Emmerdale fans have been left fearing for Amelia Spencer’s safety after her kidnapper revealed her dark side.
In disturbing scenes shown on Thursday night (21 June), Amelia’s mysterious abductor lashed out at the schoolgirl.
The girl, known only as Beth, is holding Amelia in a run-down house in Hotten.

We learnt more about the worrying hostage situation, as it was revealed that vulnerable Amelia had befriended Beth in an online chatroom.
She then turned to her new friend after discovering her ‘uncle’ Daz is really her biological dad.
While the two girls seem to be friendly, it later became obvious that Beth has an ulterior motive and is manipulating Amelia into rejecting her family.

She has also convinced Amelia that no one is looking for her. Sob!
In fact, that couldn’t be further from the truth, as her family are frantic with worry and have launched a police appeal.
More worryingly, Beth exhibited signs of violent behaviour when Amelia found her hidden mobile phone.
Accusing Amelia of betraying her, Beth turned on the youngster, smashed the phone against a wall and screamed at her.
Fans are now worried that Beth is grooming and manipulating Amelia.
Is she being brainwashed?

She’s been manipulated by someone in a chat room and befriended, smart as she is she’s still a kid and not as world wise as we think. This lady is essentially brainwashing her and may well have been doing so for months, Amelia turned to her in a bad situation and she capitalised.

One fan wrote: “Beth is manipulating Amelia into believing her family dont care.”
Another said: “Beth is brainwashing you Amelia.”
A third frustrated watcher tweeted: “Come on Amelia, use your brain. Don’t believe that Beth, she is using you.”
Just what is Beth’s agenda? And is she capable of hurting Amelia in another fury?
Or will Amelia’s worried family find her first?
