A couple of familiar faces are set to join the cast of Emmerdale next month.

Duncan Preston and Paula Wilcox will play Laurel's parents, Douglas and Hilary Potts.
( source yahoo soaps)

Duncan Preston is Susan Penhaligon's husband.

OMG
But at least Chita likes him, phew

I thought Stephen Gately was joining it too?

lol seriously?!
Oohhh please no.....

Well ... WAS her husband, they got divorced, then got back together again, but they aren't actually married.

When I saw the report I was actually gonna say on here I'm sure those who hate Jean are hoping he doesn't bring his real life other half with him for this stint in Emmerdale! lol!

He's not, is he??!

He's going to be a policeman who was in Hotten but now has a different beat in Emmerdale.

Or maybe his character fell madly in love with Louise on DOI, and he's followed her back to t'village

There's enough Potts in it already...

Aitch,

Would you be referring to:

The Dingle Pot
Edna's Pot (which was ransacked this week)
The Potts

There's also Marlon's pots, or have I got the complete wrong end of the stick

Yep, nice friendly bloke.

Married to her, but doesn't live with her.

Very sensible.

Don't forget Galen's pot - he smokes it
Turner's pot belly
Bob threatened Tommy Goat with a p*ss pot

You are too funny Colonel, none of that stiff upper lip nonsense at Mustard Towers

This has me wondering - do the Dingles have any pot bellied pigs?


Are my mate Duncan and her from Man About The House staying long?

They seem to just come in for a couple of episodes and then disappear until they can read if we like them or not.

Hope they make them eccentric.

Not wearing bumble bee costumes exactly, but eccentric.

Deelyboppers would do.

Is Cat Deeley joining too?


BTW why are Deeleyboppers so called?
It's a mystery to me.

Just thought, wouldn't it be funny if Mrs Potts was called Cheryl

Not sure and Wiki isn't very helpful...

The Deely Bopper (sometimes spelled Deeley) is a pair of glitter balls or plastic 'feelers' stuck on two long springs attached to the head with a plastic hair-band to make the wearer look like a 'wacky' alien. It is sometimes called a head bopper or hairband with springy things on it.

Very Laurel-ish.

And Val is potty.

He is meant to be playing a cop!
