Grace Cassidy to leave Emmerdale

Grace Cassidy is leaving Emmerdale after three years, ITV have confirmed.
Cassidy, who plays Hannah Barton on the ITV 1 soap has said that she now feels the time is right to move on. She arrived along with the rest of the Barton family in July 2009.

”Working on Emmerdale has been one of the best periods of my life. After three years I have made so many friends here and I am going to miss them so much.
However, I felt the time was right to move on as I still have so much to learn. I can’t thank Stuart and the team enough for making me feel so welcome. I will never forget the opportunity I was given.” – Cassidy statement.

It is not yet know how she will leave. Her on-screen father, John Barton (James Thornton) was killed off earlier this year in a dramatic car crash.
