And now Emmerdale's Lachlan White is set to finish the job once and for all in a dramatic storyline that will see at least two characters axed from the ITV soap.
A soap insider suggested that they won't be the only two characters to fall victim in the killing spree, telling The Mirror: 'There’s going to be a lot of change afoot. It will be a proper bloodbath.'
The source added that while actress Gillian Kearney, who plays Emma, wanted to leave, her co-star John Bowe, who plays Lawrence, was 'upset' at the decision to write him out of the soap.
Lachlan was jailed after being found guilty of perverting the course of justice in January, but was found not guilty of attempted murder.
James later died in hospital, after being visited by his crazed wife who tried to finish the job of killing him as he lay on life support.
Emmerdale boss Iain MacLeod had hinted that Emma would be punished for the murder during a press event earlier this year.
He said: 'The soap gods are currently adjudicating on whether Emma will get her comeuppance soon and they haven’t made their ruling yet.
'Fundamentally, no bad deed goes entirely unpunished but in terms of what form that punishment takes is very much still to be decided.'
