Emmerdale bosses have announced that a new family will be taking over at Home Farm.

Newcomer Lawrence White will purchase the iconic estate after it is put up for auction later this month.

Former Coronation Street actor John Bowe has already made his first appearance on screen as Lawrence, who had an affair with Edna Birch's husband many years ago.

A new era for Home Farm will see Lawrence become the new lord of the manor. He will be joined by his daughter Chrissie, played by newcomer Louise Marwood.

In a further twist, Chrissie is the fiancée of returning character Robert Sugden, now played by Ryan Hawley.

Young actor Thomas Atkinson has also joined the cast of Emmerdale, playing Chrissie's troubled 14-year-old son Lachlan. Additionally, the family have a pet dog named Dog.

The storyline begins on screen in a fortnight's time, when an open day for potential purchasers is held at Home Farm. Feisty Nicola King is rude to Chrissie when she turns up as a prospective buyer, believing that she is a time-waster.

Nicola's assumptions and subsequent bad behaviour soon blow up in her face when Robert joins his partner to look around the house. Wealthy Lawrence also arrives to inspect the property, having decided that he is keen to buy in the area.

As viewers learn more about Lawrence, it becomes clear that he is not happy with Chrissie's choice of husband. When he sees how reluctant Robert is to return to the village, he promptly puts in an offer for Home Farm - suggesting that he could be trying his best to ruin Chrissie's relationship.

Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates commented: "Home Farm has always been the seat of power in Emmerdale. In Lawrence, we have a family man with serious status and a complex history. Robert's going to have to prove himself worthy - not just of the big house on the hill, but of Lawrence's daughter Chrissie. But will the ghosts of his past hold him back?"

John Bowe added: "I am delighted to be joining the cast of Emmerdale and having already recorded scenes involving Edna's long forgotten past, it is now fantastic to have been given the keys to Home Farm. I can't wait to stir things up."

Home Farm has a new family moving in soon, and they're guaranteed to bring up troubling memories for Andy and Edna...
When Home Farm is put up for auction and an open day held for potential purchasers, Nicola King's rude to prospective buyer Chrissie White. Little does she know, she's speaking to the soon-to-be lady of the manor.

But soon enough, Nicola’s fibs and fabrications are blown apart by the arrival of Chrissie’s fiancé, who has joined his partner to look around the house.

Chrissie's fiancé...is Robert Sugden!

Before long Chrissie’s wealthy father Lawrence White arrives to inspect the property, because he wants to buy in the area and Home Farm seems just the ticket.

Forthright in his views, Lawrence isn'tt impressed with Chrissie’s choice of husband and on getting wind of Robert’s reluctance to return to the village, promptly puts in an offer. Could Lawrence be determined to rock his daughter’s relationship?

Welcome the White family to the Village!

The family is made up of patriarch Lawrence, played by John Bowe (Silent Witness, DCI Banks, Prime Suspect, Coronation Street), strong minded Chrissie played by newcomer Louise Marwood, her troubled son Lachlan played by Thomas Atkinson and former Village resident Robert Sugden, played by Ryan Hawley (History Boys, both in the WestEnd and the UK theatre tour).

Speaking about the new arrival to Home Farm, Kate Oates, Series Producer explains: “Home Farm has always been the seat of power in Emmerdale. In Lawrence, we have a family man, with serious status and a complex history. Robert's going to have to prove himself worthy - not just of the big House on the Hill, but of Lawrence's daughter, Chrissie. But will the ghosts of his past hold him back?”

How will the residents take the familiar faces and the new family? Watch and find out...

We'll if Edna thought Lawrence had died in prison 50 years ago as a man, he must now be 70 at least??

So his daughter chrissie must be ( given she was born in wedlock post prison and post Harold )? 40-45.....,probably nearer 40, she could have a 20 year old daughter .......just....

Coming up on Emmerdale, Katie Addyman and Andy Sugden are left shellshocked when Robert returns to the village.

Robert's return storyline kicks off when Edna Birch's former love rival Lawrence White (John Bowe) arrives back in the area, joined by his daughter Chrissie. They turn up for a Home Farm open day that Nicola King has arranged in order to attract potential purchasers.

Nicola is immediately suspicious of Chrissie and suspects that she has only come for the free alcohol, promptly insulting her.

Chrissie bites back and is determined to look around in spite of Nicola's objections, but Nicola thinks she needs to be taught a lesson and comes up with a plan.

Roping Andy and Katie into her scheme, Nicola soon gets the couple to pretend that they are rich in order to put Chrissie off wanting the house.

