FormerEmmerdale star Adam Thomas has dropped a major hint he’s about to return to the soap with his latest post.

Adam rose to fame playing farmer Adam Barton, son of Moira and James Barton, from 2009 to 2018, but quit when Aaron and Cain Dingle broke him out of jail and he left for Europe.

And now fans are convinced he’s returning to the role after he posted a cryptic tweet saying, “Can’t remember the last time I picked up a script… Time to get back.”

“Please tell us your bringing #bartsy back to Emmerdale!” wrote one fan. “I cant cope with screaming Mandy anymore (much as I love Lisa) but giggly Adam would definitely bring fun back to the Dales. Whatever you're doing Adam I'm sure it will be brilliant.”
