There is a lot of shake-up happening in Emmerdale as of late and it looks like there are even more changes to come in the near future. Fans have already seen the departure of beloved characters like Amelia Spencer and the shocking death of Will Taylor. However, there have also been some exciting returns, with Joe Tate making his way back to Home Farm. But the village is not done with changes just yet, as there are more faces set to say goodbye in the coming weeks. Let's take a closer look at who's leaving, returning, and joining the cast of Emmerdale.
One of the most highly-anticipated comebacks is that of April Windsor, who has been missing since Christmas Day. Her family has been in shambles trying to find her, but some viewers saw her getting into a car and driving off. Everyone is hoping for her safe return to the Dales, but nothing has been confirmed yet. We will just have to wait and see when April makes her way back.
Sadly, there are also some departures to look out for in Emmerdale. Leyla Harding, who has been a staple in the village since 2008, is set to meet a dramatic end. Actress Roxy Shahidi has decided to bid farewell to the show, and reports suggest that her character will be killed off in a bombshell storyline. It seems like Roxy is thrilled to have such a powerful exit and to be remembered for her time on the show. Leyla's exit is said to involve a car accident, and she may not be the only one involved.
Wendy Posner is also leaving the village, with actress Susan Cookson having already filmed her final scenes. She has been a part of other popular shows like Casualty, Doctors, and Coronation Street, and is said to be devastated by the decision to let her go. It seems that budget cuts have led to some tough decisions, and unfortunately, Wendy's character is one of the casualties. However, there is hope that she may return in the future to see her grandson Harry.
The current regular cast of Emmerdale includes some familiar faces such as Chris Chittell as Eric Pollard, Claire King as Kim Tate, and Jeff Hordley as Cain Dingle. But there are also some newer additions like Amanda Flanagan as April Windsor, Charlie Munro Joyce as Carl Holliday, and Bella James as Eve Dingle. These characters and more will continue to bring drama, laughter, and everything in between to the show.
And as the list of exits grows, we must also say goodbye to the likes of Brenda Walker, who has been a part of the show for 16 years. There are rumors that she may be involved in the car accident that kills off Leyla, but nothing has been confirmed yet. It will be interesting to see how her character's story wraps up and if she will leave the village unscathed or meet a tragic end.
Joining the list of exits is Ella Forster, played by Paula Lane, who announced her departure from the show on her Spotlight page. Her character will be leaving in the spring of 2025, although the details of her exit are still a mystery. This just goes to show that there are always surprises and twists in store for the residents of Emmerdale.
As we eagerly anticipate the upcoming changes in the show, let us not forget to tune in to Emmerdale weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1 and from 7am on ITVX. Keep an eye out for any updates on the cast and their characters, as anything can happen in the world of Emmerdale.
