I'm pretty certain he left in the early 1990s,  though I am probably mistaken.I could get why Emmerdale did the plane crash, as it did help save the series, but lets not forget that just months earlier, Emmerdale had aired storylines such as Lorraine Nelson revealing she had been sexually abused as a child and Zoe Tate coming out as a lesbian, which back in 1993 was practically a taboo subject, only EE had two LGBT characters between 1985 & 1993.And now over two decades on, every social issue has virtually been covered, in every possible angle, so now its no longer an issue storyline and as a result they've been replaced by stunt storylines.</blockquote>
