Emmerdale stars Sian Reese-Williams and Rik Makarem have praised their characters' upcoming exit storylines, telling Digital Spy that the Gennie and Nikhil journey gets a "fitting" ending.
Gennie looks set to leave the soap with a bang as she has a terrifying car crash this week, while her husband Nikhil is also bowing out in the near future.
Speaking to DS, Reese-Williams explained: "[The Gennie and Nikhil fans have] obviously been very upset, but I think it's a really exciting ending. It's not off in a cab in the middle of an episode. I think it'll give them maybe not what they want, but it will at least be a fitting, exciting ending."
Makarem added: "What we've got is good, solid story. The whole team have put their heart and soul into telling it."
The actors also chatted to us about being part of the popular 'Genhil' pairing and their gratitude to fans who have supported them.
Emmerdale airs Gennie's dramatic crash story tomorrow (July 25) at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.

Emmerdale star Sian Reese-Williams has told Digital Spy that she supports the decision to kill off her character Gennie Sharma.
Tonight's (July 25) dramatic double bill saw Gennie become the third victim of killer Cameron Murray as he murdered her following her terrifying car accident.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the door not being left open for a return, the actress admitted: "When they suggested it to me at first, it made it scarier, but I never changed my mind. I knew that it was the right thing for me… I'm so glad that it has this way because for me, it propels you forward and you can't look back."
Our video also sees Sian reveal all the gossip on filming the car crash stunt and her emotional final days on set.
Additionally, she told us about auditioning for new roles and whether she would ever combine her love for singing and acting by starring in a musical.
Reese-Williams announced her decision to leave Emmerdale in May after five years playing Gennie.
Gennie's husband Nikhil (Rik Makarem) is also bowing out, but will remain on screen for a few more weeks with an interesting journey ahead for the character following his wife's death.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
