Emmerdale airs a sad goodbye next week, as a popular character leaves the ITV soap seemingly for good. It leads to emotional scenes as residents wave them off.
Marshall Hamston exits the village after a tough few months, leaving his love interest Arthur Thomas devastated. After Arthur revealed to his loved ones that he was gay in scenes that aired last year, he soon found himself helping his friend with his own sexuality.
What initially appeared to be Marshall pranking Arthur turned out to be something very different, with Marshall struggling to come to terms with himself being gay.
