Emmerdale star Patrick Mower has revealed that he is keen for his character Rodney Blackstock to be more prominent on screen this year.

The actor admitted that he would like to see new romance on the horizon for Rodney, who is currently involved in a storyline with scheming Carl King (Tom Lister) after being employed by him at the Emmerdale Haulage firm.

Mower told Inside Soap: "Rodney has been on the back-burner for some time now. I think we should see more of him this year. It'd be nice if he met a wealthy lady - Rodney is happy when he's a millionaire!"

Asked whether he would like Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) and Jimmy (Nick Miles) to make Rodney a grandparent again, he replied: "I don't really want that to happen. But I've heard that the actor Charles Dance is about to become a dad again at the age of 65, so how about Rodney being an older father? He just needs to find a rich young lady to have the baby with!"

Rodney receives a shock next week when he discovers that Carl has set him up to take the blame for a serious driving offence.

However, Mower added: "Rodney's a streetwise chap. If push came to shove, he'd drop Carl in it - even though he knows it could mean spending time in prison himself. Rodney is dangerous - Carl should watch out."

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm on ITV1.

Emmerdale star Patrick Mower has revealed that he now regards writing as his main career focus.

The actor, who plays Rodney Blackstock on the ITV1 soap, has been busy penning a children's book and a thriller in recent months.

Mower told This Morning today: "I've written a children's book which is finished, so I'm talking to a publisher about that. I'm a writer more than an actor now. Obviously I'm in Emmerdale, but I don't do too much in it. I've got a nice story at the moment, but I try not to do too much acting.

"The [other] story that I'm writing is a thriller. My lead character - well, he thinks he's the lead character! He's an Irish TV presenter, and he's based really on Eamonn Andrews. I got to know Eamonn really well - I was in a play in Dublin for about five weeks, and I used to play golf with him.

"So I had this idea of this chap who is very, very famous and he was going to get murdered. He happens to get murdered on the second page!"

Mower also praised his current Emmerdale storyline, which has seen Rodney blackmail Carl King (Tom Lister) after taking the blame for a hit and run offence that he committed.

"Poor old Rodney. He used to be a millionaire, you see. It's one of those stories you get in soap," Mower explained.

"When he was a millionaire, one of the producers said to me, 'We've got a great idea, Patrick. What we're going to do is make you go bankrupt, you're going to lose all your money, and then we'll have a wonderful story. We're going to build you back up and you're going to become a millionaire again'. And then they changed producers, so I still haven't got any money!

"Rodney is quite a nice guy, but it's like the worm has turned. It's quite a nice story."

Emmerdale continues tonight at 7pm and 8pm on ITV1.
