Both very hard hitting stories, what do you think? Can a soap handle this? John Middleton is leaving Emmerdale.

I think so, poor Ashley ain't half been through a lot in recent years. There was a time he was no more than a secondary character who hung around offering advice to everyone...

You could have left the EXIT part out of the title of the thread, that is a huge spoiler right there.

At least he won't be going until 'the end of next year', according to Sh*tesquawk.

Actors leaving isn't generally seen as a spoiler.

And that excuses you putting a massive spoiler in your thread title how?

I don't see why not, it's as big a spoiler as any other i think. It means that you know that the character they are playing is either going to die or move away.

Maybe avoid the forums then?

The actor may have 14 odd months left on his contract.

Oh for christ's sake. The trolls are out in force tonight.

Should I avoid going out in case a stranger shouts a spoiler at me from across the street?

Should I stay in my bedroom in case the window cleaner decided to tell me the latest spoilers?

Don't be ridiculous, and take responsibility for your own bloody mistakes. I don't mind spoilers, but some people don't want to know. Respect that.

Like others have said, that makes no difference. This isn't Soapsqwauk, those places are all about spoiling things, it's why i avoid them. There are spoiler tags on here for a reason. If people choose to open the spoiler, then they can't have any complaints, but you never gave us that option.

Soap exits are publicly announced by the soap all the time. Those type of announcements are generally not written in tags on the forum. I can't remember any outrage over this before and loads of exits have been discussed openly here.

We've seen soaps trail "Who Killed ...?" storylines before any exit has happened. Is that a spoiler too?

I know exits aren't spoilers, but I do wish the soaps wouldn't announce who was leaving and when etc it takes away the suspense. I never get invested in their storylines once the announcement is made.

Exactly.

Val Pollard.
Ross Barton.
Ruby Haswell.
Freddie Roscoe.

Just to name a few in recent months.

Was it not obvious he would be leaving? His character is about to be diagnosed with dementia.
