Emmerdale fans have had a mixed response to the special lockdown episodes the soap has made a special effort to produce.
Over the last few weeks, two-hander lockdown episodes have aired instead of usual episodes.
In last night’s episode (Monday, June 22) viewers saw Chas and Paddy’s episode. During the visit to the Dales, viewers learned how the couple handled lockdown together.
The pair had a series of small arguments. But in the end, they managed to make things up as they started to appreciate their time together.
However, not all viewers were impressed with the episode and have said they’re getting fed up with the ‘boring’ lockdown specials.
These lockdown episodes are a bit boring. You can tell the writing has been rushed. Should’ve just had one hour-long instead focusing on all families. #Emmerdale

Sick of these pointless lockdown episodes. Watch soaps to get away from all that crap it's boring I'd rather they took a break like Eastenders #emmerdale

it's a bad day when the ad break is more enjoyable than the show you're watching.
yet that's the way it's been with #Emmerdale since the start of these boring lockdown episodes😒— Jehan (@1stLadyHooligan) June 22, 2020
These lockdown episodes are kinda boring. I'm switching off until filming goes back to normal and when they don't have to make it obvious that they're trying to social distance. It looks bloody ridiculous on camera. #Emmerdale.
