Emmerdale has today announced one of the programmes leading characters is set to leave the show with a sensational storyline which will kick off an explosive New Year in the Dales.
Acclaimed actor, Maxwell Caulfield joined Emmerdale for a 12 month stint last October and in the knowledge that he’d committed to the role for this length of time the Emmerdale writing team have created a highly dramatic exit for his character. Consequently, Maxwell’s departure paves the way for a gripping climax to love-rat Mark Wylde’s reign in the dales, as he finds himself caught in a web of twisted deceit.

As we all know by now, in Emmerdale, it turns out that Debbie’s lover Michael should be getting married to her mum, Charity.
Now, as glad as I’ll be to see Emma Atkins back as the brilliantly feisty and streetwise Charity, isn’t it stretching belief just a tad to have such a giant coincidence as a storyline?
It’s a good one, I’m not disputing that, but in terms of what makes a soap tick – that is, our ability to relate to and believe in the plots and characters – is it really likely that this would ever happen? Read more & comment »

In the pub later, Maisie comments on Leyla’s shoes and when Nathan overhears her telling Leyla £250 is a bargain for them, he realises she’s responsible for the missing money.
