Emmerdale fans have said they were left in 'disbelief' as they continued to watch the ITV soap's latest affair unfold. Earlier this week, Wendy Posner and Liam Cavanagh let the excitement get the better of them after hiding their hidden interest from their friends and loved ones.
It comes after Wendy discovered her colleague's secret talent for writing his very own murder mysteries. Liam started putting pen to paper following his marriage split from Leyla, which came after the shocking death of his daughter.
The GP has been submitting short stories to Murder Most Murky, a bi-annual murder mystery publication and found his alter-ego up for an award after Wendy helped him with his latest efforts after discovering what he was really hiding on his laptop.

With the awards ceremony moved online, Wendy joined Liam at the doctor's surgery, in full 1920s flapper girl attire, and after Liam's alter ego won the award, Wendy, who is in a relationship with B&B owner Bob, and Liam shared a kiss before things got more passionate between the pair.
During Tuesday night's trip to the Dales, it was the morning after the night before and Wendy woke up blurry-eyed and naked on the doctor's surgery bed. She was mortified by what happened and felt guilty for cheating on Bob, putting her encounter with Liam down to a night of drunken passion.
However, elsewhere in the village, Bob was struggling with his own feelings as he nearly cheated on Wendy with Bernice Blackstock. But Wendy was struggling to hide the truth and shared her concerns with Liam. While he was quite blase about their interaction, the pair struggled to resist each other and once again kissed in the doctor's surgery but Wendy retracted and left before things went any further.

And while some are loving the idea of the new partnership, others Emmerdale viewers were stunned by what they were seeing. @GavinEvs tweeted: "I'm in disbelief at what shite I'm watching #emmerdale." @TvandFilmsUK said:" Get a room #Emmerdale," alongside a sick face emoji.
@Samanth22356123 laughed: "If there’s a category in this years soap awards for “weirdest episode” this one wins it!!!!!! #Emmerdale." @mikepriestley13 said: "Wendy and Liam isn’t the affair i thought I was going to see in 2023 if I’m being honest #Emmerdale." @emmer_fail wrote: "I can’t believe how down I am for Wendy and Liam #emmerdale." @x_beaumont_x asked: "Why am I loving Wendy and Liam!? #emmerdale." @cupcakecoutur12 added: "I’m quite liking this Wendy and Liam thing #emmerdale."
Others, however, have been quick to call out Wendy about her claims that she is unable to lie to Bob. @BallumsHouse tweeted: "You’d think Wendy would be good at lying considering she’s lied about her nursing career for so long #Emmerdale." @TanyaAn35180018 posted: "Wendy struggling to lie? Yeah right, fake nurse. #emmerdale."
@itzzzo_ complained: "Why can't Wendy lie much longer? Her and Liam have been lying about her being a real f*****g nurse for long enough yet all of a sudden she's got a conscience. #Emmerdale." @teenamassam said: "Wendy saying she can’t lie anymore, I thought she was good at it tbh being a ‘nurse’ fake nurse Wendy #emmerdale."
