Who is Emmerdale's Thomas King? Character's dark past as villain 'set for explosive comeback'

Emmerdale villain Thomas King is said to be making an "explosive return" to the ITV hit soap.

Thomas, whose dad is late killer Carl King, is apparently making a shocking comeback next month with a concerning motive - amid fan speculation he could be linked to Caleb Milligan. Soap fans will recall that Thomas, who was previously played by Mark Flanagan, terrorised the village in 2013 by stalking Chas Dingle.

He first arrived in the village in 2004 amid a huge custody battle between his parents - Carl and Colleen - as they made a decision to divorce.

The kids temporarily stayed in the village in 2010 when Colleen called on the village and left the kids with him, The Mirror reports.

When Carl and Chas decided to get married, their wedding day descended into chaos as Chas turned her back on Carl and revealed all about his affair with Eve Jenson. Thomas and Anya returned to the village in 2012, following the murder of their father.

Chas was believed to be Carl's killer and when Thomas quizzed Chas' brother Cain about what happened, he said how Carl had been attempting to rape Chas when she killed him. The revelation left Thomas devastated as he cut the memories of his father from his mind.

Thomas made his return to the village in 2013, where he was stalking Chas and threatening her with chilling messages and actions in a bid to get revenge for his father's death. Despite her trying to apologise, Thomas refused to accept it.

After causing much trouble in the village Thomas soon started a romantic relationship with Belle but when the parents eventually found out, they where banned from seeing each another. In his final scenes, Thomas is ordered to return to Saudi Arabi - he stole the camper van and headed to the airport and flew back to Saudi Arabia to be with his mum again.
