Ray has been manipulating April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and her boyfriend Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) into delivering and selling drugs for him.
But when we learned that Celia has been pulling the strings all along, it became clear that Ray, while ruthless, isn't half as dangerous as her!
"And you see above him is [Celia], who he's terrified of and attached to in a sort of maternal sense. He's very much the child and the subservient one," he added.
"Whereas with Dylan and April, he's kind of the dominator, if you like, or the driving force of most of those things. Most of my scenes are different with those two guys to what you see with [Celia], who's this very formidable, strident character."
While Celia's more tactile moments seem to be used to keep Ray in line, there's another, warmer opportunity to see Ray's softer side when he takes a genuine shine to Laurel!
"I think when he meets Laurel, there's something that brings a side out to him that he didn't know he was going to have, but the writers did. I like it because it has a different side of it. It's more human.
"So we see in episodes later, not flashbacks, but little hints of what his life has been like. So I think to me, Laurel is this kind of woman who has a business and a family and children are kind of, you know, interesting. She lives in a nice house.
But despite the possibility of love on the horizon, Ray will turn his attention back to crime, discovering that Dylan has gone behind his back and stolen some money after a job.
"So it's a real moment where he realises he may be losing a grip on these two people and that he has to now take it to a different level and try and get them back and get the money back and get them back onside. So it's a risk of losing everything, really."
But Absolom is enjoying his time on Emmerdale, summing up what he's been up to since stepping into the role of Ray.
