"He's been very combative towards his mum, but has then gone back underneath her wing.
"There's also been some really emotional scenes in the love triangle with Belle and Andrea, and having his daughter Millie around.
"It's been really great, but now with this new side of him coming out, we're showing the Tate edge of Jamie and it's brilliant. It's great fun to play.

Like mother, like son
Delving into whether his character's development will involve aspects of his mum, Kim Tate, Alex added, "I think that becomes very apparent! I don't think there's any getting away from it, really.
"Jamie has tried and tried to stay away from the Tate line and the Tate way of living. But essentially he feels like he's been cornered with every choice that he's made.
"Every choice he's made has blown up in his face.
"Jamie starts to feel like there's no way out, other than to be ruthless. There's some really interesting stuff coming up, which people are probably going to hate Jamie for, but they'll find him intriguing as well."
Emmerdale airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7pm on ITV.
