Emmerdale storyline so brutal it’s compared to The Walking Dead!

The episode was pretty violent...

We’re still in shock after recent occurrences in Emmerdale – and it looks like fans of the soap are too.

Emmerdale aka Fight Club 2, has been compared to The Walking Dead following a super violent episode.

The ITV soap featured three punch-ups in less than 30 minutes on Tuesday night’s episode.

The first fight saw Zak Dingle hit Jermaine after mistakenly accusing him of flirting with someone else behind Belle’s back.

Later on in the episode, Ross and Dan had a face off for the first time since Dan found out about his fling with Kerry.

“You could act like a decent human being for a change,” Dan said.

“Aren’t you ashamed at what you’ve done, ruining my life for a bet?”

Ross really wasn’t sorry at all, and got himself a huge fist to the face.

Later on in the episode Ross got sweet revenge and  knocked him clean out with a punch, then woke him up by pouring water on his face.

The scenes shocked a lot of viewers who took to social media to share their reactions.

One said: “It’s like the walking dead or something…”

Other users also compared it to the zombie apocalypse series…

Luckily, there were no complaints from viewers to the broadcaster.

The writers of Emmerdale have definitely been watching the hit US TV show…
