ANOTHER character is finishing a chapter in the Dales, ready for a fresh start.
Sadly, one Emmerdale resident will be struggling to part ways with them as they’ll wave an emotional goodbye to their adoptive family.
One character leaves the Dales next week
Marshall Hamston breaks things off with Arthur Thomas
How will Arthur cope?
Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy) spontaneously proposed to her long-term partner Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) in the Hide.
Unfortunately, the big news was soon overshadowed by family drama within the Sharma clan as Jai figured out he was adopted.
Despite this, the couple are adamant on getting their nuptials ready with Marshall Hamston (Max Fletcher) considered as part of the family.
The lad was taken in by Jai and Laurel after Arthur Thomas (Alfie Clarke) developed feelings for him and it was discovered he was under the thumb of an abusive and homophobic father.
Marshall and Alfie have been living under the same roof with Jai and Laurel giving them ground rules to abide by as they realised the youngsters were romantically involved.
But in a shocking twist airing next week on ITV, Marshall calls it quits with Arthur, leaving him broken-hearted.
He then proceeds to thank Laurel for all she has done for him in recent months.
Viewers of the Yorkshire-based program will remember that Laurel reached out to Marshall herself and brought him out of his father’s home, encouraging him to accept himself and his sexuality.
Marshall then gives Arthur an emotional last hug before turning away from the eponymous village with his aunt.
Laurel’s heart breaks for Arthur as he sobs in her arms after losing his first love.
But he doesn’t get much support from his stepsister Gabby (Rosie Bentham) as the latter complains about her own life.
Unlike Arthur, Gabby was involved in a one-sided relationship with Nicky Milligan who duped her into believing he was in love with her to get his hands on the Tate family fortune.
Infatuated with the former Home Farm nanny, Gabby was completely oblivious to the fact that Nicky was actually gay and in love with a man named Ally.
The truth was finally exposed in early June, 2023, the day of Gabby and Nicky’s wedding.
Since then, Gabby has struggled to make peace with Nicky, although she learned he was trapped in his father Caleb’s plans and manipulated into thinking he had no other choice but to comply.
But could Gabby have a change of heart?
Can she help Arthur recover from his heartbreak?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
