Adam Thomas is buzzing to get 'best buddy' Danny Miller back in Emmerdale

Emmerdale star Adam Thomas has said he can't wait to rekindle his bromance with pal Danny Miller when he returns to the ITV soap.

Adam and Danny joined the Emmerdale cast at around the same time and became close friends, even sharing a flat at one point, but Danny left the soap in 2012.

Now he is set to come back as Aaron Livesy and Adam told The Sun: "I'm buzzing because I've got my best buddy back. I can't tell you how happy I was when I found out he was coming back. I really missed him, we all did.

"We've always had a massive laugh together. We get the giggles all the time which is fun for us, but probably really annoying for everyone else when they're waiting to get a scene finished and go home on a Friday."

Adam also spoke about his current storyline, in which his character Adam Barton has just discovered his uncle James (Bill Ward) is actually his dad.

He said: "Everything he thought he knew, everything he thought was real has been taken away from him. It seems like his whole life has been a lie. The man he's grown up with isn't his dad at all and he's pretty angry about that, as anyone would be.

"He wants to punish James for what's happened so he gets a shotgun from the Dingles - like you do - and goes off to try and get some answers and to scare him a bit.

"I always say, 'Don't mess with Adam Barton.' Put it this way, he's about to head off down a very dark path."
