Meanwhile, despite previously being threatened by both Cain Dingle and Graham Foster, drug dealing nasty Simon McManus can't seem to stay away from the village of Emmerdale.

But his latest visit could also be his last, since Ross Barton is lying in wait to get revenge on Simon for the acid attack that changed his life forever.

After a tip-off that Simon is planning a robbery at Home Farm, Ross is on his way to confront Simon over the attack, determined to get a full confession about the fateful night Simon secretly mistook Ross for intended victim Joe Tate and threw acid in Ross's face.

But if Ross forces the truth out of Simon, will he finally discover his then love, Debbie Dingle was to blame, having ordered the attack on Joe, the man she's now about to marry!

Writer

Simon has long been a fan of soap operas, and especially loves OVER-THE-TOP plots involving evil twins, hair-pulling catfights and natural disasters. Anyone remember the Sunset Beach earthquake/tidal wave? Or when Krystle Carrington got locked in the attic and replaced by look-a-like Rita in Dynasty?!

Simon has written for a variety of TV and childrens’ magazines/websites including Inside Soap, Nickelodeon, What’s On TV, Radio Times, Metro, Girl Talk, Disney Girl, Toxic! and Digital Spy. He has reported LIVE from the red carpet at The British Soap Awards interviewing glammed-up stars from soapland, and hosted a Facebook LIVE session for Metro with Home and Away legend Ray Meagher (Alf "Stone the flamin' crows!" Stewart) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Aussie soap.

Simon is also co-author of The Treasures Of Coronation Street (Carlton Books)

And the writer and director of (very!) low budget fright flick, Midsummer Night's EVIL and the sequel webisodes series, The Hatchet Woods HORROR.
