Emmerdale crew member's emotional goodbye following move to major rival soap


Emmerdale writer Jack Deslandes has opened up about his exit from the ITV soap after moving to EastEnders, where he has been working on a number of major storylines

An Emmerdale crew member has bid an emotional farewell to the Yorkshire Dales as they make the move to rival soap EastEnders.