The plan appears to be a success when Chrissie completely falls for the act, but the loved-up pair are left shocked when Chrissie's fiancé arrives and it turns out to be Andy's brother Robert…

Emmerdale introduces a new era for Home Farm next week as Edna Birch's former love rival Lawrence White purchases the iconic estate.

Lawrence (John Bowe) joins the village with his eldest daughter Chrissie (Louise Marwood) and grandson Lachlan (Thomas Atkinson), while show returnee Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) will also be moving in with them as he turns out to be Chrissie's fiancé.

Here, Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates speaks about bringing in the new family - revealing details of their background, secrets and the storylines to come.

What can you tell us about the background of this new family?
"We already know Lawrence from his backstory with Edna. When Lawrence came out of prison, he turned his life around and decided that he was going to make the best of this awful thing that had happened to him. He decided that he was just going to live a regular and successful life, which is why he married and had kids. He turned his back on his past, which had been really troubled. Lawrence is very driven and has made a lot of money that way.

"Lawrence's eldest daughter Chrissie rebelled against that a little bit when she was younger, which is why she owns her own chain of businesses as well. She decided that she was going to graft and build that up, so she's got a chain of salons on the side but has now come back into the family fold.

"Robert has worked for Lawrence, initially as a successful salesman until he got together with Chrissie. Lawrence suddenly thought, 'I'm not so keen on that element!' That's where the bad things have started brewing…"

Are there more family members who we haven't heard about yet?
"Lawrence has another daughter called Rebecca, but I couldn't possibly comment on when she's going to arrive! We're going to get the others settled in first as there's some nice dramas to play with them. We'll explore those first before we bring in Rebecca."

Why doesn't Lawrence like Robert?
"Initially Lawrence really did like Robert. When Robert came to work for Lawrence, he was absolutely the golden boy. We do know that Lawrence went to prison for homosexuality when it was illegal, so Lawrence has this within his character - he has had relationships with men in the past. With Robert being a bit of a golden boy, maybe there are several layers to that relationship.

"When Robert got together with Chrissie, Lawrence realised that it was nice to have him in the office and he'd always liked being his boss, but he likes it less when Robert is marrying his daughter! He now thinks maybe Robert is a bit of a gold-digger. Lawrence even faked a heart attack when they were about to get married, so that was pretty low! Well, Chrissie thinks that he did really have a heart attack but Robert is convinced that he faked it to stop the wedding. So Lawrence will definitely try anything."

Does Lawrence want revenge against Edna?
"Lawrence actually handles the Edna situation quite sensitively. What Lawrence recognises with Edna is that despite the traumatic time that he spent in prison, he's fared better since. Edna has been weighed down with this guilt and she's never been in a relationship. She's actually got quite a lonely life, while Lawrence looks at his own life and what he's built up with his family and thinks, 'I won - I did better than you'.

"Initially when Lawrence sees Edna he feels anger and resentment towards her, but as he reflects, it shows the layers to Lawrence. He can be ruthless and he can treat Robert quite badly, and equally Robert will treat him badly sometimes in return! But Lawrence can also be very compassionate and change his mind."

Is Lawrence in the market for a new relationship?
"Yeah, it's definitely something that we can explore. Lawrence's family know about his backstory, I think if you're a modern person and quite liberal, then you might just think, 'Everyone experiments in college'. Sadly for Lawrence that came at a point where it was punishable by a really horrible time in prison.

"From Chrissie's point of view, she sees that her parents were solid and she had a very good upbringing. She doesn't have any reason to think that her dad isn't straight - she thinks he just had a bit of a dabble when he was younger."

What is Lawrence looking for now?
"We'll have to wait and see! At the moment he's looking to get rid of Robert! One of the things we spoke about around the writing table was whether Lawrence got married just because he felt he had to and was determined 'to not be gay anymore' because of what had happened.

"I think there was an element of that, but his love for his wife was genuine. That's where the children came from and why the marriage had longevity. So it's complicated and not straightforward."

What can you tell us about the casting process for the new family?
"When we were talking about the character of Lawrence, we just wanted John. We didn't ask him to come in and read for the part - we just asked him and he said yes, so that was that! I'd met Ryan before for another part and really liked him, so he was very much in our heads for the role of Robert.

"I hadn't met Louise before, but we liked her immediately. In the audition, Louise just spun a few lines in the script very differently and totally changed the meaning of them. She was the only person who did that and it made me see the script in a different way, so that's why we were excited about her. I think they've all gelled together really well."

