The latest episode of Emmerdale has been intense, to say the least, with Matty Barton's prison storyline taking center stage. Fans of the show have been sharing their love for Matty's cellmate Les, who has become a fan-favorite character in a short amount of time.
Matty's imprisonment began a few weeks ago when he accidentally stabbed Samson Dingle. As most of the villagers know, Matty is innocent and has been falsely accused due to a lie spun by Samson and his friend Josh. Being a transgender man, Matty was worried about his safety in prison, knowing that it could make him a target.
But things took a positive turn when Matty opened up to his cellmate Les about being transgender. Les, being a kind and understanding person, took the time to listen and support Matty. He also warned Matty that not all inmates would be as accepting as he is.
This led Matty to make a difficult decision - he asked Les to attack him so he could be transferred to a hospital, where he would feel safer surrounded by doctors and nurses. When Les was released from prison, he visited Matty in the hospital, and fans were excited about the possibility of him being a regular character in the future.
Social media was flooded with comments from fans who loved Les and wanted to see more of him on the show. Some even suggested that he should move into the village with Matty once he is released from prison.
Les's character, played by actor Stacey Gough, has received praise for his performance, along with John O'Neill who plays the role of prison baddie. Actor Ash, who plays Matty, also shared his admiration for both actors on his Instagram.
In the upcoming episodes, Samson's stepmother Lydia will start to have doubts about his story and eventually discovers the truth. Actress Karen, who plays Lydia, shared that her character will be hugely disappointed when she finds out the truth.
She also revealed that there will be a scene where Lydia questions Samson and asks if what Matty said was true. She loves Samson and has fought for him, but this is a serious situation that cannot be ignored.
Lydia is also worried about Matty's safety in prison and fears that he may get attacked again. She wants to protect and do the right thing, just like Sam, but they both have different ways of going about it.
The upcoming episodes are sure to be filled with more drama and twists as the truth finally comes out. Fans can't wait to see what happens next and are eagerly waiting for the latest spoilers.
