Emmerdale star Emile John has shared a new goodbye message following his exit as Ethan Anderson this week.
The character was killed off in tragic scenes that aired on Tuesday night (May 28), with Ethan collapsing as he prepared for his sentencing hearing over the recent Nicky Miligan car crash.
Father Charles later realised that his son’s death may be connected to Ruby Miligan’s recent hit-and-run against Ethan.
After speaking in a video message in the immediate aftermath of the emotional scenes, Emile has now shared a new post, admitting he feels “extremely privileged to have entered this industry working on such an iconic show”.
“After three years, Ethan’s journey on Emmerdale has come to an end!” the star wrote alongside a series of behind-the-scenes pictures from his three-year stint on the soap.
“I feel extremely privileged to have entered this industry working on such an Iconic show. I honestly had the time of my life!
“Sharing the space with such talented folk on and off screen for the last few years has been a huge honour and an experience that’ll stay with me always.
“Huge thank you to those of you who have been invested in any of my storylines throughout my time on the show, seeing your reactions and opening important conversations have made it all the more worth it! With Love, Ethan Out,” Emile concluded.
The star has since received a host of support from co-stars in the comments, with on-screen dad Kevin Mathurin (Charles) writing: “It has been bittersweet as our best work together was your curtain call. You killed it, bro. I’m so proud of you. All the best for your future.”
Rebecca Sarker (Manpreet Sharma) added: “E! Miss you already. Thank you for the laughs and the ‘haa hoos’ Go forth and be brilliant xx,” while Olivia Bromley (Dawn Taylor) said: “Onwards!!”
