Who’s leaving Emmerdale in 2024? We know there will be one sad exit ahead after actor Steve Halliwell died last year. And reports now suggest Nicky Miligan and Suni Sharma will be leaving soon.
It’s also been rumoured that Nicky will convince Suni to move away from the Dales this summer. All the details, along with our round-up of who’s coming and going in 2024 below.
Who’s leaving Emmerdale in 2024?
As of June 2024 no cast exits have been officially announced. However, it’s been reported Nicky Miligan and Suni Sharma are leaving the soap for a fresh start.
Nicky recently managed to survive his and Ethan’s car accident after awaking from a coma.
However, after finding out that Ruby was responsible for Ethan’s hit and run, Nicky wants nothing to do with her.
Nicky will soon suggest moving away from the Dales with Suni in a bid to get away from his family.
According to reports made by The Sun, these scenes will spark the couple’s exit storyline as actors Lewis Cope and Brahmdeo Shannon Ramana have already been said to have filmed their final scenes.
A source told The Sun: “The feeling is that the characters weren’t given a fair shot.
“They’re hungry to hone their craft to show what they can do and don’t want to be used as glorified set dressing.”
But, will Nicky and Suni be leaving this summer?
Samson Dingle
It was rumoured Sam Hall would be leaving his role as Samson Dingle, which he has played since he was five years old, last month.
The Sun reported that Sam was informed that his character will be axed.
A source reportedly told the paper: “Sam had a meeting with bosses earlier this month where they broke the news.
“He has been left devastated. He’s grown up with his on-screen Dingle clan and they are all very protective of him.
“The fact that they are planning on killing him off means there’ll be no way back for him either.”
Emmerdale declined to comment on the matter. However Sam himself hinted to Inside Soap the rumours of an exit could be true. Although he did insist he was not being killed off.
“Well, I don’t want to give too much away, but Samson has some really big stuff coming up,” he said.
“Don’t worry, as he’s definitely not being killed off! There are some good stories coming up for him, and I was very excited when I read the scripts.”
So what does the future hold for Samson
Ethan Anderson
On Wednesday May 22 Ethan was run down by Ruby Fox-Miligan. Although he managed to get himself up and refused to go to hospital.
A week later, Ethan collapsed onto the floor whilst at home with Charles ahead of his court trial for Nicky’s car accident.
As Charles and Manpreet desperately tried to resuscitate him, an unconscious Ethan was rushed to hospital but couldn’t be saved.
Ruby was left feeling guilty as she believed that Ethan died due to her hit and run as she watched Charles grieve the loss of his son.
Who else has left Emmerdale in 2024
Two other characters have departed the Dales this year – Heath Hope and Amit Sharma.
Bob Hope’s son, Heath, was confirmed dead just minutes into the New Year’s Day episode as he was involved in a car smash.
Despite all attempts to save an injured Heath from the wreckage, it was clear that he had died on impact and couldn’t be brought back to life.
These tragic scenes marked the departure of Sebastian Dowling from the soap, after having played the role of Heath for 17 years alongside his real-life twin sister and Cathy Hope actress, Gabrielle Dowling.
Heath’s death turned his family’s world upside down. But, can they all support each other through their unimaginable grief?
