Last week, Emmerdale viewers raised questions as to why many of the policemen in Emmerdale appeared to be corrupt.
A spokesperson for Emmerdale teased Mark’s character is “a police officer with a dark history”.
Liverpool-born actor Mark Womack, best known for his roles in Murphy’s Law, Merseybeat, Vera and Babylon, said: “It’s always a lot of fun to play the bad guy and Malone definitely falls into that category.
“I’m looking forward to the audience seeing his twisted tale unfold on screen.”
In real life, Mark is much more pleasant and married to former EastEnders actress Samantha.
