Emmerdale villain Thomas King is said to be making an "explosive return" to the ITV hit soap.
Thomas, whose dad is late killer Carl King, is apparently making a shocking comeback next month with a concerning motive - amid fan speculation he could be linked to Caleb Milligan.
Soap fans will recall that Thomas, who was previously played by Mark Flanagan, terrorised the village in 2013 by stalking Chas Dingle.

He first arrived in the village in 2004 amid a huge custody battle between his parents - Carl and Colleen - as they made a decision to divorce and he went on to wreak havoc throughout his time in the village.
Carl King's son had already been played by two other actors, Jack Ferguson and Connor Hill, who appeared as younger versions of the character before Mark Flanagan took on the role.
And now almost a decade on, newcomer James Chase is set to take over the role of Thomas King as he gears up to make his debut next month.
Emmerdale spoilers suggest viewers should prepare for an "explosive" return for Tom, as his uncle Jimmy King questions the motives behind his reappearance in the village.
But where is former Tom King actor Mark Flanagan now and what has he been up to since leaving the Dales?
Mark Flanagan was the third person to play Thomas King, son of Carl King, in Emmerdale between 2012 and 2013.
Flanagan has gone on to have a successful TV career, aside from Emmerdale his other credits include, Accused, The Story of Tracy Beaker, Doctors and Holby City.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
