James Sutton has left Hollyoaks and is on his way to ITV’s Emmerdale and he has been speaking about his new role.

Sutton will soon make his debut as unemployed mechanic Ryan Lamb, Faye Lamb’s son, in Emmerdale.

James told MSN: “He’s a bit of a lad’s lad, he’s quite blokey, he likes a pint and he’s a mechanic, an out of work mechanic – he’s lost his job so he moves up to sponge off his mum for a bit.”

He went on: “He doesn’t have a dad – or doesn’t think he has a dad. So that’s all kind of being explored.”

However given the fact that his mum was once married to uber rich Mark, could he be his dad?

“Well, that seems to be the way the storyline is going,” revealed James. “I know there’s been a lot of speculation so you’ll just have to wait and see, really.”
