The octogenarian left the Street in January to visit her nephew Spider in Peru, but since then we haven't heard nor seen anything of her.
According to The Sun, actress Eileen Derbyshire who plays the character of Emily was set to take a six-month break but it looks like that short break has been extended.
Bosses of the soap have confirmed that there are no plans for the actress to return
"Eileen has been off for a long time, and there is no expectation that she will be back. All of her cast mates have accepted she won’t be returning. "She’s 85 and has been out of the show for a year, so she probably would have found it tough to get back into the fast pace of filming... "Of course, as far as the bosses are concerned, there will always be a place for her on the show."Fans took to Twitter to mourn the possible loss of Emily from the soap... https://twitter.com/craigheathcote/status/797760664269897728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/GraemeN82/status/797759750402441216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/DeanGraham1/status/797740572714864640?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live here
