Darcy Gray has quit Emmerdale after a year in the role of Marcus Dean.
The character - son of Rhona's murderous ex Pierce Harris - moved to the Dales last February and quickly got into a relationship with Ethan (Emile John).
In recent weeks their romance has hit the rocks, however, with Marcus being arrested for assault of Ethan's lecherous boss Greg.
A source told The Sun: "Marcus' time in the village came to a natural end.
"Darcy is keen to spread his wings but the door has been left open."
Marcus's final scenes are expected to air later this month.
