Emmerdale star Michael Wildman is reportedly quitting the ITV soap - amid a horror shooting storyline.
The actor - who has played Al Chapman on the programme for three years - is said to be exiting his role in the coming weeks in a bid to explore different acting opportunities. Multiple stars have exited - and returned - to the soap recently due to some huge storylines surrounding the soap's dramatic 50th anniversary with storms and drama galore.
The horror storm hit the village just days after matriarch Faith Dingle died amid her breast cancer battle, leaving her children Cain and Chas devastated. Elsewhere, Liv Flaherty died in horror scenes as she was crushed by a caravan in the storm, whilst Harriet Finch also died in a devastating quad bike fireball crash, leaving the whole village heartbroken.
