Emma's storylines are still on screen until next year, although I suspect that all these changes behind the screen were before Emma's departure was announced and have led to last minute changes or reshoots etc.

C4 definitely put pressure on Lime Pictures to improve Hollyoaks because they like the viewers want the show to improve and as it's longest running soap it shows another sign of faith from Channel 4 in Hollyoaks.
