Emmerdale star lands very different job months after quitting ITV soap

Emmerdale star Jurell Carter, 32, has announced his next move after leaving the ITV soap in September. The talented soap star - who played Nate Robinson on Emmerdale - will say goodbye to TV and hello to the stage, touring in a major adaptation of the BBC series Boys from the Blackstuff, playing Loggo. The tour will kick off at the end of January next year, and take the cast all over the UK.
A description for the play reads: “80s Liverpool. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance. Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find jobs, avoid the ‘sniffers’ and see if you can have a laugh along the way.".
Jurell left fans on tenterhooks after his character suddenly left in a devastating twist. Nate had been offered a job in Shetland, and planned to move away with wife Tracy Metcalfe after their reunion, as well as their daughter Frankie. But a misunderstanding saw Nate accused of having an affair again with his stepmother Moira Dingle, five years after their fling. Nate protested his innocence but no one believed him, including Tracy and his father Cain Dingle. Cain violently attacked Nate and disowned him, only to find out on Friday his son had done nothing wrong. It was too late for anyone to reconcile though, as it was revealed Nate had packed his bags and fled the village for good.
