An Emmerdale star involved in a major storyline has confirmed he has filmed his final scenes on social media.

Geoff Dignan, who plays Aidan Moore, has seen his character suffer at the hands of villain John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) in recent weeks.

Fans were left shocked as John, who was previously engaged to Aidan, visited him at hospital and told him how he planned to kill him.

Aidan woke from his coma to hear John, and the stress caused him to suffer a cardiac arrest and go back into a coma.

Although he didn't die, fans were left wondering if his days in the Dales were numbered.

 

Now, Geoff has confirmed it's the end of Aidan's story - for now.

Taking to his X account, the actor shared screenshots of his scenes from last week, along with the caption: "I had an absolute blast playing Aidan Moore in Emmerdale.

"I've met great people from the crew to the very talented cast. Thank you to my agent @StarkTalentUK."

However, Geoff teased that the character could maybe be back in the future, as he added: "Who knows what's in store 4 Aidan, after all it's Emmerdale, he's woken up once... why not one more time."

It was revealed earlier this week that the actress who plays Tracy, Amy Walsh, would be leaving the soap after more than 10 years.

Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm, with an early release on ITVX at 7am.
