Max Caulfield to leave Emmerdale
It seems that Maxwell Caulfield, who plays bigamist Mark Wylde in Emmerdale is due to leave in the New Year, giving the show’s writers the chance to think up a really juicy ending for the character.
Max originally signed a 12 month contract and has decided not to renew it this year, although the rest of his on-screen family are believed to have renewed theirs.
Max told the PA, "I can't believe how fast my year in beautiful Yorkshire has flown by!
“But there was only so long Mark could keep those two women on the boil before he was the one getting burned!
“I'm confident the viewers will find this story gripping to the very end. Emmerdale is in great shape and I'll miss them all."
Gavin Blyth, the show’s producer, said, "The highly-anticipated departure of Mark Wylde has given us scope for a fantastic exit storyline over the winter months that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats…
"We could see history repeated and Mark ditch the dales for a brand new life. Or will he keep his promise and leave the village with ex-flame Faye?
“Perhaps a twist will ensue and Natasha will get her man for keeps, or could something far more sinister rid Mark of his demons forever?
"This is the final act to be played out for Mark Wylde and it’s guaranteed to be as unpredictable and explosive as when any major character leaves Emmerdale."
When asked how Emmerdale bosses felt about Max’s departure, Blyth said, "Maxwell has been a true asset to Emmerdale and a highly valued member of our cast.
“We are indebted to him for his passion and commitment to the show over the past year and he will be greatly missed by the production team and viewers alike."
We’ll see Mark/Max on our screens for the last time in the second week of January.
