Fans of Emmerdale have slammed the soap for introducing new ‘bad boy’ Kammy in the wake of three devastating exits last week. Soap bosses confirmed last night that newcomer Kammy will be joining the cast – as a would-be quad bike thief who clashes with Ross and befriends Sarah.
His introduction comes as Suzy, Leyla and Amy all left the soap last week. The women were killed off in a devastating limousine crash which leaves the village reeling in grief.
And many didn’t take the announcement of the newcomer well – with many bemoaning the introduction of yet another ‘bad boy.’
Emmerdale fans fume as soap introduces new ‘bad boy’
Reacting on Reddit as the news dropped, fans shared their dismay at the addition of a new ‘bad boy’ to the soap’s already stacked line-up.
“It’ll be another so called bad boy who will be forced to have beef with a randomly selected villager, either Ross or someone else for no real reason and will almost certainly end up bedding half the women in the village,” wrote one fan.
“I really don’t understand your logic. A number of characters have been let go, to be replaced by at least one bad boy. Seriously!” complained another on X.
“New bad boy to shake things up, how original. So axe long standing characters and replace with someone who viewers are meant to dislike?” said a third.
“Feels like there’s too many of these “bad boy” characters in Emmerdale at the moment,” another agreed.
Who is Kammy? Emmerdale star teases trouble for Sarah and Ross
Scenes next month will see Kammy make his Emmerdale debut – stealing a quad bike from Moira’s farm. As accusatory fingers are pointed, Ross soon takes the blame.
Elsewhere, Sarah meets Kammy as he struggles to start the stolen bike. But how will she react when Ross approaches?
As the pair begin to build a relationship, Sarah soon finds herself getting in touch with her village roots.
Katie Hill, who plays Sarah Sugden said: “I can’t wait for the audience to meet Kammy – he’s a really fun character and a great addition to the village. We might even see him and Sarah get up to a bit of mischief together… It has been great having Shebz join the cast and he’s been brilliant to work with!”
