A soap actor has reprised his role in Emmerdale for a dramatic episode tonight, which will see someone push Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) out of a window at Home Farm.
Stephen Rahman-Hughes is certainly no stranger to soapland. It’s possible you recognise him from EastEnders, where he played the role of Adam Bateman from 2018-2019.
The character was a foster child of Arshad and Mariam, and the local dentist in Walford.
Adam started a relationship with Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton), but he quickly started showing signs of being controlling and abusive.
He also had an affair with Habiba, a secret that was revealed in powerful scenes.
Adam left after a showdown with Honey, which resulted in her throwing what appeared to be a small bin at him, causing the dentist to chip a tooth.
Spoilers from tonight’s episode of Emmerdale, which is available to view on ITVX right now, to follow.
Stephen recently returned to the Yorkshire Dales to film as a character he last played in the early 2000s.
He portrayed the role of DS Vikesh Dasari in the ITV soap in 2006-2007, and will be back on our screens this evening, as Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) will report Joe after learning he caused his spiking and limo crash in February.
Producer of the show Laura Shaw recently revealed this episode will have a few Easter Eggs linking back to an episode in 2006, when Jimmy King’s (Nick Miles) dad Tom King was pushed out of a window at Home Farm.
The detective investigating the murder was Dasari, so he will certainly feel reminded of his past heading into the building tonight to deal with the same crime!
Joe is attacked by an unknown assailant at the end of the instalment, after his secrets about spiking Noah, sleeping with Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) and stealing Caleb Miligan’s (William Ash) kidney are exposed to multiple residents.
