In pictures obtained by metro.co.uk, Maureen and Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, were spotted filming with Paul, who is reported to play a man named Arthur.
According to the publication, Arthur is an old friend of Evelyn’s from her past, but it is yet to be revealed whether there is any romantic connection between them.
Keen soap fans will know this isn’t the first soap Paul has appeared in.
In 2018, he played Charity Dingle’s father Obadiah Dingle in Emmerdale.
Obadiah came into the picture when Charity revealed to girlfriend Vanessa she was abused by DI Mark Bails.
At 13 Charity became pregnant with her second-cousin, Cain Dingle’s baby.
Charity gave birth to a baby girl, Debbie Dingle. But Obadiah forced Charity to give her baby to his friend, Pat Jones.
Obadiah eventually threw Charity out and she began staying with DI Bails who held her hostage and repeatedly raped her, resulting in her falling pregnant with her second baby, Ryan.

Paul is also well known for his roles in Last Tango in Halifax and Hornblower.
