Due to the court action involving Freeman's alleged sexual assault, Scott Windsor was sacked in early 2007.

According to Digital Spy, Ben Freeman was dismissed from Emmerdale on December 16, 2007. The ITV website asserts that, for pragmatic reasons, Freeman chose not to renew his contract. At the end of 2007, his contract was scheduled to end.

Scott experienced plenty of turmoil in Emmerdale, including his romance with Chloe Atkinson (Amy Nuttall). Scott had a one-night encounter with Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell), who became pregnant while he was with Chloe.

At that point, Zoe's brother Chris (Peter Amory) decided to exact revenge on Scott and even went so far as to set fire to his garage.

Before relocating to London to stay with a friend in 2007, Scott had affairs with Debbie Dingle and his new step-sister, Dawn Woods.

Furthermore, Scott was overheard telling Viv via phone in January 2008 that he would not be going back to the village and that he was selling Tug Ghyll.
