Declan's dad Dermot arrives in the village for Christmas in tonight's episode of Emmerdale.
The businessman's mischievous father turns up at Home Farm after receiving an invitation from Ella, but Declan is far from happy over the situation and appears to be unsettled by his presence.
Later, as the tension becomes too much to bear, Declan tries to bribe Dermot to stay away.
Will Dermot accept the offer, or will he be sticking around at the estate?
Speaking in a recent interview with DS, Dermot's portrayer Frank Kelly explained: "While Declan is very businesslike, down-to-earth and very much in control of things, Dermot is very different. He's been living on a houseboat which has now sunk, so he has nowhere to live!
"But Declan's not quite ready to accept him into his household - he's quite ambivalent about it. He wants Dermot to move on and get out of the place, but Dermot is trying to live off his son…"
Emmerdale airs tonight at 7.00pm on ITV1.
