Emmerdale star Liam Fox has addressed the future of his character Dan Spencer.
Viewers will soon see Dan charged with GBH over a violent attack on villain Lloyd. The incident happened after Lloyd befriended Dan’s daughter Amelia online under a false identity.
Liam Fox has spoken to Digital Spy about the prospect of Dan going to prison. He said: "For somebody like Dan, I think it wouldn’t do him any favours at all. I think he'd come out worse than he went in because he's not a villain...If Dan gets locked up it could change everything for his daughter Amelia."

Liam’s character has often been known for his more comedic storylines and he enjoyed getting to do something different.
"I did a bit of research into these things," he explained. "I didn't meet anybody but I watched a lot of films and videos online, of not only the perpetrators of the violence but also the victims' families and it's just sad, really. Because nine times out of 10, the person who's hit the other person didn’t want this, they just lash out.”
