Charles (Kevin Mathurin) and Ethan (Emile John)
Emmerdale is to welcome a new father-son duo to the village, vicar Charles and his son Ethan, who are set to debut in the coming months.
Charles will be played by Kevin Mathurin (The One and Only Ivan, Rillington Place), while Ethan will be portrayed by up-and-coming actor Emile John.
Vicar Charles is to be an instant hit with the villagers of Emmerdale and will provide great support to Harriet Finch.
His son Ethan is described as intelligent and has inherited his father's strong sense of justice and worked hard to carve himself a successful law career.
But when Charles finds that Ethan has been wrongly accused of a crime, his intense need to fight injustice means it's not long before they have a run-in with the Dingles.
Speaking about joining the Emmerdale cast, Mathurin (Charles) said: "The show has always been a family favourite and my mum is a huge fan. The cast and crew have all been so welcoming and I am really looking forward to Charles' storylines in the Village."
John described playing Ethan as "an absolute dream come true," adding: "I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility in articulating his struggle with truth and authenticity and I can only hope that the audience fully engage with him in the same way I have."
Producer Sophie Roper said of the two new cast members: "We're delighted to be welcoming Kevin and Emile to the show and this dynamic new father and son duo, are set to send shockwaves through the village as they find themselves embroiled in the heart of a thought-provoking story with one of our most loved families.
"With two actors of such great calibre, they're certainly set to make their mark on the Dales."