Is it a risk to recast the role of Robert?
"We were really excited to cast Ryan. Robert has changed and I think that suits a recast. It's not something that me or any of the writers were worried about. Sometimes you worry characters are going to say 'Robert!' and the audience will say 'No it isn't!', but so much has changed. I think taking Robert out from the regular farming families, where he grew up, and putting him on the house on the hill is one of those occasions where a recast will really work well for us."

How will Andy and Katie react to Robert's return?
"From Andy's point of view, he's finally got what he wants. He's finally got his girl and it's been a really long time coming. Andy and Katie are planning to get married and it's all going to be brilliant, but then Robert turns up. It's really, really going to rile Andy and it initially throws Katie a curveball too. Katie knows that she should hate Robert and she does, but we all know about those fine lines! It will definitely ruffle their feathers."

Is there still a lot of animosity between the two brothers?
"I think it's interesting how deep that history goes. Anyone with a complicated family history will know how certain things just stick with you forever and ever. Andy was the adopted brother and yet he was the favourite, and that really hurt Robert. I'm sure there are therapists up and down the country who'll say that those kind of things affect you for a really long time.

"Anyone who's watched the show will understand that, so sometimes Robert will behave really badly, but when you remember why and where that hurt comes from, you should be able to empathise with him a little bit."

So what will Robert get up to?
"I think Robert enjoys messing with Katie a little bit. From his point of view, he's won as he's got Chrissie and he's moving into the big house. Initially he doesn't want to move back to the village because there are too many ghosts there for him, but then he thinks that if he is going to be there, then he might as well live in the big house!

"I think Robert sees that he's moved on, while Andy and Katie have gone on the same little loop. Andy is actually really happy with that and that's where the two brothers are different. Andy can have happiness in a little terraced house in the village with the girlfriend he's always loved, while Robert is always clamouring for better. I think that probably means that Robert isn't the happier person.

"There will also be brawls between the brothers over time. We know that Andy's got a temper as well, which he largely has under control, but just sometimes when Robert pushes him too far… let's just say that make-up has got lots of blood on order!"

Could Katie be envious of Robert's lifestyle?
"Katie's had that with Declan and it didn't work very well. There'll be a scene soon where we've got Andy and Katie at Home Farm and what we try to get across is that she really isn't envious of that place anymore. When Katie discovered that Declan had hidden the evidence of the body on the glamping site to protect the festival, she saw that as money over morals and she's not like that.

"Katie is the girl next door and she's got together with the guy she should have always been with, so I think the focus is on the emotions of when Robert comes back."

What can you tell us about Chrissie's son Lachlan?
"Lachlan is Chrissie's son from a previous relationship. When Chrissie was making a point to her dad by going off doing her own thing, she hooked up with an unsuitable guy and they had a very brief relationship.

"Lachlan is the apple of Chrissie's eye, but his problems are also what keep her up at night. He's one of those teenagers where you wonder if they're just going through a teenager phase or whether there's a chip missing! I think that if you are a parent of that kind of child, you hope it is a phase. That's one of the reasons why Chrissie wants to come to Home Farm - to have a new start for her boy.

"Lachlan has been in trouble here and there, and Chrissie just hopes that a new beginning where nobody knows them could be the best thing for all of them. We're going to be planning some big stories for Lachlan and that will be when you really get to know Chrissie and see what makes her tick. That will be on screen in a few months' time."

What kind of reaction will the newcomers get in the village?
"I think people are always quite wary about new arrivals at Home Farm as it's the house of power. There'll be people who want to align themselves to the new family - people like Val, who's delighted that Robert is marrying into money!

"Of course Diane is Robert's stepmum and Victoria is his little sister. Robert does adore his little sister and it's nice to see that relationship because Isabel Hodgins who plays Victoria is such a fantastic actress. Victoria is going to be torn between the two warring brothers. Obviously she's lost both her parents and Diane is really important to her, but it would really make Victoria's life much nicer if her brothers could get along. The fact that they don't breaks her heart."

How do you feel about introducing a whole new family to the show?
"Bringing in a new family like this is great because it re-energises everyone and it's like having new toys to play with when you're around the writing table. Bringing in and bedding in new characters can be hard because audiences are tricky - they'll make a decision very quickly on whether they like them or not. They can change their minds but it takes time and it's a process.

"What's nice about this is you've got some brand new characters, but then you've got Lawrence's link to Edna so there's already a story up and running there. You've also got Robert who has a really strong link to the village already. From that point of view, it's a really nice thing to work on."

