Lawrence Robb, who plays Emmerdale’s Mack Boyd, recently addressed reports his character was being k!lled off by John Sugden. So now that his character appears to be d3ad after a brutal showdown, what did he have to say about leaving the ITV soap?
Amid theories from fans that he isn’t really d3ad and might be alive, the actor remained coy over the news just weeks ago. Reports had been leaked by a publication that Mack would be left d3ad after exposing k!ller John.
It’s now thought, according to the publication, that Lawrence has left the show with Mack leaving for good. While scenes on Thursday appeared to confirm this and that Mack had been k!lled, fans are not convinced given it is soap land, and there was no body.
While it did appear there was a body under a blanket in John’s van, which was covered in blood, fans have been left asking if he’s really gone, and if Lawrence has really left. That remains unclear really, with the actor not speaking out since the episode aired.

But it was only weeks ago that he commented on his feelings about if he was to leave the show and be k!lled off. Speaking on Loose Women he was asked about the possible twist, and he confessed it was a real possibility.
He said: “There are lots of rumours, and rumours they shall remain”, before adding: “I’ve always said that being in the show that I never want to be too prescriptive with it.” He went on: “I’ve always enjoyed doing what I’m doing.
“If, and when, the time to leave comes, whether that would be my choice or the choice of the producers, then I will be thankful for the time that I’ve had. Ultimately, no one is safe in the show. Especially not in that village!”

Lawrence also spoke about the big week away from Loose Women, hinting at a grisly end for his character. He shared, on if his could be a victim: “One hundred percent yes. There’s no two ways about it. This evidence puts him in a dangerous position.”
But teasing it could also lead to John’s downfall, Lawrence added there was possibly “a bleak outcome” for poor Mack. He explained: “Look, there’s certainly a chance Mackenzie has the capability to bring John down. If he does – well that remains to be seen.
“But there’s potentially a very bleak outcome on the horizon.” He added: “It’s not looking good. Whilst Mackenzie has got the argument with Charity on his plate, he’s also got a pretty critical moment with John on his plate as well. And, combine these two things and it does not spell good things.”
