Emmerdale's Geoff Dignan has filmed his final soap scenes
Geoff Dignan, who plays Aidan Moore, has seen his character suffer at the hands of villain John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) in recent weeks.
Fans were left shocked as John, who was previously engaged to Aidan, visited him at hospital and told him how he planned to kill him.
Aidan woke from his coma to hear John, and the stress caused him to suffer a cardiac arrest and go back into a coma.
Although he didn't die, fans were left wondering if his days in the Dales were numbered.

Now, Geoff has confirmed it's the end of Aidan's story - for now.
Taking to his X account, the actor shared screenshots of his scenes from last week, along with the caption: "I had an absolute blast playing Aidan Moore in Emmerdale.
"I've met great people from the crew to the very talented cast. Thank you to my agent @StarkTalentUK."
However, Geoff teased that the character could maybe be back in the future, as he added: "Who knows what's in store 4 Aidan, after all it's Emmerdale, he's woken up once... why not one more time."
John's secrets continue to be unearthed next week, but will he get the comeuppance he deserves?
Tensions explode as everyone speculates over Nate Robinson's murder, as Cain and Tracy are thrust into the spotlight, according to Digital Spy.

John takes his turn down at the police station, answering questions about the day that Nate disappeared, but it's a fine line between revealing that he did it and putting Cain in the frame.
It was revealed earlier this week that the actress who plays Tracy, Amy Walsh, would be leaving the soap after more than 10 years.
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm, with an early release on ITVX at 7am.

Nick Knowles' wild love life as he marries fianceé 27-years his junior today
Nick Knowles is set to wed his 33-year-old fiancée Katie Dadzie today after he popped the question last year, but the DIY SOS presenter has a chequered romantic history Nick Knowles, known for his turbulent love life over the years, is set to tie the knot to his match in Katie Dadzie, a 34-year-old businesswoman and mother of two. Despite their 27-year age difference, the former I'm A Me Out Of Here! star, who first met Katie in 2019, are smitten, and they're set to say their 'I do's' today. The 62-year-old, who is renowned for his romantic escapades as he is for his presenting prowess on BBC's DIY SOS, proposed to Katie in July 2024 when the pair had been an item for nearly three years, having initially got together in 2021. The couple are due to tie the knot today in a lavish six-figure ceremony in Essex. Their paths first crossed when Katie's daughters became friends with Nick's youngest son Eddie, 9, at a play centre. Since then, the couple has been open about their affection for each other. Last year, they caused a stir when they posed together for a photo while Katie modelled some designer lingerie. The image, which featured Katie in a scanty light pink number and Nick assisting to 'straighten the straps', was part of a collection of photos Katie posted for Nick's 61st birthday. Katie, who is a proud mum-of-two, had to defend the significant age gap between her and Nick. However, she isn't the first younger woman that the star has been associated with. Nick, a proud father to four children from three different women, seems to have a penchant for younger partners. Back in 2019, Nick showed a penchant for younger women when he was seen getting close to a woman 30 years his junior. Identified as 26-year-old PR exec Emily Hallinan, the pair were seen on a date at a dazzling West End show. The year before, rumours circulated that the TV host Nick had started seeing marketing executive Rebecca Kearns, who is also reportedly over 30 years younger than him. After splitting from Rebecca, Nick was photographed getting cosy with Emmerdale's Gemma Oaten following an evening at the TV Choice Awards in September 2016. However, these pictures triggered their breakup, with Gemma recounting the harsh reality: "One Sunday morning we were lying in bed and all these texts came through about us being photographed together. In an instant he completely changed. It was all about him and how it was going to affect his family. It was really cruel as he said it didn't matter for me. I felt sick." She recounted: "I said, 'Do you want to throw away what we have? We have done nothing wrong'. But he just dropped me like a ton of bricks. I thought it was a real relationship and he wasn't afraid to let others know." Nick was swiftly seen on multiple outings with ex-TOWIE star Pascal Craymer, 31 at the time, who confirmed their budding romance: "He's so lovely. We're seeing how it goes. He gets portrayed badly but he's a nice guy." Yet, when he dismissed the notion that they were an item, Pascal stood her ground, claiming he was in the throes of a "mid-life crisis". Nick's marital journey began with his first wife Gillian in 1995, which lasted until 2000 and blessed them with two children, Tuesday and Charlie. Following that, his relationship with beauty therapist Paula Beckett-Vass resulted in a son named Tyrian-J. In 2000, he started a three-year fling with presenter Suzi Perry. Tying the knot with Jessica Moore – 26 years his junior – he fathered a son named Eddie before their 2016 separation. Nick hasn't shied away from admitting his reluctance for deep commitment, confessing in 2008: "My relationships have pretty much followed a pattern. They last six months and start off with me explaining that I work a lot, so will have commitment issues. The women involved agree that that is fine, then after a month I get a phone call saying, 'This isn't on'. After three months we split up, then get back together. After five, there's another tussle. At six it's all off." The DIY SOS host has confessed to facing challenges in his family life, admitting he wasn't often present when his older children were growing up. "It's the most difficult thing in modern life to weigh up the amount you work to improve their lifestyles versus missing your children grow up. "I'm not sure I got that right with my older children, I was probably away too much. So I'm making a greater effort now with my eight-year-old," he revealed, adding: "Having said that, my older children are all doing great and are very happy." Nick went on to say: "Having an eight-year-old son at the age of 60 is the most wonderful thing in the world. It keeps you young, makes you see the world through new eyes. "It reminds you of your own fascination with the world and all there is to see and do. We have a map of the world in his bedroom, and before bedtime we go through and he names four countries in each continent. I want him to know there's a big world out there, to travel and meet people the way I have, because it gives you a much greater understanding of humankind."

