NEW face Darren arrives on the Dales to make a dodgy deal with Kim Tate – but where do you recognise him from?
Darren (portrayed by Kyle Pryor) arrived in the village to meet Kim Tate (Claire King) who is starting up her own stud farm.
However, Darren’s working history in breeding wasn’t so impressive as Dawn spotted a lie.
Darren mentioned a contact Derek Shannon, but Dawn knew that he was sacked a week ago – leaving Darren stumbling over his words.
Kim ended their meeting and convinced Dawn to work for her.
Later, Darren made his way to The Woolpack and noticed a poker game going on.

Darren will feature in the next part of Vinny’s storyline, who beats Jimmy during a game of poker.
Vinny and Jimmy host a riskier, higher-stakes game and then more villagers get involved.
As Ryan, David and Mack join their neighbours, Darren also enters and decides to get involved as well.
But given Vinny’s current state of mind after Liv’s death and his past with his gambling-addicted father, could this game get out of hand?
Kyle played the role of Nate Cooper in Australian Soap Home and Away from 2013 to 2017.
One year later he joined the cast of Hollyoaks, portraying villain Laurie Shelby.
Laurie was the abusive husband of Sinead O’Connor and deputy head at Hollyoaks High School.
His storyline involved sexually harassing Sienna Blake, raping Sinead and attempting to rape Diane Hutchinson.
He died in August 2019 after injuring his head in a prison van accident.
Kyle met his real-life partner Anna Passey, who plays Sienna Blake in the Channel 4 soap, and they have been together since 2019.
Emmerdale airs weekdays on ITV.
