Emmerdale newcomer Alex Moss will get off on the wrong foot with Adam Barton. The hunky farmer, played by Kurtis Stacey, gains the immediate approval of John Barton (James Thornton) as he works on the Barton farm, but riles up Adam (Adam Thomas) in the process. "I don't think he'll get on with Adam because he replaces Adam on the farm - Adam sees him arrive and work really hard and is annoyed that he's good," the actor said. Their rocky relationship is unlikely to improve in the near future, after Alex catches the eye of Adam's younger sister Hannah (Grace Cassidy). "The girls are impressed and Adam can tell that Hannah likes Alex and he doesn't like it," Kurtis continued. "I think Andy will be in the middle a bit because I can see him being a bit stuck between them, being mates with us both. Andy is the only person Alex knows in the village at first." Adam isn't the only one with his doubts about the village's new farmer, who makes his grand entrance next week. Kurtis added: "I think the locals will be a bit suspicious of him at first, especially when they see him with different girls. Hopefully they'll realise he's OK, for now."
