Emmerdale: Another Cast Member Down With COVID-19

Emmerdale and Coronation Street have struggled with filming schedules and COVID-19 for a long time now. Unfortunately, another star went down and now quarantines. Hopefully, it won’t cause too many problems as the production team wrangles a way through it. Despite very strict protocols, the illness continually brings chaos to the studios.

Emmerdale News –  Faces Production Issues With Coronavirus

In mid-July, the Delta Variant of COVID-19 became a massive problem for Coro Street and Emmerdale. Both the cast and the crew were hit with the virus. Actually, John Whiston from ITV described the rise in cases as “alarming.” In fact, fears grow that unless the cases slow down, another shutdown might come for the shows. Recall, in January both shows came to a halt in production when the Kent Varient struck.

Back in January Emmerdale and Coronation Street literally came to a halt completely and the studio also reviewed their health and safety protocols. However, despite all their efforts, the virus sweeps through like they don’t exist. It’s a catch 22 for ITV as they try and maintain production but at the same time safeguard everyone. Probably, nobody foresaw these repeated rises and lowering of COVID-19 as variant after variant emerges. Now another star went down. Who is it?

Emmerdale News – Star Katie Hill Down With COVID-19

The news that Katie Hill, who plays the role of  Sarah Sugden self-isolates came via her Instagram this week. Still able to smile a bit, she told a follower that she’s “been better” but currently isolates at home. Meanwhile, The Sun UK followed up on the story. Apparently, ITV can’t actually comment on the health of their cast and crew. However, their source said, “Health and safety is so strict on set so it wasn’t a huge disaster but Katie’s filming schedule has obviously been moved around so she can recover.“

Well, over on her main Instagram Page, Katie Hill isn’t really talking about her illness much. In fact, the reveal about her COVID-19 came during a Q&A. The Emmerdale star posted up a photo of herself a few hours ago, and never even mentioned her illness. Nevertheless, no matter how good or bad she might feel, she can’t simply waltz off back to the studio. In her post, she shared a photo of herself sitting in her car just looking plain pretty!

Emmerdale News – Seems To Be Slow To Leak

Hardly anybody talked about Katie Hill’s Coronavirus in the post. Actully, most people just told her she looked “beautiful.” One fan said, “You’re stunning Katie 💞💞.”Well, she is young and at 18, hopefully, won’t suffer too many side effects and complications.
