ITV's Emmerdale Actor Reveals They've Exited Show and Final Scenes Have Aired Already

Steven Gidwaney said his final scenes have aired after a short return, and he hinted Simo could appear again.

  • Actor Steven Gidwaney confirmed his departure from ITV soap Emmerdale, with his final scenes as character Simo having already aired following his second short stint.
  • Simo was introduced in the latter half of 2025 as one of many illegal workers on a farm run by Ray and Celia, living hidden in an attic alongside fellow resident Bear Wolf.
  • Returning to screens last month, Simo played a major role in the trial against Bear, Paddy, and Dylan but shocked viewers by reversing his stance and claiming Bear had 'special privileges' in the abuse.
  • Taking to social media, Gidwaney thanked co-stars Dominic Brunt, Joshua Richards, Fred Kettle, and Andrew Scarborough plus directors Simon Ferguson and Matt Hilton, while viewers praised his performance as "Great role Steven, well done."
  • Gidwaney hinted at a potential future return, writing "That's Simon 'Simo' Clarke over and out, for now, who knows, maybe we'll see him again," suggesting the door remains open for a comeback to the Dales.
