Nate Robinson actor Jurell Carter is leaving Emmerdale, reports claim

It seems Emmerdale is having a hard time keeping young men on their cast list as latest reports have suggested Jurell Carter is leaving the soap as Nate Robinson.

Hot on the heels of Ethan Anderson’s death, and the rumoured departure of both Suni Sharma and Nicky Miligan, Nate’s absence would leave a bloke-shaped hole in the village.

However, after the reveal of his wife Tracy’s affair with his uncle Caleb and the subsequent breakdown of his marriage, there’s really very little keeping Nate in the Dales.

Is it such a sad loss?

‘Explosive exit’ for Jurell Carter from Emmerdale

According to The Sun Jurell – and therefore Nate – will leave the soap later this year and a big exit is planned.

“Nate has been at the centre of some huge storylines and his exit will be no different,” a source told the publication.

“It will be dramatic and explosive and will go down in Emmerdale history. It won’t be one to miss.

“Jurell has loved being on the soap but he’s a young actor and it’s understandable he wants to spread his wings. Five years is a good run but he feels it’s time.”

Emmerdale has been contacted for comment.

Nate’s time on Emmerdale

Nate’s mysterious arrival in the Dales in 2019 immediately ruffled feathers. He kissed Rhona Goskirk and then embarked on an affair with Moira Dingle.

A major twist then confirmed that Nate was in fact the estranged son of Moira’s husband Cain Dingle. He had seduced Moira as an act of revenge for Nate being neglected by his father.

But it then turned out Cain never even knew Nate existed. His mum, Faith had intercepted all correspondence because Cain’s stepdad, Shadrach, was racist.

Nate and his dad finally made up. Wanting to get to know him, Nate settled down in the village. He had a baby with Tracy Metcalfe, supported her through post natal depression – and then cheated on her. They got back together and got married last year, but she quickly embarked on an affair with Caleb.

It seems the drama of village life could have got too much for Nate. But how will he leave?

Could Tracy be involved in his departure? Or is their marriage definitely over for good?
