Actor Liam O’Brien, who plays curate Ethan Blake, is leaving Emmerdale!
The curate is filming his final scenes in the soap and will leave our screens at the end of October.
“I’ve had a great time working on Emmerdale,” he told Inside Soap. “It’s been a great opportunity and I’ve made a lot of friends who I’ll miss working with on a daily basis.
“But I’m very much looking forward to the next challenge.”
Ethan was only supposed to be in the show for a few months, but he was received so well by viewers that producers extended his contract.
According to series producer Kath Beedles, Ethan’s departure will not be a quiet one.
“Ethan will leave in a dramatic storyline in October, but there is a possibility that the character will return at a later date,” she said.
While Emmerdale is giving nothing away, it is probably safe to bet that Ethan’s ever-growing crush on Laurel Potts will feature prominently in his exit scenes!
