One fan commented that they “can’t wait” and another remarked that the casting news was “fantastic”.
And one declared that Liam is a “Boss” for taking on the role of the show villain. Emmerdale fans have been fretting that Liam’s role as Dan may be coming to an end soon on the ITV soap as an explosive storyline plays out.
Viewers have been gripped by a plot line that could see Dan sent to jail for a potential murder charge after he punched his daughter Amelia’s stalker - leaving him in a coma.
Dan has already been warned that he would be tried for murder if the victim, named Lloyd, passed away from his injuries. Liam is hardly one to rest on his laurels, however, as he keeps himself busy even while working on Emmerdale.
The star hosts a weekend breakfast show on XO Radio.
