According to reports, the decision came about as the broadcasters have had to make "budget cuts". A source allegedly told The Sun: "Susan was devastated at the decision. She loves the show and loves being part of it.
"She's really well liked in the cast but unfortunately budget cuts mean hard decisions need to be made and that resulted in Susan being one of a number of cast leaving."
They continued: "ITV is going through a cash crisis with the soaps and the money just isn't there to pay for everyone any more. Ultimately if the character isn't inspiring a lot of story from producers then there's no space for them in the show anymore.
Elsewhere on the ITV soap, Dean Andrews who plays the role of Will Taylor was axed in a grisly way, with his final scenes airing on Christmas Day (December 25).
In a desperate attempt to justify his actions, Will insisted he had abandoned his scheme out of genuine love for Kim. However, the stress of the situation proved too much, and he collapsed clutching his chest.
Meanwhile, Dean has previously discussed leaving the show, admitting that it would require a decision from the bosses for him to exit.
The actor confirmed his retirement plans following the end of his character Will's storyline on Emmerdale . He shared: "I feel very settled.
