Emmerdale spoilers<\/a> follow.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale has finally referenced the whereabouts of Jimmy King’s son Elliot Windsor after nearly two years away from our screens.<\/p>\n

Elliot has been absent since the end of 2024, but has continued to live in the village off camera. <\/p>\n

In Thursday’s episode, Elliot’s stepmum Nicola proves he hasn’t been forgotten, as she mentions that the teen is due to receive some important exam results.<\/p>\n

At the caf\u00e9, Nicola leaves Lewis and Kev Barton to hold the fort when she joins Elliot for this milestone moment.<\/p>\n

“I’m taking Elliot in to get his A-level results,” she explains.<\/p>\n

When Lewis offers his best wishes, Nicola replies: “Yeah, thanks. I guess we’ll find out if he really was working in his room or just pretending.”<\/p>\n

So it turns out Elliot has spent most of the past two years upstairs, dutifully studying… and wisely staying out of all the soapy dramas unfolding around him in the village.<\/p>\n

Later, Nicola returns in high spirits as she announces: “He did it! Elliot got his grades, so he’s off to St Andrews! He’ll finally be able to say goodbye to all the oiks and scrotes he’s been calling his friends.”<\/p>\n

Next week’s scenes<\/a> see Nicola continue to get excited about Elliot’s imminent university experience \u2013 and what life might look like for her and Jimmy once all the kids have flown the nest.<\/p>\n

Last month, young actor Luca Hoyle \u2013 who plays Elliot \u2013 confirmed that he was returning to Emmerdale<\/a> following his extended absence, so we should see him in-person again soon. This could tie in with reports that Jimmy will be leaving the ITV soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“After a short break, I am so excited to say that this summer I am back in the studio filming for a new storyline as Elliot Windsor in Emmerdale,” Luca said on social media.<\/p>\n

“It’s a role I’ve been lucky enough to play since 2016, and it’s such a privilege to still be part of it. Looking forward to seeing where this next chapter goes.”<\/p>\n

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
