Popular Emmerdale Star Set to Leave ITV Soap After 22 Years with 'Jaw-Dropping' Exit
Nick Miles’s character will die in a stunt-driven exit that brings Patsy Kensit back as Sadie King.
After 22 years on Emmerdale, Jimmy King will be 'killed off' in an explosive stunt later this year. Actor Nick Miles remains on set filming scenes until his autumn departure.
Writers decided to kill off the character because he 'wouldn't abandon his wife and children,' a source told the publication. The exit coincides with the return of ex-wife Sadie King.
Patsy Kensit is reprising her role as the 'iconic' Sadie, with producers confirming her return to the Yorkshire Dales later this year. Her comeback will be 'explosive and guaranteed to shock.'
The exit involves a 'jaw-dropping stunt' that will have a 'far-reaching impact on the village,' Radio Times reports. Scenes are expected to be spectacular, setting consequences in motion for many months.
Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw plans to expand the Tates and Sugdens families in the coming months. Shaw previously stated she wanted to 'build up some of the other families' to strengthen the show.
