Nate Robinson star Jurell Carter could be leaving Emmerdale, according to reports.
It was reported earlier in the summer that actor Jurell, 32, might be on his way out of the ITV soap – and an “explosive” exit could be in the works.
An anonymous insider is said to have told The Sun back in June: “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.”
So, with that in mind, here’s everything we know about what’s been claimed about Nate‘s – and Jurell’s – departure from the Dales.
Nate’s mystery phone call
In tonight’s (Friday August 30) episode, Nate receives a mysterious phone call – and Tracy clearly feels put out.
Her jealousy builds as Nate is evasive, pulling away to speak on the phone. And he doesn’t offer all that much detail about who he speaks to or what the call is about, either.
It soon becomes apparent that the thought of Nate having met someone is bothering her.
However, as it turns out, Nate isn’t taking secretive calls from another love interest (although you can understand why Tracy might not put that past him.)
Instead, he’s been offered work in Scotland, which isn’t exactly a few fields over from the village.

Will Nate die in Emmerdale?
It had recently been looking like Nate and Tracy might be able to patch things up between them.
A reunion might even have appeared to be on the cards. However, it seems now that Nate and Tracy will feature in the upcoming massive barn fire storyline.
So now we’re concerned that Nate might not head up to the Highlands, and actually end up a victim of the blaze instead as he’s seen running towards the barn fire in the soap’s latest promo trailer for September.
Ahead of that, however, it seems another nasty shock is in store for Nate and Tracy.
After Nate opens up to Mack about relocating, the pressure is soon on him to make a decision.
Set a deadline of the next day to make his mind up, Nate is said to be torn about what to do.
He does finally share his news with Tracy, but both are reluctant to fully address about how they feel about each other.
Additionally, the pair are then hit with another worrying matter as they realised their young daughter Frankie has disappeared.
A frantic search proves fruitless, and they have to turn to the police for help.
But will Franke be found? Will Nate survive long enough to move to Scotland? And if he does, will Tracy or Frankie be joining him?
