The soap star bid goodbye to the Dales in tonight’s episode after five years in the role, with her exit announced in late December last year.
Viewers saw Wendy try to make amends before her departure, including coming clean to Marlon Dingle and Rhona Goskirk about her involvement in the news story about April in the local Hotten Courier newspaper.

Having a cup of tea at Victoria Sugden’s house, Wendy admitted she was going to “miss waking up to that view everyday”, looking out at the village that has been her home for the last few years.
Victoria tried to persuade Wendy to stay so she could remain close to grandson Harry, but Wendy admitted: “I know when I’m beaten.”
Before hitting the road, Wendy tried to atone for her recent actions, starting with ex-partner Bob Hope. Arriving unannounced at The Grange, she told Bob she’d come to say goodbye as she was going to stay with her son Luke for awhile.
A shocked Bob was still unable to forgive her for the news articles, but told her that he “doesn’t hate her”.
