Emmerdale: Charles wants Victor to leave

Charles received a mysterious phone call recently and started acting suspiciously. It was clear that something was getting to him.

Later on, Charles turned up outside of the prison and met up with his dad, Victor.

Victor was shocked to see that Charles was now a vicar, explaining that he too was now a man of God.

Charles demanded that Victor stayed away from the village but later on he ignored Charles’ request and turned up.

Naomi immediately took a shine to him frustrating Charles who then revealed that Victor was a dangerous man who had done time for a gun robbery when he was younger.

Charles then told Victor that he must leave the village and leave his family alone, despite Victor claiming that he was now a changed man.
