Emmerdale Tom King suspects now - co-star row, world record win and tragic loss

Emmerdale star was played by Ken Farrington, who also found fame in rival soap Coronation Street as Billy Walker from 1961 until 1984.

Tom King’s death storyline was one of the biggest whodunnit-style plots in Emmerdale history, with plenty of suspects in the firing line for Tom’s murder - including his three sons Jimmy, Carl and Matthew.The killer was eventually revealed as Carl, but he was never prosecuted and the trial to send the three of them down for conspiracy to murder fell down with insufficient evidence.To mark the anniversary of Tom’s death, we take a look at where his murder suspects are now - from co-star swipes to a complete transformation.Since leaving Emmerdale, Matthew King star Matt Healy has kept a rather low profile, mainly keeping to pantomime appearances along with a stint in Casualty and Holby City.But he admitted in 2011 that it was his own idea to be killed off the soap in 2008, explaining to Inside Soap: “It was actually my idea [to kill off Matthew].

I wanted to move on, and didn't want to have the constant thought in the back of my mind that I could return. Also, I really thought they'd done everything they could with him.”But soon after leaving, it emerged Matt was ready to quit acting after being “sick and tired” of going between jobs.He said that before scoring the role as Matthew King, he was ready to leave the industry for good, telling Chester Chronicle: “I think a lot of actors get to the point where they are sick and tired of going between various jobs while waiting to get a steady role."I was working as a courier in London and I had decided to go back up to Manchester to think about my next move when I got the call.
