Emmerdale has recently introduced a 'Scouse' character you may recognise.
Last month, Wendy was stunned as she returned to the village to find her ex-husband waiting for her.
Russ said he wanted the cash that had been left to Harry after his mum cut him out of his will.

At first, Wendy refused to hand over the money, but Russ began threatening her with a 'secret' that could ruin her life.
This week, things come to a head when Russ eventually reveals to her the reason he’s on the run is that he shot a policeman during the armed robbery of a jewellery store.
Wendy realises he is much more dangerous than she had ever imagined.
When Russ orders Wendy to convince Victoria to hand the money over she does but instantly feels disgusted with herself and is unaware Russ has a plan B in the boot of his car: a sawn-off shotgun.
The next day, Vic tells Russ he’ll have the money by midday, and he pretends to be overwhelmed with gratitude. Wendy, compelled by her guilty conscience, arrives at the Hide and urges Victoria not to give Russ any money.
Vic’s confused by her change of heart. Wendy tells Vic how Russ is blackmailing her with a secret that could ruin her life, but before Wendy can tell Victoria what the secret is, Russ shows up demanding answers as to why the money hasn’t come through.
The two women are trapped. Seeing Russ was willing to blackmail Wendy to rip off his grandson, Vic’s disgusted with Russ and as she makes to call the police, Russ reaches into his coat and pulls out the gun.
After taking Vic and Wendy’s phones, Russ secures the door to the Hide.
The women are terrified to be held hostage.
Russ cocks the gun and points it at Victoria demanding she transfer the money to him.
When armed police arrive on the scene, the stand-off at the Hide escalates into a full-blown siege. Outside the Hide, Jacob, Dan and Bob hear a shot ring out.
According to his IMDB, because Rob is from Wirral he is frequently cast as a Scouser.
He is best known for playing Eddie in BBC's television crime drama series Hustle.
Rob has also appeared in Doctor Who, A Street Cat Named Bob and Waterloo Road.
