Matty and Les in Emmerdale

Emmerdale fans have called for Matty Barton‘s cellmate Les to be made a permanent character. Les was introduced shortly after Matty was imprisoned for stabbing Samson Dingle.

He and Matty have struck up a friendship after Matty confided in Les about being transgender. Les has defended Matty against transphobic Robbo while in prison, helping him to feel less fearful.

Emmerdale: Matty attacked in prison

Matty has been having a tough time in prison, especially after transphobic Robbo found out he is a trans man.

Thankfully, Matty’s cellmate Les has been on his side and defended him against Robbo. However, Matty was left terrified when Les revealed he was being released from prison in Tuesday’s episode (July 9.)

Matty was seen scrambling for a way to keep himself safe in Les’ absence. Moira and Amy then received a call from the prison, informing them Matty had been hospitalised. The pair arrived to find Matty battered and bruised, but he refused to admit who had attacked him.

It was later revealed Les had beaten Matty up to help him get out of prison and avoid Robbo. Their plan didn’t quite work out however, as Matty was told he’d be heading back to prison the next day.

How will Matty cope without Les’ support in prison?
