There have been plenty of comings and goings in Emmerdale recently, with several more cast changes ahead.
In recent weeks we’ve bid farewell to Rachael Gill-Davis, who played Gail Loman.
Another departee was Paula Lane’s Ella Forster, who left the Dales in the back of a police car after just fifteen months onscreen.
Ella was accused of drugging Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), and later had an altercation with Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) in some woodland. After knocking him unconscious, the cops soon caught up with her.
In the coming months, more changes are afoot… so here’s the lowdown on who is returning, leaving and arriving in the ITV soap…
EMMERDALE CAST RETURNS
Robert Sugden
Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) is returning to Emmerdale, according to reports.
The character, who is hugely loved by fans, has been behind bars since 2019.
His love story with fellow villager Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) won the couple an army of fans and they became one of soap’s most loved couples of all time.
In a storyline packed with family drama, Robert will be on our screens next month, according to The Sun.
He is reportedly returning for Aaron’s wedding to John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), who is Robert’s brother.
