EMMERDALE fans were left hot under the collar at newcomer Marcus - and think he's the spitting image for another soap legend.
Marcus' rapist killer dad Pierce Harris - played by Jonathan Wrather - contacted victim Rhona Goskirk to ask her to find his now adult son.
On Thursday's episode, the handsome stranger arrived in The Dales and revealed his own tragic backstory that his dad Peirce had emotionally abused him when he was younger.
ITV viewers were quick to doubt Marcus' sincerity while many were left swooning over the hunky newbie. One delighted fan wrote: "Hello Marcus....I'll be tuning in every night now just to watch you. #Emmerdale" Another posted: "This Marcus has lovely blue eyes. #Emmerdale" A third gushed: "Marcus is seriously cute! #Emmerdale" "Lowkey in love with Marcus #emmerdale," another thrilled viewer penned. @font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Regular.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:400;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.woff') format('woff'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.ttf') format('truetype'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-Medium.svg#') format('svg');font-style:normal;font-weight:500;font-display:swap;}@font-face{font-family:'The Sun';src:url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff2') format('woff2'),url('/assets/fonts/the-sun/TheSun-HeavyNarrow.woff').
