Emmerdale: David and Victoria’s sudden exit explained as fans are left baffled

David and Victoria left the village again

Emmerdale fans were left baffled last night as David and Victoria suddenly left the village to go to London. Coming so soon after they returned from Portugal, why did they leave again?

In scenes on Tuesday, February 22, Victoria was shown the footage of Meena trying to drown her. It sparked Vic’s desire to leave the village.

Victoria was upset after seeing the video. She was terrified at the thought she could’ve been killed.

Fearing Meena could be released, David suggested they go to London until Meena is charged.

It isn’t known how long they will be off-screens for this time.

Entertainment Daily has contacted Emmerdale for comment!

Emmerdale: Isabel Hodgins and Matthew Wolfenden

Reports last year suggested actor Aaron Anthony had quit the role of Ellis. This came following an alleged race row involving Matthew Wolfenden and Isabel Hodgins.

Aaron was said to have been annoyed about the reported behaviour of his two Emmerdale colleagues. The incident was thought to have taken place during filming for Survival Week.

The Sun claims that the verbal altercation was over a comment made. It also alleged there was mimicking of a mixed-race co-star’s accent.

The co-star has not been identified.

The source said: “We have been told that Aaron brought this up with Matthew subsequently. There was a tense conversation between them. Matthew and Isabel stopped filming afterwards.

“Emotions have been running high on set ever since. But no one knows what to believe.

“The female cast member who was involved is filming as normal. But she wishes that she wasn’t entangled in it.”

According to the newspaper, Matthew, 41, and Isabel, 27, both categorically deny the allegations.

They are said to believe that there has been a misunderstanding.

Neither has publicly commented on the situation, however.

At the time a spokesperson for Emmerdale told ED!

“While we would never comment on individual cases, Emmerdale has robust policies in place to deal with any allegations brought to our attention and take the appropriate steps.”

Matthew and Isabel return to filming

The pair were written out of the soap following the incident but recently returned to screens.

In their Emmerdale comeback scenes David and Vic explained they had been stuck in Portugal as Theo had an ear infection. This meant he was unable to fly until it had cleared up.

On their return, the couple announced their intention to move in together and be a proper family.

But will Meena spoil their happy ever after?

What happens next for David and Victoria in Emmerdale?

Although we don’t know how long David and Vic will be off our screens, we do know Meena is continuing to meddle.

She still wants to control everyone around her and is set to turn her attentions to Charles.

Next week, he sets up a support group for the victims of Meena. Will David and Victoria attend that? Could it offer them some form of closure?

And with Meena trying to get the upper hand again, is Victoria right to be scared?

We missed the ultimate showdown between them – are we going to get it at long last? And who will come out on top?
