'Emmerdale' actor hopes for Eve plot
Emmerdale star Lyndon Ogbourne has revealed that he would like his character Nathan Wylde to become romantically involved with the soap's forthcoming arrival Eve Birch.

Last month, it was announced that former Hear'Say singer Suzanne Shaw had been recruited to play the role of Eve, who is the granddaughter of existing character Edna (Shirley Stelfox).

In an interview with DS, Ogbourne claimed that it would be interesting to see Eve become embroiled in the life of his troubled alter ego - even if it is only for a brief period of time.

He commented: "I don't know what the background is to her coming in. I think she's got many a plan of love within the village but I don't know if any of that revolves around Nathan. It would be a lot of fun if it did!

"I think she's coming in as quite a feisty and sexy character. Maybe she'll just take a bite out of Nathan and spit him to the kerb."

Ogbourne said that he is also keen to see Nathan find a female companion with similar personality traits.

The actor explained: "I don't want to give away too much but don't you think that maybe all he needs is love? I'm so proud to have had a part in creating a character like Nathan and I'm also chuffed by the reaction that I get.

"I think what would be really interesting to see - and this isn't based on anything but my own speculation - but it would be quite nice to see a Bonnie and Clyde style situation going on."
