Emmerdale spoilers: Liv shocked as mum Sandra returns | The Sun
LIV Flaherty has finally found love and happiness after months of hardship, which included a stint in prison.
But in another Emmerdale twist, she's set to face with the surprise return of her mother Sandra – why is she back?
Life in the Dales has been particularly cruel for Liv Flaherty (portrayed by Isobel Steele).
After coming out as asexual, the character struggled with her alcohol addiction.
Things only got worse for her when she was accused of Ben Tucker's murder for which serial killer Meena Jutla was actually responsible.
Liv was thrown behind bars and lost the support of many village residents including her brother Aaron who failed to believe she was innocent.
