Danny Miller leaves Emmerdale in arson storyline

Emmerdale star Danny Miller has announced that he will be leaving the soap next year.

The actor, who plays troubled Aaron Livesy on the ITV1 show, will bow out from his role in spring 2012.

Miller commented: "It has been an incredibly difficult decision but after three years playing Aaron and much soul-searching, I am eager to explore other roles.

"I am so grateful to Emmerdale for the opportunity that I have been given and have loved every moment. I will miss everyone enormously but this might not be the last we see of Aaron."

Emmerdale's series producer Stuart Blackburn added: "We completely respect Danny's decision and are very grateful for the hard work and commitment he has brought to his role as Aaron. We wish him all the best for the future and in the meantime there is still plenty more drama to come from Aaron well into 2012."

Aw that's a shame but not entirley surprised. I'm sure Danny has a big future ahead of him.

He's one of those actors - like the main girl in Twilight who never seems to actually say very much!

Very talented actor , should do well in the future , hope the writers leave the door ajar for him.

Shame he is a great actor but I guess he has done all he can with the character

Emmerdale,s Aaron Livesy (Danny Miller) will have "a real chance [of] happiness" in 2012, series producer Stuart Blackburn has revealed.

Viewers have been waiting for an end to Aaron's suffering following his struggle with his sexuality, his decision to help paraplegic boyfriend Jackson Walsh (Marc Silcock) commit suicide and a subsequent obsession with self-harming.

In a teaser video of the next year, Blackburn said that while there may still be hardship ahead for Jackson's mother Hazel (Pauline Quirke), Aaron will finally experience "a ray of sunshine" ahead of his departure from the village.

"Hazel and Aaron's [assisted suicide] story has been magnificent and what can I say about Danny Miller and Pauline Quirke? They are absolutely phenomenal," he said.

"I think Hazel is going to make the ultimate sacrifice. What we're going to see with Aaron is perhaps finally, a real ray of sunshine, a real chance for him to find happiness. It's whether he's got the courage to actually go for it and take it."

However, Blackburn also forecast a bleak 2012 for Aaron's relatives in the Dingle family, hinting that they will face their "biggest challenge" yet in the coming months.

So he gets a new fella so

Emmerdale star Danny Miller has revealed that the soap's team are still discussing how to write out his character Aaron Livesy.

Aaron will be leaving the village in the spring as Miller has decided to pursue new projects following his three-year stint with the show.

Speaking on Lorraine this morning, the 21-year-old actor confirmed that he has yet to receive exact details of Aaron's exit.

"They keep chopping and changing [it] - I think because they want to make it quite impactful and dramatic," Miller explained.

He continued: "I hope it's not leaving in the back of a cab, but there's great storyliners and a great team there."

Miller added that he is looking forward to attending new auditions once he has finished filming at Emmerdale.

"It's terrifying, because it's such a secure job, and to decide that you want to go out there to the big wide world is quite a scary feeling, really," he said. "But it's exciting as well."

Emmerdale continues at 7pm on ITV1.
