Is this Amelia’s Emmerdale exit? As Tom King suggests leaving the village together, just how will Daisy Campbell leave the soap?
Daisy Campbell confirmed she was exiting the soap earlier this week
It has been announced that Daisy Campbell will exit Emmerdale as Amelia Spencer at Christmas, but we don’t know how she will leave yet. Daisy has admitted in an interview that she was told the news earlier this year, but the choice to leave was not hers.
Speaking to The Mirror Daisy admitted: “It wasn’t my choice to leave Emmerdale and it was a shock at first. Being in Emmerdale is all I have ever known. I’ve spent the whole of my childhood growing up in the soap and it felt daunting. Once they explained, I totally got it.
“Amelia isn’t part of the Dingles, her dad has left, Samson has gone now and she doesn’t have any family. There is nowhere to take Amelia and I understand that. I feel incredibly lucky to have been in the soap for 13 years and to have been handed so many opportunities at such a young age.”
Speculation began a while ago over how Amelia will leave and with the scenes airing very soon (yes, Christmas really is just around the corner!) her exit will be upon us before we know it. But are scenes in Monday November 25’s episode setting up her exit storyline?
Tom suggests moving away to Amelia in Emmerdale
As Amelia remains smitten with Tom and constantly looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles, Tom manages to charm her again tonight. He pretends he’s really into God too and they pray together. He then suggests he’d like to put a ring on it, before bringing up the idea of moving away from the village to start their life together.
Could this be her exit from the soap? Will Amelia leave to start again with Tom? Is that how he goes too?
After so much tragedy in her young life, will Amelia leave on a high and get her happy ending? Or will there be more trauma ahead? Here are all the theories on her exit.
1. Tom to kill Amelia?
Okay, so Daisy has ruled out Amelia dying with her comments to The Mirror: “I am pleased the door is being left open. But I can’t say too much about how she leaves.” However, could this just be a red herring? It wouldn’t be the first time the soap has tricked fans…
Things are getting so tense between her and Tom right now and next week will mark a turning point as Amelia starts to see his true colours. He lashes out at her during a bonfire night outing and it’s enough to make Amelia stop and think.
Plus, we’ve already had scenes of Amelia’s death when Belle imagined her different futures. They were particularly harrowing, but was this foreshadowing what’s to come?
Some fans certainly seem to think so with many commenting on social media: “Tom will do something to her.”
It would also leave Esther to be brought up by her grandparents, Sam and Lydia and we can think of worse things than them having a child to focus on.
2. Amelia to kill Tom?
In a twist, could the roles be reversed? Could Amelia be the one to lash out in self-defence and kill Tom? Belle has already attacked him with an axe, but he survived. He also survived an electrocution in Moira’s barn. Will Amelia deal the fatal blow to her abusive boyfriend when it gets too much?
And if she does, would that send her to prison? Or would she take Esther and go on the run to avoid jail?
“What if she kills Tom?” wrote one fan. Others agreed they would be happy with this outcome.
3. Amelia to leave Emmerdale with Tom to start a new life
We’re really not on board with this theory, but could Amelia fall so far under Tom’s spell they up and leave Emmerdale together?
Tom has now suggested as such, much to the disgust of Sam Dingle, who has begged the police to stop them. The cops aren’t able to do anything right now as they don’t have enough evidence to act.
So will Amelia be whisked off to a life of fear and terror? If Tom gets his way, she will do.
4. Off to uni
Some fans have speculated that university is in Amelia’s future. She always was a brain box and was expected to achieve great things. But having Esther caused trouble with her schoolwork and she’s struggled to get back on track, working in Mandy’s salon to make ends meet.
But could all the nasty Tom business cause her to have an epiphany and realise that she does want to make the best of herself? Will she leave to get a better education and put her past behind her?
5. Amelia to leave Emmerdale and live with her dad
With the man she thinks of as her dad, Dan, in prison could she leave to live with her uncle-who-is-actually-her-biological-dad, Daz. He’s her only remaining family member, other than her brother Sean, so if she realises what a mess she’s made in the village and needs to cut ties, Daz is the only real person she could turn to.
