Emmerdale appears to be bringing in another Barton brother as Bradley Riches<\/a> \u2018confirms\u2019 who his character truly is.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

A while ago it was announced that the Netflix star would be joining the soap<\/a>, and fans assumed he may have brought an entirely new family name along with him. But that doesn\u2019t seem to be the case.<\/p>\n

Bradley took to Instagram<\/a> yesterday (April 24) sharing a photo of him and Mike Parr who plays Ross Barton<\/a>. He captioned the post: \u201cHello brother.. I guess good looks do run in the family.\u201d So, if Bradley is the newest Barton, how does he fit into the family?<\/p>\n

Bradley\u2019s character will reportedly be called Lewis Barton. And from that, the question remains is he James and Emma\u2019s son \u2013 or did one of them have a secret child the other never knew about?<\/p>

Who is Bradley Riches character Lewis Barton?<\/h2>\n
