Actor Joe-Warren Plant, who plays Jacob Gallagher in Emmerdale, paid tribute to departed co-star and “best friend” Matthew Wolfenden, who portrays his dad David Metcalfe.
Joe-Warren Plant, who portrays Jacob Gallager in the ITV serial opera Emmerdale, paid respect to Matthew Wolfenden, who portrays David Metcalfe, his on-screen stepfather.
a three-time father Joe Warren, who has played Matthew’s stepson since 2010 when he was just eight years old, has stated he is “gutted” that the actor is ending his nearly two-decade run on the role.
“I’m devastated! He has taught me everything. Everything I did as an actor came directly from Matthew because I had no prior acting training, he admitted.
The rising actor acknowledged that, as an adult, he was particularly fond of how the character’s connection had developed.
“It’s nice to see the change in conversations — everything’s a little bit more grown-up and they talk more on a mature level,” he said.
They have always gotten along, and David is a wonderful father, but now that David is a single parent, Jacob is loving having more time with David.
It’s going to be strange not having him around, he said as he thought about life on set without Matthew.
He’s my best friend, so even though it’s upsetting, we’ll stay in touch. The most sincere person you will ever meet is Matthew. Without a doubt, I will miss him.
Drama for the two is expected in upcoming episodes as a careless error causes Jacob to have a potentially fatal allergic reaction.
Naturally shocked, David quickly takes extreme measures to defend him.
As Debbie Dingle when he joined the soap opera, Matthew also met his wife Charley Webb there.
He thought about this and remarked, “You know what, I met my wife on the show and we’ve had three kids. It has provided me a family as well as 18 years of an excellent profession.
