Going on to say that the time was right for his character to bow out following the exit of his on screen son Ellis (Asan N'Jie) but still had a 'lump in his throat' while filming his final scenes.
He said he was so pleased to be able to feature in the show's epic 50th Anniversary and joked how the celebration was a 'great time to die!'.
'I've died three or four times with different characters I've played over the years. But the difference is this is a character who I have given life to for some time. Al is much dearer to me than other characters I've said goodbye to'.
