Emmerdale fans 'almost switch off' after spotting glaring error

Emmerdale viewers noticed a glaring error during Thursday's instalment of the long-running ITV soap.

This week's fourth trip to the Dales continued to hone in on Leyla's drug addiction. The character, played by Roxy Shahidi, has been living a double life for weeks, hiding her cocaine habit from her husband Liam and her son, Jacob.

Leyla has recently been trying to stop taking the drug, with little success. She has even taken to blackmailing Suzy to get the number of a dealer.

The wedding planner had been enjoying secret benders with Suzy prior to her arrival in the village. But Suzy has calmed down since moving to Emmerdale - and finding out she was the one who sold drugs to Moira's daughter Holly before her death caused by an overdose.

After Suzy intercepted a drug deal between Leyla and her dealer in Wednesday's episode, Leyla then accused Suzy of being the reason Holly died. Suzy was distraught and pleaded for her to get help.

But the latest episode saw Leyla demand Suzy give her her dealer's number. After asking for the number, she said: "Or do you want me to come round to Vanessa's later when you're having your tea with Jonny and ask for it then?"

A horrified Suzy said: "You really are pathetic. Do you know that?", before throwing the number down and declaring Leyla was "on her own". But many soap fans spotted a problem with the scenes. Taking to Twitter, Jessica said: "Seriously though why doesn't Suzy just say 'You tell Vanessa and I'll tell Liam/Jacob/David/Everyone'. Honestly idk why I haven't turned over".

Owen said: "Why doesn't Suzy just tell Liam? Leyla's got more to lose than she has", while Carole said: "Why didn't Suzy threaten to tell Liam?". Chris P said: "Suzy must be thick cos she never said 'ok tell her I'll tell Liam, David or... JACOB u nasty blackmailing wee moo'. Stupid story". [sic]
