He's been lurking ominously for months, and now Kirin Kotecha has finally made his business back in Emmerdale known as he threatens to put a stop to Charity Dingle's adoption of his biological son, Johnny Woodfield.

But in classic Kirin style, nothing comes without a price and soon Charity is begging her family for money to pay him off.

Meanwhile, Priya Sharma wants nothing to do with him but when he appears down a quiet alleyway, will she be able to stand her ground?

As she teeters on the brink of turning her back on on the church, Dawn Taylor reminds her she doesn't really have a choice.
