Emmerdale star Adam Thomas has revealed that his character Adam Barton will be torn when he learns of Vanessa Woodfield's shock pregnancy.
Scenes airing next week see Vanessa discover that she is expecting a baby, leaving her in turmoil as she doesn't know whether the father is Adam or her boyfriend Kirin Kotecha.
Adam and Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) had a one-night stand late last month while separated from their respective partners. Both of their romances are now back on track, but Vanessa's baby bombshell could change everything.
Speaking of the pregnancy drama to come, Thomas explained: "Adam can't believe it. Vanessa turns up and tells him that he has to decide right now - is he going to be the dad or is he going to keep his mouth shut and they'll pretend it's definitely Kirin's?
"There is doubt about whether Adam is the father or not, but Vanessa is saying that whether he is or he isn't, he's got to decide what to do now. But if Adam says he is the dad, that's him and Victoria over.
"It's a massive shock to the system because he's just got back with Victoria and everything's sorted. So this is another spanner in the works - once you get out of one problem in soap, you get into another one. So we'll see how it goes!"
Asked whether Adam would make a good father, the actor replied: "Adam wants to be a father one day, but I don't know whether now's the time. He'd want to be the best dad he can be. He's been through a lot and he's done a lot of growing up.
"In the end, Adam doesn't want to pretend to not be the dad. It's like a vicious circle because Adam has been in a similar situation in his own life. He thinks about that and has second thoughts, because he doesn't want to have that same effect on his child that he went through with James."
Thomas added that the story will run for a while as Vanessa is keen to keep the baby.
He said: "It's going to take nine months and I think there'll be a lot of ups and downs along the way. I've just read a few scripts now that are really good. It's not going to be an easy pregnancy, I don't think!"
Emmerdale's Adam Barton is left devastated in the New Year as he finally discovers that he's not the father of baby Johnny.
The shocking truth is revealed after Johnny's mum Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) secretly organises another DNA test after getting a clue to the youngster's true paternity.
Vanessa is left with reason to doubt the result of the original test when she spots a strange mark on Johnny's back. When she calls in a nurse to check it out, she hears that it's a type of birth mark which is very rare in Caucasian children.

Vanessa doubts Adam is her baby's father
Curious over what this could mean, Vanessa uses a DNA testing kit to take a swab of Adam's bottle top. A few days later, the results come back and rule Adam out as the dad - meaning that the father must actually be Kirin Kotecha.
Vanessa knows that she has to do the right thing by revealing the truth to both men, but Adam's upset reaction will drive him to very extreme measures.
Adam Thomas, who plays him, teased: "Adam is not going to be happy. He's been there for Johnny through the whole thing, as far back as when Johnny was fighting for his life in hospital.
"When Adam finds out, he could do something very, very, very silly. Adam doesn't tend to think about things, he just reacts. I think he's more hurt than anything but at first he refuses to take it on board, because he's in denial a little bit.
"In Adam's eyes, Johnny is his son. I don't know how anyone could deal with having that taken away from them. I've got a son of my own and I can't imagine anyone turning around to me and saying: 'He's not yours'. It's going to be a massive thing for Adam."

Vanessa tells Adam that he is not the father of her baby
Revealing more about what's ahead, Thomas continued: "Adam goes off the rails a little bit - as you do in soap! I'd like to think that Adam will still want to be part of Johnny's life, because he does love him. I don't think that will ever change, but obviously he's got to give some way for Kirin because he is the dad and it's going to be hard for him too.
"I'd like to see what happens between Kirin and Adam and if it comes to blows between them. That'd be interesting."

Vanesa tells Kirin that he is her baby's father
As all parties involved deal with the repercussions, Kirin's father Rakesh knows that it's only a matter of time before he gets caught out for tampering with the original DNA results.
On what could happen when the full story comes out, Thomas laughed: "Adam won't let Rakesh get away with this. I hope I get to lay him out!"
Emmerdale airs Adam's discovery on Thursday, January 7 at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.

Emmerdale's Adam Thomas might be switching the farm for the jungle if these latest rumours are anything to go by.
Adam - who conveniently enough plays Adam in the ITV soap - is reportedly in talks to appear on the upcoming series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
According to The Mirror, the 27-year-old actor is being lined up to be the eye candy of the jungle.
Adam has been part of the Emmerdale cast since 2009. He previously played Donte Charles in BBC One's Waterloo Road.
And he's no stranger to reality TV, making a brief cameo on Love Island last month to give his twin brother Scott some home truths about Kady.
Meanwhile, Adam isn't the only Thomas brother being lined up for a reality TV series this year, as his older brother Ryan - known for playing Jason Grimshaw in Coronation Street - is being tipped for Strictly Come Dancing too.
Other celebs rumoured for this year's line-up include former UKIP leader Nigel Farage, Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews and TOWIE's James "Arg" Argent.
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! will return to ITV later this year.

So how would he leave the farm for a while?
Adam Thomas has a surprising request for his Emmerdale bosses - he wants his alter-ego Adam Barton to come out as gay.
The actor reckons that the gay characters "get good storylines" - and therefore would like Adam to have a romance with a man.
"Whoever's gay seems to get a good storyline so I'm hoping Adam turns gay," he said to The Sun. "I'm putting it out there. I'm not bothered about snogging another guy - I love guys."
"I've not kissed a guy yet, but there's a first time for everything. If you're gonna go there, go there. Life is a celebration. Make each day count, as they said in Titanic."
Emmerdale viewers will know that Thomas's character Adam is currently married to Victoria Sugden - and so his story request could come with a few complications.
Thomas took a break from the soap last year to compete in reality show I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, where he finished third.
Away from the soap, Adam is engaged to actress Caroline Daley and the pair are parents to their 2-year old son Teddy.

Adam just reeks of desperation and attention.
First he goes to I'm A Celeb and now this.
He's not that strong of an actor so all this over-promo for this guy really makes me dislike him.
