Former Coronation Street favourite joins Emmerdale

A former Coronation Street star has joined Emmerdale.

It is not unusual to see crossovers between programmes in soapland. The latest has seen Will Barnett join Emmerdale as newcomer Max.

Our colleagues at The Mirror report, the sleazy newcomer Max made his mark in the Dales buying alcohol and condoms from David’s shop.

Prior to this he'd been chatting up Liv Flaherty, who has recently relapsed after turning to alcohol due to her guilt over Paul Ashdale's death.

After asking Max to buy some alcohol from the shop she invited him back to her house, only to be busted by brother Aaron Dingle who walked in to find the pair.

Some Emmerdale viewers recognised Wil Barnett had previously appeared in Corrie. The actor portrayed Tyler Jefferies in the Manc soap between 2018 and 2019.

Tyler bullied Simon Barlow, and also got Amy Barlow pregnant before refusing to have anything to do with her.

His mum Vicky was Robert Preston's other woman, who left the street after falling pregnant with his child - with Robert killed off in December 2019.
