What has happened to Isabel Hodgins at Emmerdale?
Isabel and co-star Matthew Wolfenden reportedly clashed with Aaron Anthony (Ellis Chapman) during filming for Survival Week in September.
The Sun claims there was a verbal altercation over a comment. It’s also alleged there was mimicking of a mixed-race co-star’s accent.
The co-star has not been identified.
Reports suggest Matthew and Isabel haven’t been suspended. However neither has filmed since September.
A source told the publication: “It is common knowledge on set that Matthew and Isabel are not filming at the moment following a complaint.
“This all came about after a conversation between them and another actress – during which the alleged remark was made.
“An accusation was also made that the actress’s accent had been mimicked.”
What do Isabel Hodgins and Matthew Wolfenden say?
Neither actor has spoken out directly. However, according to the newspaper, Matthew, 41, and Isabel, 27, both categorically deny the allegations.
They have shared social media posts picturing them together. Their families spent Halloween together. And Matthew’s wife Charley Webb has also shared snaps with Isabel.
They are said to believe that there has been a misunderstanding.
The pair were written out of the show shortly after the incident.
What has Emmerdale said about the row?
ED! approached an Emmerdale spokeswoman for comment. However, they declined to add anything further.

Where are David and Victoria in Emmerdale?
David and Victoria’s absence was explained on-screen on Thursday, November 18. The couple have gone to Portugal for a family holiday.
It is likely they will be off screen until next year. As Emmerdale films so far in advance, scenes for 2022 are already being shot.
It is not known what is next for the couple on-screen. However, with murderous Meena Jutla out for revenge, it’s likely things won’t settled once they’re back.
For the time being, Meena has a new victim in her sights. After going on a date with Billy, she realises he might still like Dawn.
And then Meena’s caught out by Ben. So which one will she kill next?
