Fans last saw Victoria (played by Isabel Hodgins) sharing a poignant moment with her older brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), and they set off away from Emmerdale for some brother-sister time just the two of them.
A heartbroken Robert was determined to support his little sister in any way he could, and it seems to have prompted some big changes as Victoria fights to get to grips with her trauma on the ITV soap.
When she returns, Victoria will be seen sporting a fresh new hairdo – a much shorter and striking pixie cut.
The character will also take a deep breath and confide in some more of her friends about what happened.
Among the list are Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano), Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), Ellis Chapman (Asan N’Jie) and Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock).
But while there will be plenty of difficult scenes ahead as more of the village learns the truth about Victoria’s horrific ordeal, actress Isabel is keen for a new friendship with Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry).
Viewers will remember mother-of-one Rhona suffered at the hands of her husband Pierce Harris (Jonathan Wrather) when he raped her in 2017.
It took months for Rhona to get justice against him and a tense court trial on the ITV soap, and Rhona will always struggle with the pain and torture she suffered.
Viewers have already been wondering if Victoria would turn to Rhona after she went through something similar, but so far the pair haven’t crossed paths.
In a new interview with Digital Spy, the actress addressed the possibility.
It would be nice to do some scenes with her

Asked whether there will be scenes between them ahead, Isabel said: “Not as of yet.
“I don’t know if that’s going to happen, because only a small amount of people in the village know and she’s not one of those people.
“But I love Zoe, so further down the line, it would be nice to do some scenes with her,” she shared.
What’s more, Isabel dropped yet another hint Victoria’s ex-husband and great love Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) could return to the Dales.
“That’s the dream,” she joked. “Everything I do is so that Adam will come back.
“If he came in and saved the day, that would be cracking!”
A pregnant Victoria will return to the village with Robert next week, and her first port of call will be to tell her family she plans to keep the baby.
Stunned by the decision, Robert struggles to swallow the prospect of his little sister raising her rapist’s child.
Tensions escalate between the family but Victoria has made up her mind she’s going to put all her focus into raising the innocent baby.
Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV.
