ALEX Moore was left for dead on an isolated road during a recent trip to the Dales.
The police soon point a finger to Emmerdale vicar Charles Anderson, who was involved in a heated altercation with the villain.
Is everything really as it seems when it comes to village thug Alex Moore?
The character portrayed by Liam Boyle recently rocked up the Dales again and appeared to have his act together.
However, it was soon clear that he was back to his old tricks as he planned to rob the GP surgery of all the drugs he could find.
But as mentioned above, Alex's plans came to a staggering halt when a car driven by a mystery person drove into him.
