on her after leaving the village to have additional cancer treatment, making her single once more.

Will she say that the breakup of this relationship caused her to turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism for her emotions?

When Vanessa returned to the town in the latter part of last year, the actress who plays her, Michelle, talked about the character.

Michelle’s alter ego, Vanessa, responded when asked if she still had her sassy side: “I always think back to when Vanessa first arrived and she was this fiery party girl.

“I believe that while she was with Charity, we lost a little of it, and I’d want to see some of the old Vanessa return.

“I wish she didn’t have to answer to anyone, so she could speak her mind a little more. She has definitely become tougher because of all she has been through, in my opinion.

But given that it appears she hasn’t dealt with her life’s hardships as well as she imagined, would the cherished villager find her exterior drop?

Vanessa might not have smashed the bottle all that hard when she got back to the village since she knew what she was getting into.

Vanessa is not stupid, thus she is aware that Charity is dating Mackenzie, according to Michelle. She could tell that her sister had informed her.

“A lot of water has flowed under the bridge and a lot of time has passed. Vanessa isn’t jealous of me, in my opinion, because it’s been a while.

Will Suzy’s departure from the community, nevertheless, be the trigger that pushes her over the brink and compels her to acknowledge a problem?
