“You knew this day was coming, Charlie.” <\/p>

Emmerdale has revealed a brand new insight into local vicar Charles Anderson\u2019s (Kevin Mathurin) past tonight (8th June).<\/p>\n

This week, we\u2019ve seen Charles acting uncharacteristically irritable and cagey, with his outspoken mum Claudette (Flo Wilson)<\/a> following him around at the church and insulting his sermons to get noticed. With Charles\u2019 behaviour sparking concern for her, it wasn\u2019t until we saw him heading towards the prison that all became clearer.<\/p>\n

Charles came face to face with an older man called Victor (Eddie Osei), but the relationship between the two men was evidently hostile. Although Charles pointed out that he had been asked to be here, he added that \u201cwhatever this is needs stopping.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds like you\u2019re trying to tell me what to do,\u201d said Victor, as he reminded Charles how long he had just served in jail.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boy you knew, I\u2019m not that person any more,\u201d explained Charles.<\/p>

Noting that Charles is now a vicar, the man remarked that it was great he had found his place, \u201cespecially after everything that went on before\u201d.<\/p>\n

Charles went on to tell Victor to stay away, before ordering him to explain why he had got in touch. The other man eventually branded Charles as his \u201cson\u201d, filling in the first gap for us.<\/p>\n

Victor claimed he had also found God, and asked Charles if his loved ones knew who he really was. Charles insisted he wasn\u2019t to blame for Victor\u2019s prison stint, and issued a threat to stay away from his family.<\/p>\n

But what else is Charles hiding? It sounds like he may have done things he\u2019s not proud of before he became the man he is today. And can Victor be trusted?<\/p>\n

\u201cVictor\u2019s arrival in Emmerdale<\/span> turns life for the Andersons upside down,\u201d teased Emmerdale producer Hannah Cheers. \u201cThe brilliant addition of Eddie Osei as Victor has allowed us to learn more about who the Andersons are and we can\u2019t wait for the audience to watch as the drama unfolds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Claudette is confronted by the husband she prayed she\u2019d never see again, Charles has to face up to painful past traumas and he makes no secret of the fact that Victor is not welcome here. But who will win out?\u201d<\/p>\n

Who plays Victor on Emmerdale?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Eddie Osei has taken on the role of mysterious Victor, described as someone who has \u201cdeep connections in the village\u201d and a man of secrets.<\/p>\n

Viewers will recognise Osei from horror films, Dominion: Prequel of the Exorcist and Exorcist: The Beginning. He\u2019s also had his fair experience in soaps, having appeared in Doctors and EastEnders previously, too.<\/p>\n

Speaking of his new role in Emmerdale, Eddie Osei said: \u201cI feel privileged to be joining such a great show and I am honoured to be working with the fantastic cast and crew. It is very exciting for me to be playing Victor who is such an enigmatic character and who causes the Anderson family so much trouble!\u201d<\/p>\n
