Former Coronation Street star Oliver Farnworth will soon be swapping the cobbles for the Dales as he joins the cast of Emmerdale.
Oliver Farnworth previously played Andy Carver in Coronation Street, departing the soap in 2017 after Pat Phelan took pleasure in killing the character.
But now, the star is crossing over to the Emmerdale village to take on the role of John Sugden.

Who is Oliver Farnworth playing in Emmerdale?
Oliver will play newcomer John Sugden and will shake things up for Victoria Sugden – one of the only remaining members of the Sugden family in the village.
The character is being described as ‘brooding and mysterious’ and he will become deeply entwined with the rich history of the Sugden family.
However, John will also have his secrets… It is currently unclear what relation he is to Victoria.
Furthermore, ‘he’ll also catch the eye of an unsuspecting resident, enriching the drama around his arrival.’
Viewers will get to see him on screen in August.
