Andrew Scarborough hopes Emmerdale’s Megan Macey can encourage his alter-ego Graham Foster to "have a proper hair cut" to stop him looking like 1970s snooker legend Ray Reardon.
The 46-year-old star is hopeful the pair can make a go of things because he wants Graham to look less like former six-time world champion, who was nicknamed Dracula due to his widow’s peak tresses, and he wants Megan (Gaynor Faye) to make his character to be happier.
Andrew said: "I think she could change him. He could become happier, that would help.
"She could get him to have a proper haircut and not look like Ray Reardon from the 70s, and less like Dracula or an undertaker.
"So he could be a lot happier.
"That is a real, solid, honest relationship. Whereas the one with Kim is fraught, it’s a strange relationship where they care for each other, but there’s a lot of distrust, and a lot of status games going on.
"Megan was the first proper, honest relationship he’s had for quite a while. Well, it turned out he cheated but I think he genuinely was very fond of her.
"I think they’re good together as well."
Andrew isn’t the only one who wouldn’t mind Graham being a bit happier – as he admitted fans always ask him why he doesn’t smile more on screen.
He said: "I get two questions – did you kill Joe? And why don’t you smile?"
Andrew is relieved the news that Joe Tate (Ned Porteous) is alive is finally out in the open, after viewers thought he had been killed off last year.
When asked if he always knew Joe was alive and if he is relieved, he replied: "Yes. Yes I always knew. It was getting tiring … ‘Where is he?’"
