Emmerdale star Samantha Giles has hinted a blast from the past could be coming to the village for Bernice Blackstock.
The Bernice actress, 50, has teased the arrival of the hairdresser’s ex-husband Charlie.
Soap fans know Bernice left the village in 2019 to reunite with Charlie in Australia.
It was only when he got back together with another ex that she came crawling back to her family in the Dales.
But with the lack of men in the village, Samantha thinks it’s only a matter of time until Charlie arrives.

Speaking to Inside Soap, she said: “I think it’s good that Bernice is single for a while, but I would like them to bring her ex-husband Charlie in.
“We could do with a few more men in Emmerdale! I think Charlie sounds like a male version of Bernice, so that would be really interesting.
“Remember, she was married to him for a really long time off-screen.”

Meanwhile Bernice is in for a shock soon when her mum Diane decides to leave the village for good.
Next week Bernice will discover her mum is planning to flee with pregnant granddaughter Gabby to save her from Kim Tate.
When Gabby is pressured by Kim to draw up a will leaving her custody of her unborn child should she dies, it alarms her.
And when she discovers Kim trying to get custody of Millie – she realises she isn’t safe.
