Yahoo News Emmerdale actress Isobel Steele earns praise as Liv Flaherty suffers scary seizure
On tonight's Emmerdale (August 28) Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) suffered a scary seizure in the middle of the cafe.
At the beginning of the episode, Liv told Robert Sudgen that she felt "a bit weird", but he accused her of just trying to get out of cleaning.

They then went to the cafe with Aaron and Cain, where they met Jacob. While Aaron, Robert and Cain had a private chat, Liv went to the counter with Jacob where she suffered the seizure.
While Aaron, Paddy, Cain and Marlon all rushed to help her, Robert froze, unable to move.
Liv was then taken to hospital, where she felt embarrassed about the people in the cafe seeing what had happened and just wanted to go home.
But Aaron was extremely worried about her and told a distracted Robert: "How am I going to let her out of my sight if this could happen at any time?"
Viewers were also extremely concerned with Liv and praised the performance of actress Isobel Steele, who plays her, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts:

Oh my God when Liv was just staring and not responding this brought back memories of how I suffered with epilepsy. I was fortunate that when I got into my 20s it just stopped one day, I hope @emmerdale handle this well #Emmerdale

Jacob also came to the hospital to see Liv and told her: "I've been an idiot I'm sorry, you've always been brilliant to me. I'll be a much better mate from now on."
Later, when Robert and Aaron returned home, Aaron confronted Robert about his strange and distant behaviour all day.
Robert confessed that his troubles were worse than he'd been letting on and he'd actually been charged with GBH with intent, which carries a possible life sentence.
Aaron told Robert he was sick of his lies and told him he didn't want Liv knowing about this, as it was just one more problem they both didn't need.
But will Aaron be able to forgive Robert and will they both come together to help Liv?
Emmerdale currently airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
