EMMERDALE fans were left distracted during Friday's episode after spotting a famous Hollyoaks actor in the ITV soap.
Leyla Cavanagh visited a drug dealer in the last episode of Emmerdale as her drug habit spirals out of control – with her husband Dr Liam seemingly unaware of her addiction
But when the addict traveled into the Yorkshire countryside to meet a man who could sell her what she needed, fans of the ITV soap were quick to point out how the criminal was a familiar face.
Fans noted that the role was being played by Parry Glasspool, who played Harry Thompson on Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks between February 2015 and July 2019.
One fan said: "Was that drug dealer off #Hollyoaks, he looks familiar? #Emmerdale", whil another posted: "It's interesting to see Parry Glasspool in the start of tonight's #Emmerdale – he's hardly changed since he played Harry in #hollyoaks!"
Meanwhile, a third wrote: "Oh hello it’s Harry from Hollyoaks. #Emmerdale."

She was given a cake by her niece and sister Vicki, and despite some initial reservations, was happy to have marked the milestone.
“I originally didn’t want to celebrate as it’s not been a great year but so glad I did now,” she said.
Michelle became engaged to Mike, 39, after his romantic proposal in Los Angeles back in March.

Emmerdale fans beg soap bosses to make drastic change
Fans are begging Emmerdale bosses for the show to be moved back to its original 7pm slot.
In March, 2022, much to the annoyance of many, ITV shook up its schedule, bumping Emmerdale down to the 7.30pm slot to allow a longer news program.
But the Yorkshire-based soap has gone back to its previous 7pm slot for this week only to accommodate Britain’s Got Talent‘s semi-final live shows from 8pm to 10:05pm.
This has also affected rival soap Coronation Street which airs at 7.30pm for half an hour every night this week.
One soap fan wrote: “The verdict is in, people like the 7pm time slot for Emmerdale. We’ve tried an 1hour and half of news and it doesn’t work.”
A second commented: “Emmerdale back in its rightful place (7pm) (for this week).”
Another chimed in: “Emmerdale So nice it’s back on at 7pm – At least for this week!”

Corrie’s Charlie De Melo opens up about wanting to QUIT
IMRAN Habeeb actor Charlie De Melo is leaving Weatherfield after being involved in heart-stopping stories for almost five years.
However, the Coronation Street star admitted he had planned to leave sooner – but was stopped dead in his tracks by the pandemic.
Speaking about his exit to The Sun and other press, Charlie De Melo admitted that “a multitude of things” convinced him it was time to pack up and leave.
Charlie confessed that he had originally wanted to quit in 2019.
“My first couple of years there were trying”, the actor recalled.
“I did find it difficult and as I was heading towards the end of that second year, I made the decision to move on, to draw a line under my time in Manchester.”
But as the year 2020 began, the decision was taken out of his hands by the Covid pandemic and he chose to remain in the cobbles until things settled down.
“It was the more sensible choice to stay.”
“The subsequent few years since have been such a joy and then it got to a stage where I was enjoying myself over there.”
Corrie fans heartbroken by shock death
CORONATION Street fans are heartbroken after Imran Habeeb collapsed and died last night – and have spotted a dark clue that Toyah Battersby murdered him.
The solicitor – who is played by actor Charlie De Melo in the ITV soap – saved Toyah from the car wreck before the building collapsed onto it.
One wrote: “Toyah has a mild bruising of the conscience.”
A second said: “Has Toyah driven into the building intentionally as she wasn’t happy with Imran’s decision to come clean?”
Another added: “I never thought Toyah would kill Imran, I thought they were gonna split up and him leave, but you can never trust a soap storyline.”
Corrie spoilers: Cathy makes worrying discovery about Brian Packham
CATHY Matthews and Brian Packham's relationship has been going strong for years.
But next week in Coronation Street, the co-owner of The Kabin makes a shock discovery about her partner.
While some couples in the cobbles deal with infidelity and secret babies, others are more or less exempt from the drama at least for a time.
But no relationship can ever truly be spared from the hassles of life in Weatherfield.
Coming up in the long-running ITV soap, Cathy Matthews (portrayed by Melanie Hill) first seems to feel like her love life is lacking excitement.
Brian Packham (played by Peter Gunn) leads his glammed up other half into the Rovers but she's disappointed when she realises their date night consists of a beer tasting at the local pub.
Emmerdale: Liam Cavanagh makes shock discovery about wife Leyla
LIAM Cavanagh is growing increasingly worried for his wife Leyla's well-being.
As her behaviour continues to cause him concern, the Emmerdale GP makes a shocking discovery about the wedding planner.
Since serial killer Meena Jutla has not only admitted to killing his daughter Leanna but was also sentenced for her crimes, Liam Cavanagh (portrayed by Jonny McPherson) has kept a distance from all the village drama.
In recent weeks, he has made a few exceptions, notably for stroke survivor Marlon Dingle and Will Taylor who has been accidentally shot by Gabby Thomas.
But while his life in the Dales is somewhat peaceful, his wife Leyla (played by Roxy Shahidi) continues to display signs that not all is well.
These become more and more evident for the doctor.
