Emmerdale exit teased for Jimmy King as he plans to plead guilty for Paul's death

Emmerdale could be lining up a surprise exit for long-serving character Jimmy King, judging by new spoilers.

The ITV soap favourite found himself charged with death by dangerous driving recently, after a devastating crash last month.

Actor Nick Miles has been on the show since 2004, but could he be making a shock departure?

Jimmy will leave his wife Nicola King mortified when he confirms his intentions following his recent charge, blaming himself over Paul Ashdale's death.

Paul died after Jimmy crashed his lorry into the farm building he was in with Liv Flaherty, after he veered off the road at high speed.

Jimmy was worried something was up with Nicola and that son Carl was being kidnapped, leading to him speeding back to the village in low sunlight.

Unable to see ahead, he crashed straight into the building injuring both Paul and Liv, before the lorry and the barn exploded.

Jimmy and Liv barely survived, while Paul later died from his injuries.

The police have charged him with death by dangerous driving, and a guilty Jimmy decides to accept his fate and admit blame.

Speaking to Nicola, he reveals he plans to plead guilty to the charge which could carry a long prison sentence.

But does this mean we could be bidding farewell to the character soon?

He isn't the only one feeling the guilt, as Liv is hiding the fact she left an injured Paul in the barn and didn't help him just before the explosion.

She will relapse in upcoming scenes, turning to alcohol to try and forget her actions which will soon be exposed - while fans will argue her actions were warranted given he was beating her up in the barn just as the crash happened.

Viewers will have to stay tuned to see how it all pans out!

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
