'Emmerdale' star Marc Silcock has said that his character will leave the show in "an exit people will remember".
Speaking to the Boston Herald, he said: "There is a large time where [Jackson and Aaron] are happy together because we decide to go, 'Okay, we'll give it a go. We'll see what kind of life we can have'."
"That's something people can look forward to. There's going to be lots of laughs, lots of jokes... We are going to see a bright light of shining happiness - for a while."
"When that comes to an end, we'll start discussing the issues that people will understand a bit more and appreciate a bit more."
Previous reports have suggested that Jackson will ask his boyfriend Aaron and his mother Hazel to help him to end his own life.
Speaking about assisted suicide, Silcock said: "Why shouldn't you have that choice? If you've had an accident, why should you be kept in a prison cell for a crime you haven't committed? You should have the choice."
"You're trapped in a body for something you didn't do. There shouldn't be such an uproar around it. It shouldn't be such a taboo subject."
"We believe what we're going to be talking about is something that needs to be talked about and hasn't been talked about in British TV, let alone a soap, and that's really important for me, to really think that a really unappreciated subject will be brought to the forefront."
The actor did not reveal what Jackson's final storyline would be but said: "I think it's going to be an exit people will remember."
