Emmerdale Al Chapman actor Michael Wildman had feeling 'things were coming to a head' before shock soap exit

Michael Wildman says it was the right time for his Emmerdale character Al Chapman to be killed off.

Al, played by the 52-year-old actor, was killed off in shocking scenes which aired earlier this month. He was gunned down by Cain Dingle’s young son Kyle. However, in a shock twist, viewers have seen Cain take the blame for the crime.
