According to reports, the brother of Corrie’s Ryan Thomas is set to quit the soap later in the year to pursue a career as a telly presenter.

Adam joined the cast of Emmerdale back in 2009 after a f ew years on Waterloo Road and has been put through the ringer by the show’s writers.

Not only has his character suffered a breakdown and committed arson after the man he believed was his father died, he was also tricked into believing he had fathered a child.Earlier this year, his character had to endure the heartache of losing his half-sister Holly and biological father James, who were both killed off within a month of each other.

But in spite of his on screen drama, Adam is said to have enjoyed every single minute.

“Adam’s had a great time but he’s spent eight years in the Dales and thinks the time is right,” a source has told the Sun.
