exclusively to <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong> about his exit, Molony said: \u201cThey were really exciting scenes to film, no doubt, but also emotional for me, because I\u2019ve had four incredible years of, essentially, laughing and to suddenly shoot these scenes on my own, without the gang\u2026 there were a couple of moments that night where I was like, \u2018This is the end\u2026&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though he will not be back as a regular, Molony added that \u201cthere\u2019ll be a little bit, I think, in series 5\u201d to resolve Dylan\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<p>Further addressing his departure, the actor said: \u201cI will be devastated when the messages from the [cast] WhatsApp group start coming in, in the next few weeks, when people are saying, \u2018Oh my God, do you remember when this happened on set?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s very exciting for the show to lose a member of the team and to see how that affects the group dynamic. [But] it\u2019s a sad day.\u201d<\/p> <p>Michelle Keegan also spoke to <strong>RadioTimes.com\u00a0<\/strong>about Molony\u2019s exit, insisting he is \u201cgoing to be missed\u201d on the Brassic set as filming on season 5 gets underway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"&quot;p1&quot;\">\u201cDamo\u2019s an integral part \u2013 and Dylan, obviously \u2013 of the show, and we\u2019re going to really, really miss him,\u201d said Keegan. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a feeling, when you go on set, that something\u2019s missing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, a production spokesperson said: \u201cSky\u2019s Brassic is recognised for its exceptional ensemble cast\u00a0and to have Damien play Dylan for four successful series has been truly amazing. All the Brassic cast and crew, who are up in Manchester filming season 5, wish him well and the best of luck for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sky announced last month, prior to season 4\u2019s release, that Brassic would return for a fifth instalment, with all other cast expected to return.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brassic 4, a Sky Original, is available to watch now via Sky Max and NOW \u2013 <a href=\"\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?id=489797&amp;clickref=radiotimes-0&amp;awinmid=11005&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sky.com%2Fshop%2Ftv&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot; noopener noreferrer\">sign up for Sky TV here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLziTV12IsNlgeCI-I08DFi5KegqGbvZmw&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Catch up on all episodes of Brassic season 1 for free on YouTube<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Drama<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription?utm_term=evergreen-article&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