Emmerdale newcomer John Bowe has warned that there could be trouble ahead as his character Lawrence White tries to sabotage his daughter Chrissie's relationship.

Lawrence, who was introduced on-screen last month as a face from Edna Birch's past, is about to take over the ITV soap's iconic Home Farm estate as he moves in with his family.

Lawrence's daughter Chrissie (Louise Marwood) is engaged to Emmerdale returnee Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley). As Lawrence doesn't approve of Chrissie's choice of fiancé, he is determined to thwart their plans to tie the knot.

Speaking of the drama to come, Bowe explained: "Lawrence is a man who does the wrong thing for the right reasons. A lot of the things that he does are because of his love for his family.

"Lawrence tries very different tacks to try to get at Robert and disrupt his relationship with Chrissie. One of the tacks will be through Katie, and one of the tacks will be through Andy.

"There are other things that Lawrence tries to use too. It may look awful, but he's doing it because he loves his daughter and he doesn't want her to marry this guy."

Lawrence was sent to prison many years ago after Edna reported him for having an affair with her husband Harold, when homosexuality was still illegal. Once Lawrence was released, he focused on becoming a successful businessman and also found love with a woman. He is now a devoted father to two daughters, but his wife has since died.

Bowe continued: "We didn't go into great detail about what happened when Lawrence was in prison, probably because the show goes out at 7pm, but in those days the aversion therapy was horrendous. How awful to think of what we were still doing then in the early '60s. We've come a long way since then, but Lawrence went through a tough time in prison.

"What appealed to me was that Lawrence is a complex and likeable man with this very extraordinary background. In spite of his relationship with Edna's husband and the ordeal he faced afterwards, he came out of prison and was determined to make something of his life.

"He met a woman who he fell in love with deeply and they had two beautiful daughters. Lawrence has never hidden his past from his family - he's been upfront."

Bowe previously starred on Coronation Street, playing Duggie Ferguson between 1999 and 2002. His other previous credits include roles in Prime Suspect, Silent Witness and DCI Banks.

Speaking of his new role as Lawrence, he enthused: "It's one of the happiest jobs I've done and I've only been here two months. The cast and crew are fantastic. It's a hard slog sometimes if you've got a big story running, and I was a little unnerved when I read the breakdown and saw that 11 people had died at Home Farm!

"This is very different to my role in Coronation Street. That was nearly 15 years ago and I was at a very different point in my career. Corrie was great, though it was a funny experience. When I discussed it with the producers, I was going to be there for four or five years, and after two years they pulled the plug. It was strange, but you can't ever bank on anything.

"What I loved about this role was that Emmerdale's producer Kate Oates sent me a really detailed breakdown of the character which ran over several A4 pages. That's what sold it to me, really, because the man is so complex. That's what attracted me - the complexity of Lawrence's character.

"The historical point that I brought up when I met Kate was, 'How many other actors have owned the Rovers Return and Home Farm?!' It's different but wonderful. I can't stress enough that it really is the most wonderful job and they're the most fantastic company."

Emmerdale introduces the new Home Farm family on Thursday, October 23 at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.

Emmerdale bosses are planning to revisit the troubled history of Home Farm boss Lawrence White later this year.

Lawrence was sent to prison many years ago after Edna Birch (Shirley Stelfox) reported him to the police for having an affair with her husband Harold, when homosexuality was still illegal. Once Lawrence was released, he focused on becoming a successful businessman and also found love with a woman.

John Bowe as Lawrence White

The wealthy newcomer's background was explored when he first arrived on screen last September. While Lawrence's storylines have since focused on his family life, the show will delve back into his past in future plots.

Lawrence's story will be topical as popular stars like Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Fry have recently been involved in a public campaign asking the government to pardon 49,000 men who were prosecuted for being gay.

Emmerdale's producer Kate Oates commented: "I really love John Bowe in the role of Lawrence and I think that character has got a great backstory, which we will visit again.

"Obviously that's really timely at the moment, with Benedict Cumberbatch campaigning for everyone to be pardoned who was in that situation. It's quite ironic that we had that backstory and then all of this happens, so we couldn't have had better timing really!"

Discussing the introduction of the White family as replacements for the Macey clan, Oates added: "I think they've settled in really well. They really fit well in Home Farm, which is a difficult place to populate.

"I was really sad when Jason Merrells wanted to leave the show because I really liked Declan and I thought that him with Charity at Home Farm worked really well, but obviously if someone makes that decision to leave, it gives you a free reign.

"It was great to bring Robert back and it's nice that he's gone from being a Sugden core character member to basically owning the big house, albeit through his father-in-law!"

