Emmerdale fans will be introduced to Lachlan White's father Donny next month.
Actor Alan Convy has been cast in the role of Donny, who will be appearing in the ITV soap for a guest stint.
Donny's arrival in the village will come as Lachlan's sexual assault storyline continues to play out on screen.
Lachlan (Thomas Atkinson) left Alicia Metcalfe traumatised by assaulting her last month and then spent weeks lying about what had really happened between them.
More recently, the teenager has been forced to face the music after his mother Chrissie uncovered his guilt and ordered him to confess to the police.
With the legal process set to continue in the coming weeks, viewers will have to wait and see how Donny's appearance affects the White family.
Chrissie has tried to keep Donny well away from the Lachlan situation thus far, so the arrival of her dodgy ex is bound to stir things up even further for the troubled mum.
