Emmerdale's John Middleton joins rival soap for 'evil' role
The actor, who played the lovely village vicar, Ashley Thomas, on the ITV show from 1996 until 2017, is set to appear on Hollyoaks as a mob boss. He left the Yorkshire Dales after his character suffered a harrowing dementia storyline. Before taking on his most famous role as Ashley, he originally appeared in Emmerdale as PC John Jarvis briefly. Emmerdale star John Middleton joins Hollyoaks as 'most evil character ever' Discussing the new role on Hollyoaks for the ITV actor, a source said: "People usually think of Ashley when they see John, but that won't be happening any more, Fraser is about as far away from the kindly vicar you can get." Talking with The Sun, they added: "He's possibly the most evil character Hollyoaks has ever had - and for a village plagued by serial killers, that's saying something. Fraser will make his entrance very soon, and he's got more than one connection to the village with his twisted family already there.' When he joins the Channel 4 programme in the near future, fans will quickly come to know him as the father of notorious villain, Fraser Black, played by Jesse Birdsall. This character terrorised residents on the show before being murdered in 2014. A 'whodunnit' storyline, which went on for several months after his death, revealed that he was shot by his very own stepson, Freddie Roscoe (played by Charlie Clapham). He is also the grandfather of shady Hollyoaks characters like Clare Devine, Grace Black and Rex Gallagher. Recommended Reading: What other shows has Emmerdale star John Middleton been in?
