Emmerdale.Will it be the same without Jack Sudgen?(Clive Hornby)?

Gosh you really have got embroiled in the character of Jack Sugden. Clive Hornby played this character of late knowing that he was an ill man. Speaking last year he said he had an unknown illness and would be having wee breaks from the part of Jack and that hopefully he would soon be back to full health. Sadly this was not to be.
