We’ve seen characters Priya Sharma, played by Fiona Wade, and Marcus Dean, played by Darcy Grey, Naomi Walters, played by Karene Peters, all leave the village. There’s also been the much-publicised death of character Rishi Sharma. Heart reports an industry insider claiming those who earn over £200,000 a year in Emmerdale and fellow soaps Coronation Street and EastEnders might be chopped.“There is about to be a bloodbath across Corrie, Emmerdale and EastEnders — and it won’t be pretty,” confessed the TV insider. “All the big three have all been told they need to cut their wage bills by up to 25 per cent. Now there is panic in the green rooms about who could be facing the chop.
We recently reported some of Emmerdale’s top earners include Claire King, Chris Chittell, Emma Atkins and Jeff Hordley. Yet another Emmerdale high-profile exit is coming in the shape of Matthew Wolfenden saying goodbye to the village.Matthew, who plays David Metcalfe, explained: “I am so nervous about leaving, nearly 20 years, almost two decades. It feels like the right time.”
