Fans of Emmerdale were outraged as Noah Dingle 'kidnapped' baby Esther on Friday's episode.
Noah spotted Samson spending more time with his daughter, who he doesn't want, in the café on the ITV soap. The baby was crying uncontrollably as Noah insisted she needed changing.
However, Samson continued looking at his phone ignoring the upset infant as he said "she's fine." Noah erupted saying: "She's not fine!"

He jumped out of his seat and approached Esther in the pram, checking in on her as she continued to wine and fuss. He said: "Why do you even have her if you're not going to look after her?"
Samson snapped back saying: "Because she's my kid and I can do what I want. You've changed mate, you've gone right soft." Noah decided to take matters into his own hands as he yelled: "You're a nasty piece of work." He took the pram and wheeled it away from Samson.
But fans on Twitter thought Noah's actions were out of order. Ryan said: "Don't trust Samson's intentions with Esther at all. He's only getting close to her to get under Noah's skin. #Emmerdale."
Pam said: "Oh dear Noah really has taken the bitterest pill #Emmerdale." Ben added: "Sod Off Noah that's technically kidnapping #Emmerdale."
Meanwhile others applauded the character for his actions. Michelle said: "Even Noah's a better father figure to Esther than you are Samson!! #Emmerdale."
