Emmerdale's Fred Kettle breaks silence on Dylan's return
Fred Kettle, who played troubled teen Dylan Penders, will head back to the village and has teased 'trouble'.
Dylan played a vital role as April Windsor's friend when she ran away from home, and fans were gutted when he left.
Speaking to The Mirror, Fred said he couldn't wait to be back on the ITV soap.

'It is going to be a nice journey for Dylan, given his experiences. But he is going to cause a bit of bother in the village."
Fred also shared how happy he was to have the backing of fans, after they enjoyed his debut earlier this year.
Dylan was first introduced as a friend of April Windsor, who she met while living on the streets.
He later arrived in the village in an attempt to get clean from drugs and was last seen in March, on his way to rehab.
In recent weeks, Emmerdale newcomer Joe Absolom, formerly of EastEnders fame, confirmed a "dark storyline" surrounding Dylan's return to Digital Spy.
Fred also confirmed that there would be some new characters tied into his return.
He said: 'Watch this space. I can't wait for fans to see what happens. It will be interesting to see his return and how the plot develops.
'But we'll just have to watch and find out."
Actress Amelia Flanagan, who plays April, also had shared that she was excited to film with Fred once more.
Emmerdale boss Laura Shaw had previously told The Mirror what's ahead for Dylan.
She said: "The lovely Fred Kettle who played Dylan is coming back to the show. He is going to be bringing his past back to the village with him and that's going to cause huge problems for April and the family there.
"We've got a couple of exciting new castings who are going to be joining us for that story, but I can't tell you who they are yet but watch this space. It's very exciting."
Fans react to Dylan returning
Earlier this year soap fans were quick to take to social media in support of Dylan – even suggesting he could be a long lost Dingle relative.
Now, they await his on-screen return.

One person commented on X: 'And lovely Dylan is returning #Emmerdale."
'Dylan seems likeable enough but he's still a stranger to Marlon,' another added in reference to April's father.
Others said: 'Dylan actually seems like a decent lad.'
'I notice they're bringing Dylan back next week! Wouldn't it be funny if Dylan ended being a long lost Dingle!'

EastEnders' Kat uncovers the truth about missing Alfie - and she seeks answers
EastEnders' Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) is on the warpath after uncovering the truth about husband Alfie Moon's (Shane Richie) whereabouts – and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) had better watch her back! Alfie and Stacey have been hiding an absolute whopper of a secret from Kat, after Kat's estranged daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) made a sudden and unexpected reappearance after 20 years. Kat currently has no idea that Alfie and Stacey saw a somewhat troubled Zoe earlier this month, before she ran off, insisting that reaching out to them was a mistake as she wants nothing to do with her mum. After learning that Zoe had fled to Barcelona, Alfie left Walford to track her down, determined to give Kat a long-awaited reunion with her youngest child. However, he covered his tracks by telling Kat he was heading to Australia to visit his brother Spencer Moon (Christopher Parker), claiming Spencer was still broken-hearted following his split from Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig). But in scenes to air this week, Kat cottons on to Alfie's lies, leaving their recent marriage in a perilous way. After Stacey arrives back in Walford, she acts shiftily around Kat – and when Alfie also starts dodging her calls, Kat becomes increasingly convinced that the pair are hiding something. But Kat soon has other things on her mind when she discovers that son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) and his friend Joel Marshall (Max Murray) have stolen vapes from the Minute Mart.

Missing Emmerdale character returns in ITVX release
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX. Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) has finally returned to the Emmerdale village. The beloved character was missing from the show for a while, and sparked concern in April when she failed to show up to her birthday party. Kim Tate (Claire King) decided to organise a big do at her home for Lydia, the cleaner and her best friend. Unfortunately though, as the hours ticked by, it became more and more apparent that Lydia wasn't going to make it back from her mum's. Last month, Sam Dingle (James Hooton), Lydia's husband, confirmed to his family members that she wouldn't be returning anytime soon. He revealed that her mum is still really sick, so she'll be away for a good few more weeks – but potentially longer. In tonight's episode though, things finally changed as Lydia wandered into the café, ready for an overdue catch-up with her friend Kim. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Only 15% can answer tricky maths puzzle correctly despite 'simple' solution
A tricky maths question has been leaving people scratching their heads as only 15% can answer it correctly, but it actually has a simple solution. Can you solve it? You'll need to be one of the smartest 15% in the country to answer this maths question correctly. Brainteasers and other puzzles are a fantastic way to make sure you keep your mind in tip-top shape, which can boost cognitive function and help keep degenerative diseases such as dementia at bay. There is a wide array of puzzles that work different areas of your brain, and as much as it's a disliked subject by many, maths is a great way to exercise several areas at once. Recently, a maths question was posed on the ITV game show The 1% Club, where it was claimed only 15% of people would be able to answer it correctly. In the TV show, contestants must answer questions that get increasingly harder as they drop in percentage. They begin with questions that 90% of people should get right, and descend all the way down to the fiendishly difficult 1% question. This particular maths puzzle, which was shared on TikTok, was the 15% question on a recent episode and left many people confused as they struggled to work out the answer. Do you think you've got what it takes to solve it? The question, as posed by host Lee Mack, was this: "What three consecutive numbers add up to 3,000?" While it might seem like a simple maths sum, there's more to it than that. The puzzle asks for consecutive numbers, which means you can't just pick three random numbers, and you can't use the same number twice. For example, the answer isn't "1,000 + 1,500 + 500", as although that does equal 3,000, the numbers are not consecutive. All three numbers must follow one another in order for the answer to be correct, such as 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Have you worked it out yet? If not, here's a hint for you: Think about the most obvious way you'd get to 3,000 using three digits if they could all be the same. Is there anything you can change about those digits to get you to the right answer? If you're still working it out, don't scroll any further, as we're about to give you the solution. Answer If all your digits were allowed to be the same, then the most obvious solution would be 1,000 + 1,000 + 1,000, right? These are not consecutive numbers, but you can make them consecutive by changing just one thing. Taking one away from the first 1,000 and adding it to the last 1,000 gives you the correct answer: 999 + 1,000 + 1,001. This is the only way to get to 3,000 using three consecutive numbers. Commenters on the TikTok video were left baffled by the puzzle. Some claimed it was "easy" for a 15% question, while others said it left them stumped - and some even gave completely wrong answers. One person confidently said: "900, 1,000, and 11,000. Come on people, it's got to add up to 3,000." Their incorrect answer prompted someone else to respond: "At first, I was confused as to why this was only a 15% question, but after reading through the comment section, I understand now."
