grayson may have promised perdy that he'll mend his ways, but there's soon to be a new man about town who's certain to catch the solicitors eye... richard grieve plays hunky newcomer jonny foster, who arrives in emmerdale to work on butlers farm as a farrier. as a sexy australian, jonny will be welcome company for ex-pat louise. however its not long before the happy-go-lucky farrier is stirring up trouble in the village.
'perdy becomes paranoid whenever she sees grayson and jonny chatting with each other' says actor christopher villiers, who plays grayson. 'i just wish she trusted me more'.
could this be the straw that breaks the camels back for the troubled couple?
actor richard is no stranger to playing a heartthrob, having won over legions of fans in his roles in both neighbours and home and away. the 36 year old first graced our screens as erinsborough mechanic sam kratz, who enjoyed a steamy romance with blonde beauty annalise. he then headed to home and away, where he hung up his bikers leathers and began a new soap life as smart GP Dr lachlan frazer.
its a big step from sunny summer bay to the dreary dales, but we're sure jonny will bring a blast of aussie sunshine to the show!
