Emmerdale viewers blast soap for ripping off storyline

It's all a bit 50 shades of cringe

It was a packed episode of Emmerdale this evening as Debbie got handy with her fists, and Lachlan nearly walked in on his grandad in a compromising position (cringe!).

Poor Lawrence is being played like a fiddle by scheming Robert, but he fell for the con artist’s trembling lower lip as he said how much he loved living in the village and how he enjoyed being part of the White family. Yeah, right.

As Lozza told Robert he was his rock and moved in for a snog, a disturbed Lachlan clocked the pair. Fortunately for Robert, no one believes anything lying Lockie says, so he’s still in the clear – for now!

And Gabby was skulking round looking VERY suspicious and refusing to speak to Pete Barton (got something to hide, Gabs?). But what really got the viewers talking was the childbirth cake Lydia wanted Victoria to make for Rebecca’s unconventional Halloween-themed baby shower.

“We’re going to need lots and lots of red food colouring,” she told a horrified Victoria.

Poor Vic said the cake would make hormonal Rebecca cry, and when Lydia showed the pic to Doug, he reeled in shock.

“That’s pornographic,” he spluttered.

But Lydia wasn’t put off.

“It’s natural,” she said.

Not sure we’d want a slice of that!

Meanwhile, Debbie was being groped by a sleazy businessman at a posh do she went to with smooth Tom Waterhouse.

But Debbie’s more than able to look after herself, so she landed a very impressive right hook on the fella’s jaw before Tom threw him out.

Viewers are not buying the character Tom or the plot though, finding it all a bit too 50 Shades of Grey. Yeah, THAT film…
