ITV Emmerdale viewers fume as they spot 'problem' with fan favourite's final farewell

Emmerdale viewers were fuming as they spotted a problem with a fan favourite's final farewell.

October was a dramatic month as the long-running soap celebrated its 50th anniversary. Show bosses warned a number of key characters would be killed off as the soap marked the landmark event.

The legendary Sally Dexter bowed out of the show as Faith Dingle died in heartbreaking scenes. The death kicked off even more drama as a ferocious storm ripped through the village.

Harriet Finch and Liv Dingle were both casualties in the storm. The Dingles held a joint funeral for Liv and Faith last week as the village gathered to say their final goodbyes.

Harriet's funeral took place in tonight's programme, but viewers following the show on Twitter were baffled when the ceremony took place off screen. Characters such as Dan and Amelia Spencer were shown at the wake, but viewers wanted to see the funeral as they urged the show to "do better".

Simon commented: "So Harriet doesn’t even get an on screen funeral. They’ve really done that character a disservice. Do better"

Paul said: "Faith and Liv get a whole funeral with all the villagers, Harriet gets a wake full of extras.."

Gavin posted: "She, deserved a good send off, or is that for Dingles only!"

Joanne commented: "Why's poor Harriet's death and funeral been so overlooked? Noone seems upset,poor Harriet"

Nwando tweeted: "So, Liv got half a funeral and Harriet only gets a wake? I'd hate to see the send off for characters they don't like! That's really quite poor."

Bernice added: "Well poor Harriet didn’t get a proper funeral tell she wasn’t a Dingle"

Mike said: "So we didn’t even see a funeral for Harriet just a little wake? Seems unfair when the other characters got a full blown episode of a funeral"

Ryan tweeted: "So we get Harriet's wake but not the formal funeral? Little bit pointless"
