Andrew Scarborough is set to exit \'Emmerdale\'.
The 46-year-old actor is expected to bow out of his role as Graham Foster in a "huge" storyline in the new year, after two years on the ITV soap.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Andrew\'s been a great addition to the cast and has been involved in some of Emmerdale\'s biggest storylines since he arrived in the village in 2017.
"So he was never going to leave in the back of a taxi.
"His exit will be huge and will kick start a drama filled and action packed year in the Dales."
The former \'Bad Girls\' actor joined the soap as the legal guardian of Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) and the former assistant of Kim Tate (Claire King) in September 2017.
And Andrew previously admitted he was hoping \'Emmerdale\' character Megan Macey (Gaynor Faye) would persuade his alter-ego Graham to get his haircut, because his locks looked like 1970s snooker legend Ray Reardon.
He said: "I think she could change him. He could become happier, that would help.
"She could get him to have a proper haircut and not look like Ray Reardon from the 70s, and less like Dracula or an undertaker.
"So he could be a lot happier.
"That is a real, solid, honest relationship. Whereas the one with Kim is fraught, it\'s a strange relationship where they care for each other, but there\'s a lot of distrust, and a lot of status games going on.
"Megan was the first proper, honest relationship he\'s had for quite a while. Well, it turned out he cheated but I think he genuinely was very fond of her.
"I think they\'re good together as well."
