why did they even bother getting rid of John , just to replace him with mini me Adam..
Emmerdale's Danny Miller has revealed that the spoof Tinie Tempah video made by his castmates made him cry.
The actor, who has quit his role as Aaron Livesy in the soap after five years, said that he was "absolutely amazed" that co-stars such as Adam Thomas and Kelvin Fletcher went to such an effort to give him a good send-off by making a funny version of the rapper's song 'Written in the Stars'.
Miller told the Manchester Evening News: "Obviously I'd been to Emmerdale leaving dos before, and I knew they always like to spring surprises. I saw them put a TV up, but I honestly had absolutely no idea what they'd been up to. They started telling me that they'd spoken to my girlfriend and asked what my favourite song was.
"They played the video and I recognised the music, but I didn't recognise the start of the video, and then it clicked. It was just unbelievable to think that they'd all gone to so much effort to film the whole thing - I didn't have a clue. And then I couldn't stop crying! I was absolutely amazed by it."
The video shows Thomas, who plays Adam Barton, rapping the start of the Tinie Tempah song in a garage.
Fletcher, who plays Andy Sugden, can also be seen playing the keyboard wearing a curly wig, boxer shorts and Ugg boots.
Miller said: "With Kelvin, when we used to go to the gym together, we'd take the mickey out of him because he'd pop up in the changing room with hardly any clothes on, so I think that was where the joke came from in the video. And the Ugg boots - [it's] because we both wear those too."
He admitted that it will be "nice to be able to take a break" from Emmerdale, but said that he is "already missing the guys" and felt emotional on his last day.
DANNY MILLER's tears were real when he filmed his final Emmerdale scenes – because he is going to miss his co-stars so much.
The award-winning actor joined the soap as tortured gay teen Aaron Livesy when he was 17 and feels like he grew up there.
But seven years on he admits there is one thing he won't miss — kissing men.
Danny said: "Romantic scenes are embarrassing, especially when you're only 17, but you just have to get on with it. I didn't have to kiss anyone for the first six months but then it was Victoria Sugden I kissed first.
"You just have to prepare yourself for it and forget people are watching.
"I won't miss kissing blokes. I haven't got a problem with it but I don't think I'll be reminiscing!"
But the storylines have had their plus points, Danny admitted, as they never made his real-life girlfriend — former Emmerdale star Kirsty-Leigh Porter — jealous.
He said: "Kirsty has never got jealous because I've been kissing lads for three years. Though that could all change now. But because she's an actress she's understanding."

But things could change when Kirsty hears who Danny's dream leading lady is — and it isn't her.
He said: "It would be Angelina Jolie I think. It might be too weird working with Kirsty again!"
Fans of the soap will see Aaron's last appearance on Thursday, April 5.
And he says they were the most emotional scenes he has ever filmed.
He told TV Biz: "On my final day it was very teary-eyed because the others set me off.
"It's the realisation it's the last scene you're going to do there. The tears in the final scenes are real tears. You can't hold it back. The realisation I was leaving just kicked in.
"I'll miss everyone — there is not one bad person on Emmerdale's cast or crew. I'll miss Kelvin Fletcher, who plays Andy Sugden, and Adam Thomas, who plays Adam Barton, a lot."
Aaron's storylines have touched upon violence, homophobia, euthanasia and even self-harm.

So Danny took up running to cope with the stress.
He said: "Aaron has had an emotional rollercoaster. I have to go running and burn off the emotion at the end of the day. You have to leave the building and leave the emotion there.
"Crying from Monday to Friday can get draining but you have to learn to leave it behind. You have to go and get rid of it by having a run."
The hardest time on Emmerdale for Danny was when producer Gavin Blyth passed away in November 2010. He died in a matter of weeks after being diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer.
Danny said: "Gavin's death hit everyone very hard. It was such a shock.
"He got cancer then a month and a bit later he just died.
"He was like a father figure for me. I looked up to him and he helped me play the great storylines. He nurtured me. He was a very talented young man. He was there 24/7 for me.
"He stood by his word and he stood by me and said he'd support me and he did. We all miss him so much."
Leaving Emmerdale was a tough decision for Danny but now he wants to get into more dramas.

