Fuming Emmerdale fans have branded it a "village of adultery", during tonight's double-bill which saw Liam and Bernice share a kiss. The awkward moment cropped up after the pair had taken a "trip down memory lane" in the salon.
With Leyla just out of rehab, fans have branded Liam an "utter s**t" for his ill-timed betrayal. Many fans asked what on earth he was thinking - and they were not the only ones wondering.
Liam himself admitted to Bernice that he "didn't know what possessed [him]". And Bernice responded that their "trip down memory lane" was a "trip too far", before she demanded that he tell Leyla what had happened.

Not wanting to be the "other woman", Bernice's conscience was getting the better of her. Later on in the episode, she even offered to be there when Liam tells Leyla.
But fans could not believe what they were seeing, as Liam had been trying to save his relationship with Leyla one minute - and then cheating on her the next. @lesleylyness said: "ohhh you utter s**t Liam".
@DionPetrie said: "Oh Liam" followed by a facepalm emoji. @unsworth1live said: "Liam what are you doing?" And @homebrew19721 said: "Liam and bernice are made for each other both a pair of t***s".
@VampLover27 agreed, saying: "Bernice is a better match for Liam than Leyla ever was". But @RyanGSoapKing11 said: "Oh Liam what have you done!!!!"
@MickJoh14113441 said: "Liam you dirty dog...." @MeeshyJay said: "Muppet Liam (another cheat) can’t act and has about as much sex appeal as a stuffed cushion". And @deanosbeanos said: "It's now just a village of adultery".
Towards the end of the episode, Leyla and Liam had agreed to move forward with their relationship and even agreed to move back in with one another. But, just when it seemed that everything was falling into place, Bernice revealed what had happened.
After seeing Liam and Leyla chatting in the street, Bernice assumed that Liam had finally told her what happened. When she had a moment alone with Leyla, she let slip that the kiss "meant nothing", with Leyla left shellshocked at the revelation.
What did you think of the kiss between Liam and Bernice? Let us know in the comments.
