Emmerdale fans couldn't help but be slightly distracted as they were introduced to a new character. Thursday's hour-long episode (June 8) saw actor Eddie Osei join the cast of the ITV soap to play Victor, who has just been released from a lengthy prison sentence.
Viewers saw Emmerdale’s resident vicar, Charles Anderson, secretly meet Victor and after a very frosty exchange between the pair, Victor was revealed to be Charles' father.
It came after Charles, who is portrayed by Kevin Mathurin, was seen taking secretive phone calls before he entered a high-security prison to meet Victor. And the addition of Victor to the Emmerdale cast will likely disrupt the lives of his ex-wife Claudette Anderson and their son Charles, ITV previously said.
