From Digital Spy.The women of Emmerdale had best watch out – there's a new man on the loose. Matthew Wolfenden, 26, joins the cast of the Yorkshire-based soap next month as David Metcalfe – and the only thing he has against him is that he's the son of wheeler-dealer Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell). David arrives in the Dales and immediately turns the ladies' heads, but he’s got more important things on his mind than women – he's on a mission to confront his father, who doesn’t even know of his existence. And before revealing his identity, he starts work at the factory in an attempt to find out more about his estranged father. Of his new role, Matthew said: "I’m thrilled to be joining the cast of Emmerdale as David Metcalfe. David is a great character and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for him." Meanwhile, series producer Kathleen Beedles added: "We are delighted to welcome Matthew to the cast. There will be dramatic times ahead when Pollard is faced with the news that he’s got a son." Matthew's debut scenes will air on Sunday, November 26. Lets hope he hasn't inherited Eric's nasty ways !. I wonder who will be first to catch his eye......Kelly ?

Oh gawd. More long lost brats turning up out of the woodwork. When are soaps going to get an original idea?
Yes he's gorgeous but shouldn't any son of Eric's not be?

you`ve got a point Patsy there yes there does seem to be a lot of long lost kid`s turning up in soap`s now , and that`s true too as Eric / Chris Chittel is good looking for his age but who is David`s mother if Eric is his Dad ? and what does she look like?

Hope he doesn't have loads of tattoos either saying things like Scunthorpe instead of Brooklyn.
I'm sure it'll come to you, Jezziekins. I have no idea what any of them look like from Westlife because I'm old. LOL!

He does look like Eric, sort of, but is a bit of a pretty boy it seems.

LOL! Was it East 17 in your day?! Er.... Just. I think. Were they around when Bros, Kylie & Jason and Rick Astley were? Memory's not as good as it was. Patsy

I remember Kylie and Jason - well Kyle is still around now too. But because she was in Neighbours I took more notice of her!
It was Take That, Boyzone and the Spice Girls when I was a teenager!

I was heading towards the end of my teens when Kylie burst in the charts. 17 I think I was. So my taste in music was changing from pap to proper stuff.

I'd like to see this new character show an interest in Del. She always goes for the blokes who want someone else
