Emmerdale spoilers have revealed that a new detective will be arriving in the village next week, with Ray Walters set to be left feeling nervous
Emmerdale spoilers for the upcoming week reveal a Call the Midwife star joining the popular ITV soap in a fresh role.
In forthcoming scenes, DS Carter arrives in the village with an intention to speak to newcomer and Robert Sugden’s estranged husband, Kev Townsend, regarding an assault on an old mate.
However, when Kev departs, DS Carter spots Ray Walters across the road, sparking curiosity. On the other side of the street, Dylan Penders, who is rushing to get to the Depot, insists on conducting a handover in public, which irritates Ray who reminds him of his priorities.
DS Carter, having just interrogated Kev, notices Ray on Main Street. In response, Ray ditches the backpack Dylan handed him behind a wall and approaches DS Carter for a chat.
After their conversation, DS Carter watches Ray depart, unknowingly preventing him from retrieving his bag… With DS Carter showing interest in Ray, could his secret be revealed?, reports the Daily Star.
The character of DS Carter is portrayed by actress Lisa Diveney. Lisa has featured in numerous TV programmes over the years, including Call the Midwife as Julia Masterson in 2013 and Beth in the Only Fools and Horses spin-off The Green Green Grass from 2005 to 2007.
Other roles include The Story of Tracy Beaker in 2006 as Lucy, Casualty in 2014, Grantchester in 2016, Harlots in 2017 and ITV drama Grace earlier this year in 2025.
Soap fans will remember that Ray and his intimidating mother Celia Daniels are exploiting young Dylan and his girlfriend April Windsor.
April and Dylan have been manipulated by Ray and his mother Celia under the pretence of repaying their so-called “debts”, which is actually a scheme to groom them into drug dealing.
On Friday, matters took a more ominous turn as Ray told April he was sending her on another job, pressuring her to accept the task or face having her debt sold on.
Ray whisked April away to a hotel, supplying her with cocaine for a ‘valuable client’ and urging her to have a drink. As an anxious April made her entrance, Ray’s menacing client, Tim, was delighted as he accepted the cocaine and tried to persuade April to take the drug, along with some vodka.
Before long, April found herself trapped in a bedroom with Tim…
Luckily, a quick-thinking April managed to escape just in time, but it wasn’t long before Celia caught up with her and started gaslighting her about the incident.
In Monday’s episode, April met Ray for the first time since her Friday getaway, as he pressured her to complete future tasks regardless of her feelings.
Emmerdale airs weekdays on ITV and ITVX at 7.30pm
