Mark will play Liam Fox's on-screen brother
Former star of Heartbeat and The Royal Mark Jordan is to join the cast of Emmerdale as charming ex-marine Daz Spencer.
Arriving in the village, he immediately sets his brother Dan (Liam Fox) on edge, and the coming months will see him wreck havoc for his younger sibling.
Conflicted about reuniting with his brother, viewers will be left wondering just why their relationship is a frosty one - is Daz's past to blame, or is Dan jealous of his instant popularity in the village?
Mark is scheduled to begin filming his first scenes on the soap this month, and will be on-screen from early July.
Mark says: “ITV studios in Leeds has always felt like a second home and I'm really looking forward to being back there, this time with the cast and crew of Emmerdale.”
Kate Oates, Emmerdale Series Producer says: “We’re delighted to see Mark return to Yorkshire and are so pleased to add Emmerdale to his vast list of TV credits. He will be a great addition and we are excited to start filming with him."
