US EditionEmmerdale's John Middleton joins rival soap to play 'most evil character ever'
WEST YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, JUL 14 – John Middleton takes on a villainous role as mob boss Froggy in Hollyoaks, marking a sharp contrast to his 20-year portrayal of a kind-hearted vicar on Emmerdale.
- John Middleton, known for playing vicar Ashley Thomas on Emmerdale from 1996 to 2017, is joining Hollyoaks to play a mob boss named Froggy.
- Middleton left Emmerdale following a dementia storyline, and the new role contrasts sharply with his previous character's gentle nature.
- Froggy, also called Fraser Black Senior, is a notorious criminal in Longmere prison and grandfather to key characters Clare Devine, Grace Black, and Rex Gallagher.
- An insider said Froggy 'has a very dark history' and 'knows where all the bodies are buried,' making him possibly Hollyoaks' most evil character despite its serial killer-plagued setting.
- Middleton's casting suggests a career shift from a beloved vicar to a villain, potentially introducing new dramatic tension for Hollyoaks audiences.