Lawrence White won't be bowing out from Emmerdale anytime soon, as actor John Bowe has signed a new contract to stay on the show.

The 65-year-old first appeared on the soap last year, with the rest of his on-screen family joining shortly after.

Bowe told Inside Soap that he and his real-life family are now on the move, explaining: "I've just signed a new contract with Emmerdale so we are all going to be moving closer to Leeds, where it is filmed.

"We are a bit like a circus family, moving around all the time - but the kids are kind of used to it and we are loving it up here."

Bowe also heaped praise onto his on-screen family, adding that they have all become great friends.

He said: "I adore Louise [Marwood, who plays Chrissie] - she's like a real daughter to me, Tom [Atkinson, who plays Lachlan] is going to through exams at the moment just like my teenage son so I can relate to all the problems he is dealing with.

"And Ryan [Hawley, who plays Robert] is amazing. I have nothing but respect for the way that he has coped with the challenge of his storylines during the last year. They've thrown the kitchen sink at him.

"As the older man of the group, and having done jobs like this before, I have tried to take them under my wing. We all call ourselves 'Team White' and we have become great friends.

"Trust is such a huge part of acting, particularly working on something as fast-moving as soap. And we get on like a house on fire - all of us."

There is more trouble on the horizon for the White family on Emmerdale when Lawrence is falsely accused of assault next week.

The story kicks off after Kerry Wyatt gives Connor - a man she thinks is a reporter - directions to Home Farm.

Once he arrives at the estate, Connor kicks a stable door off its hinges before regaining his composure and heading towards the house.

Lawrence (John Bowe) immediately becomes suspicious of Connor when he introduces himself as an odd job man, explaining that he heard about the Enterprise Awards and wanted to impress Lawrence with his enthusiastic attitude.

Things later take a darker turn when Connor arrives at Home Farm covered in bruises and tells Lawrence he was beaten up because he's gay.

Able to relate to his ordeal, Lawrence feels sorry for him and offers to clean him up. However, it becomes apparent that all is not as it seems when Connor leaves a blooded tissue in a waste bin as Lawrence takes pity on him and gives him £300 .

Later, Bernice Blackstock plucks up the courage to ask Lawrence if he's gay, but they're interrupted by the police and Lawrence is horrified to learn of Connor's accusations of assault.

A devastated Lawrence is surprised when Robert Sugden learns what has happened and vows to help him, but when Lawrence talks to his solicitor about the assault, he reiterates that the problem of his son-in-law still exists and needs sorting quickly.

With Lawrence's future looking increasingly bleak, Robert suggests that he could do some digging on Connor, but will Lawrence allow Robert to help him, and is Robert's help actually genuine?

Emmerdale airs these scenes next week on ITV.

Emmerdale spoilers: Lawrence will be rejected by Bernice after Robert shooting confession

By Daniel Kilkelly
Tuesday, Sep 22 2015, 00:01 BST

Emmerdale's Lawrence White will be rejected by his partner Bernice Blackstock next week after he confesses to the shooting of Robert Sugden.

A major new storyline for the ITV soap will see Robert (Ryan Hawley) gunned down in the village by a mystery assailant, leaving everyone to wonder who the ruthless culprit was.

Robert collapses to the floor with a gunshot wound

Lawrence's daughter Chrissie will quickly become the prime suspect in the case thanks to a false statement that Eric Pollard has given to implicate her. In response, Lawrence jumps straight to her defence by claiming that the shooter was actually him.

Lawrence's apparent confession lands him in a prison cell and doesn't go down too well with Bernice (Samantha Giles), who hands his engagement ring back just days after agreeing to marry him.

Teasing the drama ahead, John Bowe - who plays Lawrence - commented: "Lawrence is devastated when Bernice hands the ring back. She's the one good thing to come into his life through his resettlement in the village and all of the angst and horror that's happened to the family throughout the year.

"Lawrence has met someone who reminds him of his wife and gives him the same feelings. Bernice is a great companion and great fun to be with. She makes him laugh and makes him feel good inside. Now that's being ruined."

Bernice and Chrissie visit Lawrence

Expressing hope that the pair can work it out, Bowe continued: "Samantha is the best person to work with. If there's a possibility where you're going to be thrust into working closely with someone - possibly for some years ahead - I couldn't have wished for it to be anybody other than Samantha.

"I have total respect for her ability as an actress and her skill in comedy. What's great about this coupling is that Sam's going to get the opportunity to play tragedy, and I'm going to get the opportunity to play more comedy. There's some stuff that's in the can already that I think the viewers are going to love."

