Emmerdale star Eden Taylor-Draper has shared a brief message after it was revealed that co-star Michael Wildman had bowed out of the ITV soap. The Al Chapman actor was seen lying lifeless after being shot following a final confrontation with long-standing enemy Cain Dingle.
Cain lured Al to a barn after discovering his affair with his sister, Chas. The Emmerdale favourite, played by Jeff Hordley, appeared suspicious of why his nephew, Aaron, was making a swift exit from the village despite laying his little sister, Liv, to rest just hours earlier.
But while in the back of the Woolpack during his mother, Faith's, wake, Cain discovered the truth about Chas and Al when he found Chas' secret phone ringing. Finding the device, he found text exchanges between the pair, confirming their affair behind Kerry and Paddy's backs and as he called the number, he heard Al's voice on the other end.
