Max Parker on Emmerdale love triangle speculation

Max Parker understands why some viewers want Luke Posner and Aaron Dingle to be a couple.

The \'Emmerdale\' actor has responded to the fan theory speculating over a romantic connection between his character and Danny Miller\'s alter ego, and while he thinks a love triangle with Victoria Barton (Isabel Hodgins) would be "fun", he doesn\'t think it will happen.

He told Digital Spy: "I think the idea is fun, but I think what the fans want to see is very different [from the storyline].

"I see a lot of things online where people are like \'No!\' and then others say \'Yes!\' I just think that, at the minute, Luke has only got eyes for Victoria.

"I think a lot of time in soap episodes, with people that hate each other and have a feud, people are always going to speculate about whether they actually like each other and stuff. But I don\'t think so."

The 28-year-old soap star also addressed the idea Luke - whose brother Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie) raped Victoria and later died after her brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) left him in a coma - could become a bad guy on the ITV soap, and he suggested his character "needs purpose".

He explained: "Well, I don\'t know. I relate Luke a lot to myself. He\'s very assured, he\'s very cheeky and a showman, but there\'s definitely some cogs broken inside.

"It doesn\'t necessarily mean he\'s going to be a bad guy, but it means that he needs something. He needs someone like Victoria.

"He needs purpose, or maybe he needs to be fighting to be the favourite child. I don\'t think you\'ve seen all sides of Luke just yet."
