Ogbourne: 'New Dales plot is horrific'

Emmerdale actor Lyndon Ogbourne has revealed that his alter ego's behaviour becomes "quite horrific" over the coming weeks.

The soap star claimed that Nathan Wylde will start to resemble a character from thriller movie American Psycho as he targets Leyla Harding (Roxanne Ghawam-Shahidi) with a vicious blackmail plot.

Next week, viewers will see Nathan and Leyla succumbing to passion. However, when Leyla goes on to admit that she regrets cheating on her partner David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden), Nathan warns that he will not let her forget what happened and begins a campaign of manipulation.

Ogbourne told PA: "The switch between being such a seemingly nice guy and the malicious way he's controlling Leyla is quite horrific.

"He just gets worse and worse and could easily fit into the cast of American Psycho by the end of it."

On how the storyline is impacting him personally, the actor joked: "You really look twice at everybody. I don't know if I trust anyone anymore!"

Ogbourne joined Emmerdale in January and was seen on screen for the first time a month later.
