Emmerdale came under fire from fans over a "secret message" in tonight's episode.
Kim Tate hosted Thomas' christening at Home Farm in Thursday's hour long edition of the ITV soap. Thomas is Kim's grandchild from her son Jamie's relationship with Gabby Thomas.
Jamie hasn't been seen in the Yorkshire Dales since his dramatic exit when his car crashed into a lake last October. The character, played by Alexander Lincoln, also had a daughter with Andrea Tate named Millie.

Millie has been living with Andrea's mum, Hazel, since Jamie's disappearance. Kim was thrilled when she managed to convince Hazel to bring Millie to the christening. The two attended the glitzy party at Home Farm, but Hazel issued a warning to her granddaughter to not mention anything about her dad. Jamie was confirmed to still be alive after Hazel called him at the end of last night's episode.
However, Millie accidentally spilled the secret when she delivered a message to baby Thomas. She said: "I've got secrets about our daddy. Do you understand what I'm saying, Thomas? But you're not allowed to tell anybody. It's a secret message from our daddy. He told me to say he loves you and is going to do everything he can to see you soon."
Gabby heard the whole message as it was broadcast through Thomas' baby monitor. The character, played by Rosie Bentham, was reeling with shock after the revelation but viewers on Twitter criticised the way the secret was exposed for a lack of originality.
Bebop said: "A baby monitor, how do they come up with these original ideas"
Zombie404 added: "How many secrets over the years on tv have been revealed by the curse that is the baby monitor"
Gav posted: "Ah, yes. The ole overhearing on the baby monitor ploy"
Owen tweeted: "Soaps love doing the baby monitor reveal thing don’t they"
Mitchell posted : "The famous ”baby Monitor reveal!”
