Is David Metcalfe leaving ITV's Emmerdale for good?

Matthew Wolfenden who plays David Metcalfe has reportedly “quit” the ITV soap after 17 years, since joining the show in 2006.

The 43-year-old supposedly decided to exit the role due to “not getting any gritty storylines recently" but what could happen to his character?

Although nothing is yet to be confirmed by the actor or Emmerdale, a TV source told The Sun: “Matthew has had an amazing time on the soap, but feels ready for a change.

“He hasn’t been getting any gritty storylines recently so wants to see what else is out there.”

The source continued to say: "He’s a fan favourite so will get a lot of support in whatever he decides to do next. He’s very excited about the opportunities available.

“He’s only just announced he is leaving so scriptwriters are working out his on-screen exit. It’s possible David could be killed off."

It’s thought normal schedules for Coronation Street and Emmerdale will resume on Monday, September 11.
