Emmerdale's Pierce Harris is set to target his nemesis, Vanessa Woodfield, in upcoming scenes as the village recovers from Graham Foster's death.

Pierce, played by Jonathan Wrather, is responsible for Graham's murder, but the locals have no clue he has returned to the dales.

Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) is set to become Pierce's next victim, as she comes face-to-face with the convicted rapist in a gut-wrenching kidnapping scene.

As Rhona Goskirk's (Zoe Henry) best friend, Vanessa never disguised her hatred towards Pierce, who assaulted Rhona on their wedding night.

Emmerdale spoilers have revealed that Vanessa will happen across Pierce outside The Woolpack, shocked to see him in the village.
