Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale‘s Joe Absolom has opened up about his character Ray Walter’s drug operation, which could get even more dangerous if he lets his “merciless” bosses down. The question is: will his higher-ups be introduced down the line?
Speaking with Digital Spy and other outlets in a roundtable interview, Absolom teased what’s in store for his character.
“Yes, there’s more. Basically, the quality of the weed that the farms are growing, and the fact that I can supply it to an area with Dylan and April so easily – because I think he’s paying him cash – but Ray’s making all the money. So I think the setup for Ray is very good. And where Ray is in that business, we don’t quite know.”
“He does allude to having bosses that are merciless,” noted the actor, “and in that way he gets April and Dylan working off a debt, because when all they’ve got to do is drop off a rucksack but if that goes wrong, then effectively, you have a missing bag of drugs that’s worth a lot of money and that that creates a lot of ripples for everybody, because you can’t just have bags of drugs going missing.”
While viewers are yet to meet the mysterious “bosses” that Ray may be working for, the character seems to be safe for now. The same can’t be said for Dylan Penders, however.
