Emmerdale fans disappointed as mysterious new hooded character is unmasked

Emmerdale fans were full of theories when a mysterious hooded character turned up in tonight's episode and took a key to let himself into Rishi's house.

One Twitter user predicted it was Jacob breaking into the house. Another person thought a twist would be it being Lloyd, who was rushed to hospital recently after being attacked by Dan when he cornered Amelia.

Others were unsure, with Garry Enfield tweeting: "Who's that I wonder?" and David Hendry asking: "Who's the hood?"

The mysterious character, wearing a yellow hoodie under a blue jacket, searched until he found a key outside the house and let himself in. Many people criticised Rishi and Gail for the lack of security.

Jamie Summers tweeted: "If you leave a spare key under a rock outside your front door, you're a moron #Emmerdale." Similarly, Gavin Benecke wrote: "Who keeps a key under the plant pot these days #emmerdale."

It was later revealed that the 'break-in' was actually innocuous - the hooded character was new arrival Suni, played by Brahmedo Shannon Ramana. He's Rishi's nephew, here for his cousin Jai's wedding.

His arrival had already been teased, and some viewers weren't too impressed by the misdirection.

Megara tweeted: "Oh please don't tell me yellow hoodie person is another pointless character #Emmerdale." One user said: "Another boring character."

However, user @McWhiskers said: "#emmerdale Hope Suni stays - we need happy characters...there's too many moaners at the moment."

Elsewhere in the episode, a falling apart Dan exploded at Amelia. He was comforted by David as he drank alcohol under a tree.
