Adam Thomas teases Emmerdale return

Speaking to Metro UK, Adam revealed how much he loved his time on the soap.

“It was such a big part of my life and being able to work with some of my close friends who I’m still in touch with today, that was such a fun job,” he said.

He added: “I’m lucky that I get to do this for a living. I’d like to go back one day. It’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

“I was a kid when I joined so I had some amazing memories there and I’d love to go back one day. I think my mum and my family are still in it and they’ve left the door open for me… you never know,” he hinted.

Adam Barton’s Emmerdale exit

A part of the Barton family, Adam was the eldest son of John and Moira. Although he later discovered his real dad was actually his uncle, James Barton. This news gave him three more brothers in the form of Pete, Ross and Finn Barton.

After Hannah’s departure (and subsequent return as Matty) and Holly’s death, Adam was Moira’s rock. However he left the soap after confessing to murder to protect his mum.

Moira had offed crazed Emma Barton by pushing her off a bridge. But knowing his mum wasn’t responsible for her actions and wanting to protect her, Adam confessed to the crime himself.

Stepdad Cain Dingle helped Adam escape the country in the back of a van. He is currently thought to still be on the run in France.

But if Adam’s keen, the fans are keen and we’re keen, surely Emmerdale can find a way to make a return happen? Stranger things have happened in Soapland!
