Just for the record, this isn't me. This is a character I'm playing".[2] In June 2024, he debuted on *[Emmerdale](/source/Emmerdale)* as troublemaker Josh Cope.[1] The character harassed [trans man](/source/Trans_man) character [Matty Barton](/source/Matty_Barton), whose actor [Ash Palmisciano](/source/Ash_Palmisciano) said "I think the audience will really dislike [Josh Cope] but that's because [Osian Morgan] nailed it and did such a good job".[3]

Having previously played dominant villains, Morgan enjoyed playing a vulnerable character.[4]
