Matthew Wolfenden leaves Emmerdale
Actor Matthew left Emmerdale last year after 17 years. Rumours first emerged David would make his exit in August 2023. However Matthew himself finally confirmed it in October. He took to the This Morning sofa to speak about his departure from the soap.
Matthew broke down in tears sharing: “The door’s left open, they’re not killing me off, I’ve been promised.”
David’s on-screen exit saw him discover stepson Jacob was in a relationship with his former love Victoria Sugden. Unable to stand the betrayal, David left to spend some time in London with ex Priya and their daughter Amba. It was then revealed earlier this year he would not be returning.
