Kelvin Fletcher teases ITV Emmerdale return as he's triggered by watch-stealing storyline while fans 'work out' culprit

Kelvin Fletcher has jokingly teased that he'll come back to Emmerdale after appearing triggered by a current storyline. Fans of the ITV soap best know the actor for playing Andy Sugden.

He made his first on-screen appearance in the Dales in 1996 as the adoptive son of Jack Sugden and Sarah Sugden. Kelvin remained in the role for two decades before leaving in 2016.

But almost seven years after his last scenes aired, Kelvin has dropped a hint that he may be up for a return to the fictional Yorkshire village. Over the weekend, the official Instagram account for Emmerdale shared a preview of what’s come in the next week.

In one photo, fans could see an angry Will Taylor is holding Sam Dingle by the neck, with it being teased in the caption: "Next week: Will accuses Sam of stealing from him." It comes after Sam was accused of stealing Will's watch in scenes aired last week.

Will had caught Sam in his wife Kim Tate's kimono after the Dingle took a shower after their own boiler at home went bust. After Sam explained his financial difficulties, Will agreed to keep it between them. However, he later discovered his watch was missing.

Will was quick to want Sam sacked and the police involved but Kim was more understanding and said that if the watch was returned, he could keep his job. However, Sam continued to protest his innocence and lost his job. Then, in solidarity with her husband, Lydia decided to quit as Kim's cleaner.

After seeing the preview for this week's episode on Instagram, Kelvin was spotted leaving a comment as he wrote: "If he touches Sam like that again I’m coming back to sort it." And, of course, fans were responding.

Meanwhile, thanks think they know who the real watch-stealing culprit is. @parrswoodmikey1969 said: "I think the dodgy Nicky Nanny took it!" @aaronsharp123 commented: "Sam did not steal i think it was Nicky and Charity finds out something." @jamiepickles echoed: "Sam did not steal Will's watch. I think. It was the Nanny."

And it's not just Nicky in the frame. @jojosp4rrow said: "One of the kids took it to play with the boy i think." @its_me_lea_whi added: "It was wills grandson who took it to play with,but will acting all holier than thou cause he married into money he seems to forget he was in jail himself."
