Emmerdale newcomer Bradley Riches reveals soap bosses allowed him to re-write his scripts for new role as Lewis Barton
EMMERDALE newcomer Bradley Riches has admitted soap bosses allowed him to re-write parts of the script after joining the programme as Lewis Barton. The Netflix actor was unveiled as the ITV soap's new star signing earlier this year and has already become a fan favourite among the viewers of the show. Advertisement 4 Bradley Riches has revealed that he has been allowed to make amendments to his Emmerdale scripts Credit: Alamy 4 He joined the ITV soap as Lewis Barton last month Credit: ITV Like Bradley, Lewis is autistic and the actor has worked with show bosses in order to carve out the best ways of accurately portraying a character such as Lewis. Speaking to The Sun alongside co-star Natalie J. Robb at this year's British Soap Awards, he revealed how he had been allowed to make changes to the script and dialogue for his character. Heartstopper actor Bradley told us: "I think when they first said he was a neurodivergent character, an autistic character - they were like we really want to use the language that Bradley would use. "They were very open with that. Advertisement Read More on Bradley Riches "When I got the first script, for me personally, I don't say 'I have autism', because it feels like an extension - I just say 'I'm autistic' because it is part of me. "So little lines like that I changed and they were very open to that and understanding." He continued: "A lot of the things that people don't understand about Lewis are probably because he is an autistic character. "Him hyperfixating on what the hell happened to his mum and Moira is like 'she was a crazy woman' but he is hyperfixating on what happened to his mum. Advertisement Most read in Soaps Exclusive Exclusive "He is tunnel vision until he knows the truth." His character Lewis has already begun to cause chaos in the Dales after discovering the true secrets of his biological family. Emmerdale's Amy Walsh admits she took mass soap axing 'personally' Despite initially bonding with his brother Ross Barton, he soon began to fall out with his family as the truth behind his mother Emma's murder came to light. It saw Lewis vow to run to the cops and tell them that it was in fact Moira who killed Emma and not her son, Adam, like they believe. Advertisement Fans will remember that Adam covered for his mum and took the blame for the killing and went on the run as a result. The incident has largely been forgotten about until Lewis' shock appearance in the village. Bradley first rose to fame in Netflix's smash hit drama, Heartstopper. He then appeared as a housemate in the first revival series of Celebrity Big Brother on ITV last year and was cruelly evicted through the back door just days before the show's final.

The Sun's Head of Travel (Digital), Caroline McGuire explains why Paultons Park is one of her favourite places for a family day out… As a mum of a five year old, it's by far my favourite theme park and the short queues are a huge part of that. We didn't have any kind of queue jump pass and to be honest, we never felt like we needed one. A lot of the time, we'd wait about two minutes to get on a really great attraction - and that was on a weekend too, so it's great for youngsters with short attention spans. Undoubtedly the big draw of the park is Peppa Pig World and everyone, myself included, heads straight there when they first arrive. But I'd recommend getting out of there after a couple of rides and checking out the rest of the park, where the attractions are just as good. One of my favourite little details is that they have a load of those very annoying stationary rides that you find outside supermarkets, which your child will inevitably pester you to spend £3 on - but at Paultons they're free! My son rode a fire engine for about 40 minutes straight, so it's very easy to keep little ones entertained throughout the theme park. Located at Paultons Park in Hampshire - which is home to more than 70 rides - the Peppa Pig store sells a selection of cuddly toys, action figures, sweets, and clothes. Many visitors have raved about the shop on social media, which is decorated like a set from the hit TV series.
