However, the exact date of the character’s exit has not been confirmed – until now. Richard made an appearance on Sunday Brunch, where host Tim Lovejoy asked: “So we know Vincent’s leaving on Friday, has it been difficult to keep it under wraps?” As Richard went to answer the question, he didn’t protest the date, thus confirming that the character will leave screens this week.” The star went onto let slip details of Vincent’s exit, teasing that it’ll be an emotional one.  He said: “I'm not going to lie, it was quite emotional when we shot the final scene. "Because everybody that I worked with for the final scenes were the same people that I also started with. “So we were hugging and there was a bit of tears and stuff but trust me, we made sure that we nailed it so that the audience are speaking about it....so that I win Best Actor at the Soap Awards." It comes after the comedian dropped a big hint about what viewers can expect from the character’s final scenes.
