Samson Dingle has left Emmerdale – but has he gone for good? The teenager was sentenced to time in prison for his lies over the stabbing, but with Josh finally on the hook for the crime too, will this lessen Samson’s stint inside?
It was reported back in April that the ITV soap had called time on the character of Samson, with The Sun claiming actor Sam Hall had been axed.
A source reportedly told the paper: “Sam had a meeting with bosses earlier this month where they broke the news. He has been left devastated. He’s grown up with his on-screen Dingle clan and they are all very protective of him.”
Emmerdale declined to comment on the matter.

Samson leaves Emmerdale
Tonight saw Samson’s last scenes – but will this be the last we see of him? After he was arrested for assault Samson had been at the police station all night. But he soon called to reveal Josh had been caught confessing on Eric’s video doorbell so had been arrested and charged too.
Lydia later arrived at the pub with news that the judge had sentenced Samson to four years in prison. It was even more than the solicitor was expecting, but Cain said he felt sure Samson could be out in two with good behaviour.
At the end of the episode Sam and Samson had a moment together before Samson was taken away. Sam tried to coach his son for prison life, telling him to snap up any opportunity he has to learn a skill while inside. He also told his son he’s proud of him.
They had one last hug, told each other they loved each other and then Samson was gone. Sam was left alone on the verge of tears.
So we know that’s all we’ve seen of Samson for now, but is this him gone for good?
