Jimmy King's life set for mayhem as Emmerdale villain returns after 10 years in 'explosive' storyline

Jimmy King’s life looks set to be turned upside down with a former Emmerdale villain set to return to the soap.

The Sun reports Thomas King, the son of killer Carl King, is heading back to Emmerdale to reunite with his uncle Jimmy King. Newcomer James Chase has reportedly been signed up to play the returning character.

Although, Emmerdale has yet to confirm the return of the character previously played by Mark Flanagan. When Thomas was last in the village he stalked and harassed Carl's ex Chas, after she was thought to have murdered his dad.

He also dated Belle despite their families being against the romance, leading to a plan to run away together.

Eventually he changed his mind and left without her and hasn't been seen since.

The character’s return, after 10 years, is being teased as ‘explosive’.

Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed: "Tom’s return is going to be explosive. He shocks his uncle Jimmy when he returns to the village and it’s not clear why he’s back.