Joe Tate's torment of Billy continues as he makes vile accusation in Emmerdale
It doesn't look like any hatchets will be buried for Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) or Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) anytime soon in Emmerdale – except in each other's backs. Billy has got the absolute measure of evil Joe and is desperately trying to get his family away from him. Clemmie became so full of hatred for Joe that she called social services and said she was afraid of him, such was her desire to have him gone and her family back together. She later said this was a lie, but she wasn't done trying to get him gone. Clemmie later went missing on Joe's watch and turned up at Sam Dingle's (James Hooton) where she told Joe to his face how much she hated him. Seeing his kids so distraught, Billy wants rid of Joe, which is a real pain in Joe's side. In a bid to numb said pain, Joe tried a different tact, attempting to buy Billy off with the promise of a decent job in Liverpool – telling him he'd live away five days a week and see the kids at weekends. Billy saw right through this and emphatically rebuffed Joe's offer as the unscrupulous businessman branded him a loser, which was met with a swift and painful shove from his wheelchair. But though Clemmie said she'd lied about being afraid of Joe, she still hates him. Later, while under his care, she went missing on purpose to cause more trouble, causing Billy to demand that Dawn leave Home Farm for their children's safety.

TV teen who needed French polisher in Yellow Pages ad unrecognisable 34 years on
One of the best-remembered ads for the Yellow Pages phone directory featured a floppy-haired teenager waking up to the aftermath of party he'd thrown while his parents were away Before the rise of the internet, we had the Yellow Pages, a comprehensive directory of local businesses – from advice centres to zoos – all vying for your custom, packaged in a hefty, distinctively coloured phone book. In the 1990s, the Reading-based company became famous for its unforgettable TV adverts, each new release bringing a buzz of anticipation akin to the unveiling of a new John Lewis Christmas advert today. These TV commercials even turned their stars into temporary celebrities, long before the era of reality TV, and gave birth to several catchphrases. Anyone around at the time will easily remember the Yellow Pages ad featuring elderly man searching for a book titled Fly Fishing by J R Hartley, with the surprising twist that it was Mr Hartley himself seeking his old publication. There was also the cheeky young lad standing on a stack of Yellow Pages to sneak a kiss under the Christmas mistletoe. And in 2003, Cold Feet actor James Nesbitt was enlisted to rejuvenate the brand, with the actor channelling his character Adam's hapless persona from the show, using the Yellow Pages to navigate tricky situations. But one of the most memorable adverts, first aired in 1991, featured a shaggy-haired teenager waking up on his living room floor after hosting a house party while his parents were away. Venturing into a bedroom, he stumbles upon a stranger on the bed, exclaiming: "Wake up! My parents fly back today," as a small group hastily tidies up the house. Then after his abject horror at noticing a scratch on a wooden table, he turns to the reliable Yellow Pages to find a solution. "Hello, French polishers?" he enquires over the phone, adding: "It's just possible you could save my life." The scratch is skilfully polished away in the nick of time and everything seems fine, until the final moment when the unfortunate lad realises that someone has doodled a beard and glasses onto a woman on one of the family's treasured paintings. The teenager in the advert was portrayed by Nottingham actor Simon Schatzberger, who later played Adrian Mole in a stage production in London's West End, and has since appeared as a Woody Allen-esque character in a stand-up comedy show. Now aged 57, he's also had a stint as David Klarfeld on the BBC soap Doctors and made appearances in EastEnders as a Rabbi, both in December 2018 and again in January 2019. His other television roles include Band Of Brothers, Daniel Deronda and Father Brown. In 2019, Yellow Pages announced it would cease printing its iconic directories, after more than half a century. The final editions of the once-indispensable guide were delivered in Brighton, the city where the directory's original copies were distributed. It boasted 104 editions, each customised to specific areas of the UK, with nearly 23 million copies circulated each year. And in 2023, a perfume was launched that even smelled like Yellow Pages, proving the brand lives on... sort of.
