Viewers watched last night as Samson was sentenced to four years inĀ prisonĀ for violently attacking thug Josh.
In a video on the soapāsĀ InstagramĀ page, Sam said: āSo as youāve seen Samson has now left the village.
āItās been a great storyline so Iād like to thank everyone whoās been with me, cast and crew, over the last 15 years.
āAnd hopefully weāll see Samson again. See you later.ā
Samās final scenes as Samson aired last night when his dad Sam had a brief goodbye inĀ courtĀ before he was taken to prison.
āIām really sorry I let you down dad, Iāve been a rubbish son, havenāt I?ā he said to his dad in prison.
Sam tried to reassure him, telling him he was proud of him but added: āI just wish you werenāt going away for so long.
āIf you keep your head down, you could be out in two years for good behaviour.ā
He encouraged his son to take on any training opportunities behind bars so he could get a job when heās realised.
āIāve got to go dad,ā said Samson as he hugged his dad goodbye for a final time.
However fans were left furious with the exit, taking to social media to slam it.
One wrote: āThat was such a poor exit for Sam after all the years he has been inĀ Emmerdale.
āThey should have let him and Amelia go off travelling with Esther, after all she does not really have storylines so canāt understand why her, Noah or Sarah are still in it.
āI love Emmerdale but really bad decision.ā
