Deena Payne – Viv Hope from Emmerdale

Despite playing Viv Hope in the show Emmerdale for 18 years, Deena Payne was suddenly axed from the show after her character perished in a fire. In April 2021, she revealed that she was hurt a bit, not because her story was cut short but because she learned about the fact when the script was handed to her.

Payne’s character may be known for her wild looks and hairdo, but she favors elegant styles in real life. She will turn 67 in August 2021 and hasn’t been extremely active these days. She was last seen in the show Doctors in 2020.
