It's not been confirmed by the show, but sources suggest actor Nick Miles has been written out of the role after more than 20 years.‌Currently onscreen, a marriage split has been teased for Jimmy and his wife of more than a decade, Nicola King. But it was something in the scene with Nicola that may have teased a tragedy looms.‌As Jimmy was enjoying some time with Nicola, he talked about their children growing up and moving out. He mentioned something about it meaning they would have "more time".It very much felt like a "we have so many years ahead of us" vibes, despite Jimmy actually talking about his love of golf and not his marriage. But could this be the biggest hint yet that that won't happen, and Jimmy will die?‌Of course Nicola wasn't impressed, as Jimmy seemed more focused on all the golf he would be playing rather than the time he and Nicola. But is tragedy about to strike after spoilers teased a split?Fans certainly think so as one viewer posted: "Jimmy and Nicola actually getting some decent material but it’s only because he’s gonna die soon." Another said: "One of those ominous soap scenes with Nicola and Jimmy tonight."Another posted: "At this rate, Jimmy is going to meet his end by a club." A further comment read: "Ridiculous build up to getting rid of jimmy."‌Another said: "The fact that we are about to lose Jimmy (and there for the last King Brother) before 2026 ends does not bear thinking about." Another added: "I feel sick that they’re killing Jimmy off, we don’t have enough long standing couples as it is."A further fan said: "The fact that we'll be losing Jimmy King before the end of 2026. I'm not ready." It comes as Nicola fears it's the end for her and Jimmy, with marriage woes.‌With Jimmy preoccupied and not realising Nicola's fears over his lack of interest and lack of fun dates, his plan to wow her falls flat. So it seems the couple could be headed for a break-up, leaving many fans wondering if this will be how Jimmy leaves.Then we also have the return of Sadie King, played by Patsy Kensit, who is the ex of Jimmy. So will Sadie's arrival bring more trouble for Jimmy and Nicola before his rumoured exit?Article continues belowEmmerdale airs weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌ITVJimmy KingEmmerdaleSoap operas