While it seems that Lawrence is only confessing to the shooting to save Chrissie, he remains on the suspect list and could still be the real culprit.

Asked whether he thinks Lawrence is really capable of attempted murder, Bowe replied: "Yes I do - absolutely. Especially after what he went through in his early life, way back in the 60s, which is shortly to be revealed on screen. People will find out soon that he has a very thin skin and it won't take much to pierce it. He could lose it completely.

"He also definitely thinks that Robert had it coming. I love Ryan Hawley dearly - we joined the show roughly at the same time. I think he's a damned fine actor too.

"But I do worry about how he can ever possibly be redeemed for some of the horrors that he has performed, both on my family and the village! He deserves the shooting just for the stuff that he's done to Lawrence! Let's hope the writers can find a redeeming quality, otherwise Ryan's in a cul-de-sac at the moment!"

Lawrence should be the one to shoot Robert, says Emmerdale actor John Bowe

"Now it's time for the latent fury of Lawrence to awaken and deal with the weasel that is Robert"

By David Brown
Tuesday 22 September 2015 at 12:52PM

Emmerdale star John Bowe says that he hopes his character Lawrence White will be the one to wreak revenge on Robert Sugden by shooting him.

"Lawrence's decency and ability to forgive has made him look gullible at times over the past year or so," says the actor. "Now it's time for the latent fury of Lawrence to awaken and deal with the weasel that is Robert - to protect his beloved daughter Chrissie, his whole family, his business and his honour."

Businessman Lawrence has become increasingly infuriated by Robert, ever since it was revealed that he'd been having an illicit affair with Aaron.

But the final straw comes when Robert admits to having set Lawrence up with rent boy Connor. Will this be enough to make Lawrence want to pull the trigger?

"Lawrence wants to shoot Robert because he has ruined his daughter's life, interfered in his grandson's life and tormented him for too long. For over a year in fact. Since the family moved to Emmerdale.

"For many years Lawerence had accelerated Robert’s advance within his company, partly because he regarded him as the son he never had and partly because he reminded him of his younger self, which stimulated his affection for him.

"But then he started trampling all over his family and gorging himself on his perverted needs. Robert is a manipulator. He's power mad, selfish - a taker not a giver!"

And is Bowe looking forward to finding out the identity of the mystery assailant? "Bring on the reveal. Whoever has done the deed gets my support and congratulations. Maybe that's me!"

(Article includes my underlining)

Only those actors involved in the crucial scenes usually have any knowledge about the setting and action on Emmerdale. The other actors are usually kept in the dark on a 'no need to know' basis. So, this interview from John Bowe suggests that Lawrence's script doesn't include content about the revealing of the 'mystery assailant'. However, maybe he gave the gun and bracelet from Home Farm safe to someone to carry out the shooting for him later?

I am confused by this whole Lawrence thing. Is he gay and using Bernice as a cover? He won't even kiss her. Has all the stuff that has happened recently maybe reignited his feelings for men, rather than trying to hide them?
I know it's not real, but it is sad to think in real life, there will be people his age who are gay but can't be themselves due to growing up in a time were it was despised.

It was despised and an imprisonable offence.
If story does nothing else -I hope it makes
people who have never talked to men of
Lawrences age **-realise what it was like to be gay
with no real freedom to.say so.And the threat
of prison in the background.

Re Lawrence -He was gay as a young man
and I think thats his strongest drive and why
he became involved with Ednas husband.

He did marry and have a family but I think
that was for "respectability".Some gay men
did that . Generally there was less sex before
marriage in those days -so it was less likely
that the bride would realise the grooms
true sexuality til later. If they picked a naive
girl or a woman to whom such a relationship
was accepttable.
When people get older -feelings theyve hidden
for years may surface.

**p.s.- homosexuality was "legalised " in England
in 1967 but not in Scotland & NI til 1980s.
There are a lot of gay men aged mid 60s and
above.who lived through those times who are
still living. My info/impressions has been gained
a couple of decades later from older male
colleagues who would somtimes say how it was
and how if felt before legalisation.

I feel he is gay/bi, married to 'do the right thing' and now has been alone so long he is reluctant and unsure of how to behave with a partner?

I had a gay friend who said her greatest regret was not finding a husband and having 2.4 kids? As to be 'normal' would have been so much easier and accepted

This was in the 90's where even in London, shouting at , spitting at and a bit of roughing up of gay women was the norm from men? let alone what it must have been like for gay men?

