Who is Adam that is leaving?

Adam Barton ,supposed to be leaving late autumn, not saying he is the murder victim ,only one of the cast known to be going. I also hope it's not Cain would be disasterville .

Debbie's baby must be due very soon, so for her to want the birth induced Sarah's condition must be very critical, so perhaps Sarah doesn't survive, and it's this that "moves people" and results in a murder, particularly if it's going to be a "who dunnit", and we know they can drag on for months with so many suspects ? By the way Sarah c what transplant is being referred to ,would a new born be able to survive such a procedure even if it's bone marrow ?

they would really struggle to get any bone marrow from a new born baby, so I think we must be looking at cord blood for the transplant?

Emmerdale legend John Middleton has admitted that he is anxious about the soap's 40th anniversary live episode.

Middleton's character Ashley Thomas, who has recently suffered turmoil as a result of his marriage break-up, is expected to play a part in the rural serial's birthday week next month.

The actor told Inside Soap: "As you know, we're doing a live episode, and we're approaching it with trepidation!

"If anything goes wrong on set these days, people just turn round and go, 'I've got two words for you - live episode!'

"We don't know what's going to happen, but we've had various hints. It's terribly exciting."

Middleton's co-stars Sammy Winward (Katie Sugden) and Lucy Pargeter (Chas Dingle) have already expressed their fear over the live special.

Winward is particularly worried that she will burst into uncontrolled laughter during her on-screen wedding with Jason Merrells (Declan Macey).

Blackburn explained that he wants the identity of the character in question to be kept as a complete surprise for fans on the night.

Blackburn commented: "It's not about being coy or wanting to play any games. As a viewer of soaps and drama, I hate it when I stumble across a spoiler and realise what's going to happen.

"With this episode, if we can have just one surprise - just once a decade - that would be fantastic. Teasers are great, spoilers I personally abhor."

Discussing the planned impact of the death, he continued: "I think it will move people. It will change our characters' lives for a long, long time and then drive the show forward with new stories for the coming months."

Meanwhile, executive producer John Whiston hinted that there could also be a sense of justice, as the doomed character "had it coming".

So who has it coming - Cameron, Cain, Zak, Robbie, Carl, Ashley anyone else?

Does anyone know if Adam Thomas is leaving the show? I noticed he hasn't had much of a storyline in months.

[Perdita]

Not that I am aware of. All characters have more quiet stroylines before getting more involved again, I presume most characters will be seen again in this anniversary storyline and then again for Christmas

I kinda thought he was being paired with Victoria

well if the storyline doesnt involve copping off with someone, or moaning about how hard farm work is, he isnt involved. Maybe thats why Victoria and Alex finished - give Adam something to do now she's free?
