Valley Actor On Karl Cole's 'Upsetting Exit'

Sunsetvalley's Karl Cole has spoken about his impending exit from the show after playing the character for almost 6 years. The troubled character makes a shocking exit later this year, and ultimately puts an end to his marriage with new wife, and long-time lover Piper Cole. 
The actor states 'Karl's exit was pushed further due to the gravitas of the circumstances he came under. It's not pleasant, and it will be upsetting to watch. It certainly felt that way'. He continues ' You grow quite close and intimate with your character, and to see them be put under pressure, you can understand how desperate they are. Unfortunately for Karl, the situation gets worse for him. That's been his trajectory for the last year, really. He keeps making terrible mistakes, and I think this time, there's' no chance of Piper taking him back. Karl goes fully rogue and it's sad to see. Viewers know that Piper and Karl are heading for an inevitable split. I can't say how he leaves, but it's quite an intense exit I'm thrilled to be playing this emotional material as an actor. It's really been a privilege.
