Fans of Emmerdale were taken aback while watching tonight's episode.
The village's vicar, Charles Anderson, landed himself in hot water during a dramatic scene where he unleased a violent side and revealed a huge twist all within seconds. He is normally known for his good-hearted guidance but tonight he found himself in a police cell after attacking a barman.
It comes after Charles' son Ethan received a text from his mum, and Charles' ex partner, revealing his sister Naomi had gone missing. Since then, the dad was on a mission to find her - but she wasn't aware they were related.

Things came to a head in this evening's episode of the ITV soap when Charles spotted Naomi in a pub. However, he interrupted a disagreement between her and a barman.
Charles reacted viciously as he slammed the barman to the ground. He yelled: "Stay away from my daughter!" But, Naomi fled the pub without reacting to the revelation.
Fans on Twitter couldn't believe the change in character of the priest. Ryan said: "WOW that was dramatic #Emmerdale." Another user said: "You couldn't approach that any worse Charles #Emmerdale."
Planet said: "Daughter found Charles but have you landed yourself in trouble #Emmerdale." Meanwhile, Mike said: "That’s one way of introducing yourself Charles #Emmerdale."