He seems conflicted about his sexuality simply bizarre that Bernice will be with a guy who does not want to have sex with her. Sex is an important part of a relationship. Lawrence seems so upset about being attracted to men he clearly is sexually attracted to Aaron, Robert, and Connor. I think the show should make Aaron and Lawrence sleep together.

"make Aaron?!!!" doesnt he get any say?

Laurence is 70+ at least -or he would be too
young to have gone to prison for homosexual
acts-(which he did - to.protect Ednas husband)
Edna herself is mid 70s -so.her husband same

I dont think.I know any/many 20+ year olds who
would find someone 70+ sexually attractive?
whatever their sexuality?

If Lawrence is attracted to much younger
people (men)-which I agree it looks like
he is.-then surely he is as free as a straight
person would be- not to act on those
feelings?
The people who.fought to have homosexuality
legalised** - wanted the freedom to be gay-
without the threat of prison! Not for it to
be compulsory! And to have.Equality!

**as Ive mentioned on another post -
some were work.colleagues who

I think Serena means because these are fictional characters. None of them get any say.

I agree, Bernice and Lawrence is an odd enough pair, even taking out the fact that he is gay. Chrissie must be about the same age as Bernice and Aaron is even younger.

That would only work if Aaron was in it for money - I don't think he'd ever be that desperate.

I agree that they wouldnt get a say and the SWs
do make strange pairings in all the soaps -**
regardless of sexuality but Lawrence and Aaron
did seem very strange even by those standards!

Did think of money angle -which is often( but
not always( a factor in relationships with a
big age difference!

Per wiki - Aaron was born 1992 -so 23
Bernice born Dec 1968 so nearly 47.

To have gone to prison before Homosexuality
was legalised Lawrence would have to be
at least 70-ish.

I think they should give more details of
Lawrences back story - how old when
married and how long marriage lasted.
It would be interesting and perhaps
explain if the marriage was for conventional
respectability or if there was more to it.
Also cast light on his current attitudes perhaps!

**usually depends on who is unattached at
the time rather than compatability!

Lawrence White, character summary up to about July 2015
>
Name: Lawrence White
Born: About 1945
Spouse: Unknown Woman (Until 2011)
Children: Chrissie White, Rebecca White
Occupation: Farm Machinery Dealer (Owner at Lawrence White Farming Machinery)
Acted by: John Bowe (65yo, DOB: 01/02/50)

Lawrence White was born in about 1945 in Beckindale. He knew the Verney family who owned Home Farm when he was a child. He was once chased away by the gamekeeper for stealing fish on the estate. In his late teens in about 1962/1963 he was good friends with Harold Birch and soon established a relationship. Harold's wife Edna Birch reported Lawrence to the police and he was sent to prison as homosexuality was a crime in those days. Lawrence was tortured in prison for being gay, and even was given electric shock treatment to change him. When he was released in about 1964, Lawrence and Harold then pretended that Lawrence had died.

Lawrence later married a woman and had a daughter Chrissie White in about 1979. He had another daughter Rebecca White, after Chrissie. Lawrence's wife died in 2011.

In September 2014, Sandy Thomas did some research into Lawrence and found a Lawrence White who ran an agricultural business a few miles away. Lawrence was believed to have died 50 years ago. Sandy, Paddy Kirk and Aaron Livesy visited Lawrence and when they asked the receptionist to see him, Lawrence overheard them mentioning Harold Birch.

In October 2014, Lawrence bought Home Farm. He is very disapproving of his future son in law Robert Sugden. Lawrence mentioned how he knew the Verney family as a boy.

In July 2015, Lawrence went on a blind date with Bernice Blackstock.

Chrissie White's ongoing mission to prove whether Lawrence is her biological father reached a heartbreaking conclusion in Emmerdale last night as her worst fears were confirmed.

Chrissie (Louise Marwood) was left doubting her true paternity earlier this year after Lawrence opened up over his complicated past.

Lawrence had an open relationship with Chrissie's mother - much like he now has with Bernice - leaving Chrissie to ponder if he was the man who actually fathered her.

Chrissie has been determined to get answers ever since and has even been pursuing a DNA test. However, after chasing him for a sample, Lawrence was forced to come clean and confess that she didn't need one as he already knew the truth.

Lawrence then explained to a devastated Chrissie that it was impossible for him to be her biological father and he has always known he wasn't, but insisted that he loved her like his own regardless.

The bombshell will undoubtedly leave Chrissie with more mountains to climb, but where does it leave her relationship with Lawrence?

