There have been plenty of comings and goings in Emmerdale recently, with several more cast changes ahead.
Fans were shocked to see a number of favourites depart in a chaotic stunt week last month, when a limousine plummeted into an icy lake.
Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) died in the collision, whilst both Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson) perished in the aftermath.
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 DEPARTURES
Brenda Walker
Joining the list of exits is Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop), who is leaving the show after 16 years.
There has been speculation that she may also be involved in the car accident that is set to kill Leyla, though nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Will her exit see her walk away from the village unscathed, or could she too be set to meet her maker?

Ella Forster
Paula Lane recently announced her exit from her role as Ella Forster in the ITV soap on her Spotlight page, after just a year on the show.
Part of the description on the page reads: ‘Currently appearing as series regular Ella in Emmerdale ITV filming until February 2025.’
This means that her exit from the show will likely air in Spring 2025, though the circumstances surrounding it are as yet unknown.

Gail Loman
Rachael Gill-Davis is reportedly set to leave two years after joining the ITV soap as a full time cast member and six years after her debut.
Woolpack barmaid Gail first appeared on our screens back in 2019 when she was introduced as an old friend of Ryan Stocks (James Moore).
‘Rachael has loved her time on the show but it’s time to go,’ a source told The Sun.
‘Bosses felt the character wasn’t inspiring much story and so it was all very amicable. The door has been left open but it’s a definite goodbye for now.
‘Rachael is looking forward to spreading her wings and showing off her talents on other shows.’

EMMERDALE CAST ARRIVALS
Kammy
Bad boy Kammy, played by newcomer Shebz Miah, will arrive on our screens next week.
He starts as he means to go on by getting on the wrong side of the Dingles and stealing a quad bike from Moira’s farm.
Instantly, he piques the interest of Sarah, who finds herself drawn to his dangerous and mischevious way of life.
The finger of blame for the theft of the bike lands on Ross Barton (Michael Parr), and when he seems to have rumbled Kammy, whose side will Sarah take?
When is Kammy joining Emmerdale? Tuesday 18th March
