Emmerdale aired an exit for one character on the ITV soap on Thursday, but the departure plan was kept secret from several villagers
Emmerdale aired an emotional exit on the ITV soap on Thursday night, and one that several villagers did not see coming. The exit decision had been kept under wraps from residents until moments before the character in question made his departure.
Arthur Thomas’ love interest and fellow teen Marshall Hamston decided to move away with his aunt and her family for a fresh start. Having agreed with his aunt that it would be for the best, he failed to tell boyfriend Arthur or his family who he had been staying with for months.
Eventually Marshall confided in Arthur’s stepfather Jai Sharma, sharing he wanted to live with his aunt and that he no longer wanted to be with Arthur. When he told him the news, Arthur broke down in tears, clearly heartbroken.
Arthur’s mother Laurel also found out and waved Marshall off, gutted to see him go. She, Jai and Arthur all said their goodbyes, in shock that he was going and so soon.