He said: "It was hard leaving. I could have stayed there for ever but I want to branch out.
"I love Sherlock — I'm the biggest fan of Benedict Cumberbatch. He's unbelievable. Gritty roles like Dominic West's as serial killer Fred West in Appropriate Adult would be a dream come true."
Working on soaps is notoriously hard work and Danny is excited about the idea of spending more time on scenes and developing his acting.
He said: "The likes of Pauline Quirke and people who've been in dramas — they come in and they don't know how we do it, 16 scenes a day.
"You've got ten hours to do all those scenes. It's a massive reality check. You don't have six hours to spend on a scene."
"It annoys me when people are snobby about soaps. People come up to me and say, 'I don't watch it and its sh*t.'
"It's pretty disrespectful because that's my job. It's something we do day in, day out, week in week out, not like a film.
Before Danny auditions for any new roles he plans to get his driving licence.
He said: "It's ironic. I play a mechanic but I've been too busy to learn to drive."
But down whichever road his career takes him, Danny is thrilled to have been part of Emmerdale.
He said: "The years have flown by. But they do say time flies when you're having fun."
Emmerdale's Danny Miller has admitted he's feeling a little trepidation about leaving the soap.
The actor, 21, who joined the Dales as troubled gay teenager Aaron Livesy three-and-a-half years ago, leaves Emmerdale this week.
He told TV Times: "I'm realy nervous about getting out in the big wide world. When I made the decision to go, I hadn't really thought about what would happen afterwards.
"I don't have anything lined up and it's quite daunting."
He told the mag he was delighted with his exit storyline.
"I didn't want a big dramatic exit and I didn't want to die. What they've come up with really does the last few years justice," he said.
"It's emotional, it's heart-warming and it's positive."
Danny Miller has revealed that Emmerdale bosses have assured him he can one day return to the soap's cast.
His character Aaron Livesy will leave the village in an emotional double-bill next Thursday.
However the actor, who announced his decision to depart ITV's rural serial in November, told What's on TV that Aaron may reappear in Emmerdale.
"When I told them at Emmerdale, they were so supportive of me and said they would leave the door open," he explained. "I am really going to miss this place."
Meanwhile, Miller admitted that he is worried about whether he will be able to pursue other acting roles, adding: "I am really nervous about getting out in the big wide world.
"When I made the decision to go, I hadn't really thought about what would happen afterwards.
"I don't have anything lined up and it's really quite daunting. It was such a hard decision to make."
This is the moment when, alone at the Emmerdale cricket pavilion, Aaron makes the biggest decision of his life. He has to choose between facing court to take the rap for best friend Adam, or fleeing with new man Ed.
With the police getting closer to the truth about the garage fire, it’s Aaron’s selfless decision to confess that will guarantee the Bartons a future as a family. But the choice will have huge consequences for Aaron and his loved ones as he faces the prospect of leaving the village…
“The way Aaron sees it, Adam has made one mistake, whereas he has made hundreds,” says actor Danny Miller, who leaves Emmerdale this week. “Every time, Aaron has managed to get off and escape jail. He thinks it’s time to pay for his mistakes and let Adam get off.”
Inside Soap Magazine
Emmerdale star Danny Miller has admitted that he is still adjusting to life after soap.
The actor filmed his final scenes as Aaron Livesy a month ago after four years in the role. Viewers will see the troubled character's exit episodes tonight (April 5).
Miller told This Morning today: "It's a weird feeling! I still say it hasn't sunk in yet. I still feel as if I need to be in [work] tomorrow at 7am.
"It was my decision. I had four years of such an amazing time, meeting amazing people - cast and crew. I love them all to bits and I was given so many good storylines. They trusted me so much on a big show at a young age.
"I just thought that I'd like to go and try other stuff before I get comfortable, because it's easy to get comfortable."
Aaron's final storyline has seen him desperately trying to protect best friend Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) by taking the blame for the fire he started at the garage.
Miller commented: "Tonight's two episodes is just basically Aaron moving on away from the village. But how does he? Does he go away to prison because he's due up in court, does he do a runner with Ed, or does he just run off into the middle of nowhere on his own? There's so many different ways he might go.
"Over the past four years, all you've seen is Aaron up in court, hurting people, upsetting people and getting away with it. Adam [has made] one drastic decision that could leave his life hanging in the balance, which might be prison.
"I think Aaron just wants to say, 'You're my best mate and it's about time that I stuck up for myself and for you. I'll take the rap for it, and you can start a new life as well as I can'. It's more about him growing up."
Emmerdale airs Aaron's exit tonight at 7pm and 8pm on ITV1.
oh if only justice prevails and plod actually get it right and send Adam to prison!!!!
no more of his one facial expression (trapped wind!!) and his one emotional phrase ('oh...what!!??')
