Harvey returns to Emmerdale

Leo hasn’t been on Emmerdale screens much recently following the coronavirus pandemic.

He made a return last month and fans were thrilled to see him when he was involved in scenes for Marlon and Rhona’s wedding.

It has been eight months since he’d last appeared and viewers couldn’t believe their eyes.

“He looks so grown up in this,” wrote one.

“I was just thinking how fab and grown up he looks,” commented another.

Others called him “smart”, “handsome” and “dapper”.

Someone else said: “What a smart, handsome, young man.”

“Looking sharp young man!! Suave…” added another.

“Very dapper young man on telly last night Harvey,” said a final commenter.
