According to reports, Sam Hall, known for his role as Samson Dingle on Emmerdale, is set to be written off the show after 15 years. The 20-year-old actor has been a part of the soap since he was just five years old, but it seems his character will now meet a tragic end.
Sources reveal that Sam recently had a meeting with the show's bosses where they broke the news to him. Needless to say, he was devastated. Having grown up with his on-screen Dingle family, Sam is understandably very close to them and they are all fiercely protective of him. In fact, some of the cast even went to talk to the bosses about the decision, showing just how much they care for him.
As news of his departure spread through the building, many of the Dingle clan were reportedly angry. The insider shared, "The fact that they are planning on killing him off means there'll be no way back for him either. He's absolutely gutted."
It's heartwarming to hear that Sam's on-screen dad, James Hooton, who plays Sam Dingle, is one of the many rallying around to support him. Sam took on the role of Samson in 2009, following in the footsteps of fellow child actor Charlie Pell. In addition to his recurring role on Emmerdale, he also starred in the one-off special, The Dingles – For Richer For Poorer.
In recent episodes, Sam's character has been involved in some difficult storylines, including becoming a teen dad. In an interview, Sam shared his excitement for young people taking center stage in the soap, stating, "I think it's great to give the teenagers these storylines as it gives us a chance to film something different and show the younger people in the village." He also expressed his love for the scenes where his character gets up to no good, adding, "I would be friends with Samson in real life because deep down he is a good lad!"
Sam also mentioned his gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of bigger storylines as his character grows older. "I've enjoyed every minute of working there and look forward to the rest," he said. "I love being a Dingle, I couldn't ask for anything better. It's great every time I get to film with the family. In fact, after filming with them for so many years, it doesn't feel like work at all."
