Georgina Castle is currently appearing alongside Emmerdale legend Matthew Wolfenden in Elf The Musical following his soap exit.
Earlier this year, Matthew revealed that he would be leaving his role as shopkeeper David Metcalfe after 17 years.
Now, he's set to shut up shop as he leaves the village this week (Thursday, November 30) after he makes the heartbreaking discovery that his stepson Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) has been secretly dating his ex-girlfriend Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins).
David had been holding out hope that he might get back together with his ex Victoria, unaware of Jacob and Victoria's romance that was going on under his nose.
But after he finds out about their betrayal, he decides to bid an emotional goodbye to his family and leave the Dales for good.
David is also yet to make another devastating discovery about his dad Eric Pollard's (Chris Chittell) Parkinson's diagnosis, who has been keeping it a secret from his son.
Matthew has since landed a new role as Buddy in Elf The Musical, with Georgina Castle playing his love interest Jovie.
