Rob Norbury set for Emmerdale return

Rob Norbury will return to ‘Emmerdale’ for another guest run next week.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actor – who played footballer Riley Costello on the Channel 4 show – is set to reprise his role on the ‘Dales as dodgy drayman Leon after his first appearances back in November.
Leon appeared in three episodes as a brief love interest for Isabel Hodgins’ alter ego Victoria Barton.
He was kicked out of her house by her brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) when he tried to pressure her into sleeping with him after she took him home and he became verbally abusive.
Next week, Leon will be back on the ITV soap with Dawn Taylor (Olivia Bromley) in his sights, as he starts to harass her.
It’s said he is one of her ex-clients from her time as a prostitute, and he does’t react well to the idea of her putting her past behind her.
He even turns up at her house, which leads to her being force to fight him off.
Since his time on ‘Hollyoaks’, soap star Rob landed the role of PC Martin in ITV drama series ‘Brief Encounters’ in 2016 alongside the likes of Sophie Rundle and Angela Griffin, and he also has his own restaurant, Muse, in Oldham, north west England.
Speaking about the bar and eatery last year, he said: "We’re a little bit quirky which is something I really wanted to build on and it seems it’s something other people love too.
"My family helped me with taking Muse cocktail bar on. It was an existing business. Then the building at the side, which had been a real eyesore, came up for sale. It was a no brainer for me."
