Exciting news for Emmerdale fans - Arthur Thomas is making a comeback! Actor Alfie Clarke has confirmed that he is back filming new scenes as the beloved character. Arthur has been absent for quite some time, missing out on some major events for his family.
Fans were puzzled by his disappearance, especially after his mom Laurel Thomas suffered a heart attack following an argument with her husband Jai Sharma. It seemed odd that Arthur would suddenly vanish without a trace during such a crucial time for his family. His last appearance was in March, shortly after the death of Heath Hope.
Fortunately, Emmerdale did provide a bit of an explanation through a comment about Arthur visiting his grandfather Doug Potts in Australia. Doug had moved there in 2020, so it made sense for Arthur to go and visit him. It seems that he has been staying in Australia for a while now.
Meanwhile, Laurel continues to deal with her heart attack and the aftermath of her marriage to Jai falling apart. In a recent episode, she was heard mentioning that Arthur was in Australia and there was plenty of room for her stepdaughter Gabby and her son Thomas to move back in with them. Laurel even mentioned that she could use another woman in the house.
Although Arthur's exit was not shown on-screen, Laurel and Gabby discussed the possibility of them living together again. But it looks like Arthur won't be away for long, as Alfie shared a photo of the iconic village on his Instagram, captioning it with the words "Good to be back." Fans were delighted by the news, with some even hoping that Arthur would bring his ex-boyfriend Marshall Hamston back with him.
Speaking of Marshall, viewers will remember that he ended up staying with the Thomas-Sharma family after coming out as gay and facing a negative reaction from his father. But when his aunt offered him a place to live in Formby, he decided to move away - leaving us all heartbroken for Arthur.
As for Laurel, she has enough on her plate with her marriage to Jai officially over. But with Arthur's return, perhaps things will start looking up for her.
