The actor – who plays Adam Barton in the ITV soap – confirmed he was quitting the Dales earlier this year.
And now the 29-year-old has appeared to have made a huge U-turn as he sent out a desperate plea to bosses on Twitter.
He wrote: “Dear @emmerdale I know it’s only been a few weeks but am ready to come back now even if I am a ghost… it’s been done before.”
Adam’s message received plenty of response from fans who were all up for the star to return.
One emotional fan wrote: “This needs to happen your exit storyline hasn’t even been shown yet and I’m not looking forward to seeing you leave. Can you stay please Adam?”
While fellow co-star Michael Parr, who plays his half-brother Ross Barton, teased his acting skills and said: “You couldn’t even play yourself on screen….how the bloody hell you gonna play a ghost?”
Another fan took Adam’s Twitter literally and wondered if he revealed a massive clue about his exit storyline: “What do you mean ghost? ARE YOU DYING?”
In the soap, Adam has just been arrested on suspicion of murdering crazed killer Emma Barton (Gillian Kearney).
The father-of-two has played the character on the soap for the past eight years and recently teased his final scenes will be “explosive”.
Discussing his exit in an interview with OK! Magazine, Adam revealed: “I’m not allowed to say too much but it’s a belting storyline. It’ll be explosive and the perfect way for me to say goodbye to the show.”
Despite teasing a dramatic exit, Adam admitted he won’t be killed off on the ITV show as he added: “The door has been left open for me to return.”
