Sebastian Dowling shows off transformation one year after Emmerdale exit

Sebastian Dowling, who played Heath Hope on Emmerdale, has undergone a significant transformation since his character's death in a car crash last year. The actor, now 18, has cut his long blond hair and grown facial hair. Heath's death was a major storyline, leading to Angelica King being convicted of dangerous driving. A year later, Heath remains a topic on the show, with his father Bob Hope planning a memorial concert in his honor. Sebastian and his twin sister Gabrielle, who played Cathy, recently celebrated their 18th birthday with co-stars. Sebastian thanked Emmerdale for his time on the show in a social media post after his exit.
