Emmerdale fans were left picking their jaws up off the floor on Friday, as David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden returned after months away.
The pair had gone on holiday together after the tense survival week which saw serial killer Meena Jutla wreak havoc – murdering Andrea Tate and attempting to drown Victoria.
But David looked completely different upon his return, having undergone an incredible hair transformation.
Usually recognisable by his floppy blonde locks, David – played by actor Matthew Wolfenden – had shaved his head and bleached his hair a lighter shade of blonde, giving him an edgy look.
Meanwhile Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) had let her brunette hair grow out more into a sleek bob, and the pair were positively beaming as they took over the shop from David’s son Jacob.
And fans quickly flocked to Twitter to share their impressions of the new ‘do, with one writing: “David and his snazzy new haircut!”
As someone else echoed: “So David and Victoria are back and omg what has David done to his hair?”
“Oh I see David’s back with a new hairdo… that Jacob hasn’t noticed! #Emmerdale,” another posted.
Others were keen to compare David to iconic rap star Eminem, as one quipped: “Guess who’s back, back again, David’s back, looking like Em & Em!”

“David rocking the Slim Shady look!” another giggled.
Someone else reckoned he looked more like footie ace David Beckham as they penned: “Anything Beckham does David does too!”
Later in Monday’s episode, David and Victoria were too busy juggling babysitting duties to think about the legacy murderer Meena left in the village.

On Thursday night she was seen on-screen for the first time in weeks, confirming that she was headed to “a port” in Scotland with a trucker.
But upon seeing a ‘save the date’ on social media for Billy and Dawn’s wedding, she confirmed she would be heading back to the Dales – with plenty of fans anticipating a Valentine’s Day massacre.
Taking to Twitter last night, one fan wrote: “Valentine’s Day massacre… coming up!”
Someone else quickly echoed: “Oh dear Valentine’s Day massacre part 2!”, while a third viewer wrote: “Valentine’s Day? Uh oh! Are we looking at a Valentine’s Day bloodbath Meena style?” – and it’s certainly a possibility.
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7pm on ITV.
