Legend of Emmerdale Adam Thomas has hinted at a possible return to the ITV soap after Matty’s (Ash Palmisciano) stabbing incident.
Adam, 35, recently returned to his role as Donte Charles in the BBC One drama Waterloo Road after nine years as alter ego Adam Barton in the Dales serial from 2009 to 2018.
This week, he joined forces with coffee company Emmi CAFFÊ LATTE to become their “Head Daymaker,” bringing joy to commuters who might need a little extra cheer to get through the day.
Adam was the ideal person to get involved because he is the happiest man in show business. He exclusively revealed his activities to Metro.co.uk, saying, “We were putting a smile on people’s faces, celebrating those small wins in life.”
“We were there to encourage people because we knew that the morning marathon could occasionally be difficult. Our goal was to make people smile and feel happy so they could have the best day possible.”
Adam told us that a recent big win for himself and older brother Ryan, better known to soap fans as Corrie’s Jason Grimshaw, was cause for a “much deserved pat on the back.” Adam counts himself among the 26% of Brits who find it difficult to smile in the morning.
He said to us, “I just got my own gameshow with my brother.”
“I can’t wait to shoot that very soon,” ITV refers to it as 99 to Beat. It’s finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s a dream come true, so I’m very happy to hear the news.
“My small victories are simply seeing my children smile.” Making sure they are content and making them smile is the most important thing and my life’s work.
In 2020, the boys starred in their own travel series called Mancs in Mumbai, costarring their reality TV star brother Scott. It followed them as they went to the Indian city with their father to learn more about their ancestry. In 1947, their grandfather left South Asia for the UK.
“It would be the cherry on top to be able to do something like that with my brothers again,” Adam said. “Really, it felt strange to classify it as a job because it was the highlight of our lives.”
After filming a new season of Waterloo Road, which will premiere later this year, Adam described the role as “the gift that keeps on giving.” Adam played the troubled schoolboy Donte in the show’s 2006 original run.
Donte, who is now an adult and provides for his own family, works as the academy’s caretaker and has been influenced by Nicky Walters, a canteen employee (Kym Marsh).
“It’s too early to reveal too much, but a lot is happening, and Waterloo Road fans will soon love the new series.” Don’t we all enjoy a little drama? He made fun of it.
Every fan wonders if he would ever consider going back to the small Yorkshire village after six years away from Emmerdale, but it sounds like he might need to catch up on some family matters first.
“I don’t recall where he went.” I believe he visited France. He claimed to be running.
He is correct; after admitting to the murder of Emma Barton (Gillian Kearney), the fictional Adam performed a moonlight flit in an attempt to free his mother Moira (Natalie J. Robb) from a protracted sentence at Her Majesty’s Pleasure.
Being able to work with some of my close friends—whom I still keep in touch with—was such a fun job. It was such a big part of my life.
“I’m fortunate to have this as my career.” One day, I hope to return there because I will always have a special place in my heart for it.
I joined when I was a young child, so I have a lot of wonderful memories there, and I hope to return someday. He went on, “I believe my mother and my family are still with me and they’ve left the door open for me. You never know.”
Adam joked, utterly ignorant that Matty Barton had been imprisoned for inadvertently stabbing Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) in a horrifying transphobic incident. “Is he in prison?!?” he exclaimed. Not at all!
“I believe I should return to Emmerdale.”
