A "weird" Emmerdale villain is set for a return to the ITV soap to seek revenge on one character.

Dr Crowley, played by James Hillier, last appeared on the show in March.

Now, he is coming back to the show to seek revenge on Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).

The villain was at the centre of many theories during his previous storyline with Joe.

James Hillier's character last appeared on the ITV soap on March 31.

Joe Tate hired the shady doctor to treat him and secure him a kidney transplant after being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.

Joe and Dr Crowley spiked Joe's half-brother, Noah Dingle, but he proved not to be a match.

Joe's paternal half-uncle, Caleb Miligan, was later found to be a match, so Joe took his kidney after Caleb was stabbed.

Dr Crowley transplanted it into Joe before fleeing the country, with it later revealed that he may have told Joe a fake name.

At the time of the storyline, Emmerdale viewers were full of theories surrounding the dodgy doctor.
