Eddie Osei plays Victor (Picture: ITV)
Charles Anderson (Kevin Mathurin) had us curious this week in Emmerdale as it became apparent that he had something on his mind.
The something – or someone – was his dad, Victor (Eddie Osei), who made his arrival tonight.
Charles arrived outside a prison and saw his dad approaching. Described as an ‘enigmatic character’ with a ‘mysterious past’ and ‘deep connections within the village’, Victor has been released after 25 years behind bars – and we don’t know anything about why he was put in prison.
The dynamic between Charles and his dad was tense during their meeting. Charles made comments about how much he’s changed since Victor has been in jail, and his dad sarcastically said how happy he is for him after ‘everything that happened before’.

The chat didn’t tell us much about Charles and Victor’s past together, but we saw that darker side to the vicar when he told his dad to stay away from his family – something that previously happened when Alex (Liam Boyle) caused a nightmare for Dawn (Olivia Bromley), Billy (Jay Kontzle) and Naomi (Karene Peters).
With Victor now out of prison, it won’t be long until he arrives in the village, but what will that mean for Charles?
And what will Claudette (Flo Wilson) make of her ex-husband’s arrival?

Discussing this newcomer, Emmerdale Producer, Hannah Cheers, said:
‘Victor’s arrival in Emmerdale turns life for the Andersons upside down. The brilliant addition of Eddie Osei as Victor has allowed us to learn more about who the Andersons are, and we can’t wait for the audience to watch as the drama unfolds.

‘While Claudette is confronted by the husband, she prayed she’d 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?’
Eddie Osei added: ‘I 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!’.