I really felt sorry for Lawrence when he burst into tears in Wednesday's episode. Regardless of anything else you could say about him, he loves his family. After his terrible experience in prison, he put his past behind him to have a family and try and feel "normal" in the society he lived in, and now it's all coming crashing down. I really wish Chrissie had just left things alone.

Home Farm boss Lawrence White will find an ally in Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale tonight (July 15) as he struggles to cope with everyone knowing the truth about his relationship with Ronnie Hale.

Having lashed out at his ex-lover, Lawrence will start to direct his anger at his estranged wife Bernice as he angrily shoots a picture of her.

Witnessing all the commotion, a terrified Sam Dingle calls on Aaron for help in a panicked text. When Aaron arrives, he wrestles the shotgun from a broken Lawrence, before attempting to give him some much-needed advice about what to do next.

A sensible Aaron tries to convince Lawrence that he can be happy if he accepts who he is and stops lying to himself.

Sadly, Aaron's advice falls on deaf ears as Lawrence warns him that people don't change, suggesting Robert won't either. Can anyone get through to Lawrence? Or will he continue to spiral out of control?

Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.

Emmerdale actor John Bowe has revealed that he is leaving the ITV soap, and that he doesn't have a say in the matter.

The actor, who plays Lawrence White, took to Twitter to share the news.

"Emotional chat with @ChrisChittell earlier. I'm still upset. What a first class decent chap he is. As with everyone I'm going to miss him," he tweeted.

Fans were confused at first, believing that Bowe was referring to Chittell (who plays Eric Pollard) stepping down from the show, but told a fan that it was the "other way round".

"I'm going to miss him and everyone," he said, before telling another fan that leaving wasn't his decision.

"Not my decision. #actorslife," he tweeted.

A spokesperson for Emmerdale told Digital Spy: "We never comment on storyline speculation or actors' contracts."

Earlier this month, rumours began to swirl that Lawrence would be murdered by his grandson Lachlan, in a storyline that would also see Emma Barton written out of the show.

The rumoured storyline was set to play out in the run-up to Christmas, and although bosses believed the murders would "change" the soap, Bowe was unhappy about being killed off, as he was in Coronation Street.

An ITV spokesperson declined to comment on the rumours at the time, and it is important to note that Bowe does not specifically mention any storyline in his tweets, but did say: "I believe the information is in the public domain."

"Sorry. Contractually I'm not allowed to discuss storylines, contracts etc. Jx", he added.

Lawrence White’s life is about to take a dramatic turn in Emmerdale as an interview on a radio show leads to a shocking allegation being raised against him. But what is he being accused of and could the claim be set to ruin his life?
Fans already know that John Bowe is set to bow out of his role as Lawrence later this year in a shocking storyline that may see him shot dead by his unstable grandson Lachlan. So could this radio interview be the catalyst for his huge downfall?
When Lawrence is obliviously chatting on local radio, a caller phones in and makes the claim and Lawrence is left reeling.
We can’t reveal what the caller says – or whether what they allege about Lawrence is true – but we can confirm that this is the start of a dramatic time for the Home Farm patriarch.
Can Ronnie Hale and his family support him through the difficult times ahead – or could they discover that they don’t really know Lawrence at all?

3: Chrissie gets framed for their murders as well as Finn's murder and gets sent to prison

4: Rebecca finds out about Robert and Lawrence being in bed together , she disowns her father and then takes off with the baby

5: Robert completes his mission by destroying Lawrence and his family, Lawrence leaves the village, Robert sells Home Farm to Tom Waterhouse and Graham Foster { the two guys Debbie Dingle has a storyline with }

Emmerdale producer Iain MacLeod has teased a "spectacular" and "intense" exit story for the White family, and to be honest, we wouldn't have expected anything less.

Speaking to TV Times, Iain teased high drama – and even death – when talking about the family's planned exit in the next few months.

"There's been speculation there could be a death as part of their exit story, but I don't want to reveal too much," he hinted.

"We are doing something spectacular in January and the Whites will be a major part of that. It'll be one of the most intense rollercoaster months we've ever had."

While it's not yet confirmed whether Chrissie or Lachlan will be leaving Home Farm along with Rebecca and Lawrence, we can bet that if they do, Robert Sugden has something to do with it.

Fortunately for Robron fans, though, Robert is expected to undergo some sort of redemption following his dark plot to take control over the Whites' estate.

Opening up about his new role as a dad to his and Rebecca's son – and the inevitable reunion with Aaron – Iain added that "a major turning point" is coming for the character.

"Being a parent changes you profoundly, Robert feels he's let down the memory of his own dad, Jack Sugden."
