"Zack Hudson is an unpredictable troublemaker who lives life in the fast lane," the hit show describes James' character.
"A lone wolf, Zack had a difficult childhood that has left him determined to never rely on anyone or become too attached."
But that's not all - Zack is described as a "ladies' man", with the description adding: "Zack is sure to ruffle a few feathers when he arrives."
Excited to be starring on the soap, born and bred Londoner James addressed his characters troublesome nature.
"Zack certainly has a very complicated past and there is a real depth to him that I can't wait to explore," he revealed.
However with the news that Sharon Watts’ biological father Gavin Sullivan will soon die in scenes to air in March, fans have begun speculating that there’s a connection.
They know think that Zack will be revealed to be Gavin’s son - and Sharon’s brother.

One wrote: “I wonder if this new Zack character announced the other day could be related - perhaps it’s Gavin’s son? Would give Sharon a sibling…”
A second said: “I suppose they could retcon it so that Gavin is revealed to be the father of Carol Hanley's other children, making them Sharon's full blood siblings. It's a relatively easy retcon to swallow.”
Another added: “My thought on him was could he be Dennis Rickmans son or a brother of him, but Gavin’s son could be a good call.”
