Emmerdale fans have been left scratching their heads as several familiar characters have disappeared from the village without explanation. From long-time residents to younger cast members, it seems that some key figures have been absent from the screen for far too long. As the drama continues to unfold in Emmerdale, viewers are wondering where some of their favorite characters have gone—and when, or if, they will return.

Where is Laurel?
Fans of Laurel Thomas have been asking for months, “Where is Laurel?” After being at the heart of some incredibly emotional storylines, including dealing with Ashley’s dementia and her own struggles with alcohol addiction, Laurel has all but vanished from the village. Her last notable appearance was when she was serving customers at the café, but she hasn’t had a significant storyline for a while. With no explanation for her disappearance, fans are eagerly waiting for her return to Emmerdale.
What Happened to Bob?
Bob Hope, a character who has been a constant presence in the café scenes, has also faded into the background recently. After the heartbreaking loss of his son, Bob took center stage, but now, with his daughter Kathy temporarily leaving the village, Bob seems to have completely disappeared from view. Could we see him return once Kathy is back? Fans are hoping so!
Lydia’s Absence
Lydia Hart’s absence has sparked considerable debate among Emmerdale viewers. While it was mentioned on-screen that she is off looking after her mother, her extended absence—especially missing key events like her 50th birthday party—has left fans wondering if there’s more to her disappearance. Will we see Lydia return soon, or is there more to her storyline than meets the eye?
Rodney Blackstock’s Fleeting Appearances
Rodney Blackstock has been popping up every now and then, but his screen time has been sparse. While he made a brief appearance at Eric’s birthday celebration, his disappearing act continues to baffle fans. Why does he keep vanishing for months at a time, and when will he truly be back in the thick of things?
Where is Jimmy King?
Jimmy King, once central to the drama in Emmerdale, has been MIA for quite some time. The last time viewers saw him, he was drunk at Lydia’s birthday party, reminiscing about his father’s tragic death. Since then, he’s been absent from most storylines. His comedic moments don’t seem to be enough to fill the gap—will we see more of him in upcoming episodes?
Arthur’s Sudden Absence
Arthur Thomas, one of the older teens in the village, has also disappeared from the screen. Although he was best friends with April, he hasn’t had much screen time in her storylines recently. Could we see Arthur return with a new storyline, especially with the arrival of Dylan, April’s friend? Fans are hoping to see more of Arthur soon.
Angelica’s Silence
Once at the center of the emotional storylines involving Heath’s death, Angelica has also been missing from Emmerdale for quite some time. After struggling with the aftermath of her involvement in Heath’s tragic storyline and her stint in youth prison, fans have been left wondering where she’s gone. With the focus shifting to April, could we see Angelica return with her own plotline soon?
Moses’ Mysterious Absence
Moses, Charity’s son, has been notably absent since Ross returned to the village. Both Charity and Ross occasionally mention Moses, but neither seems to have him with them during their scenes. Fans are left questioning where he is and whether he’ll make a return to the village soon.
What About Johnny?
Vanessa’s son Johnny seems to be another character that has completely disappeared from Emmerdale. While Vanessa has her moments on screen, we never actually see her looking after Johnny, and she rarely even mentions him. Fans are wondering where Johnny has gone and if we’ll get an explanation for his absence anytime soon.
