Maxwell Caulfield to leave 'Emmerdale'
Thursday, 5 November 2009
Maxwell Caulfield will leave Emmerdale in "unpredictable and explosive" scenes.
The 49-year-old television actor - who plays the bigamist Mark Wylde on the ITV soap - has taken the decision not to renew his contract, although his screen relatives will remain.
Maxwell said: "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."
Maxwell's character Mark Wylde arrived in the Dales with his wife Natasha (Amanda Donohoe) but then his first wife Faye (Kim Thomson) tracked him down, exposing him as a bigamist love rat.
Series producer Gavin Blyth 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."
Maxwell will finish filming in Leeds next month and will remain on screen until the second week of January.
