Angry Emmerdale fans call for 'drama queen' Matty to be axed as revenge plan backfires

Emmerdale fans spotted a major problem during tonight's episode as one character's revenge plan massively backfired.

Matty Barton has been cooking up a plan to get back at Suzy Merton after he found out that she gave his sister Holly money for drugs before she died from a heroin overdose. Wanting to make Suzy pay, he stalks her obsessively and watches her every move, waiting for an opportunity to execute his revenge.

When he finds a stash of drugs, he is convinced they are Suzy's when in fact it was Leyla who took them in for dealer Callum. He plants the drugs in the boot of Suzy's car and calls the police on her.

Viewers were less than impressed with his revenge plan and questioned whether he even thought about his own fingerprints when chucking the bag in the boot of Suzy's car. Taking to Twitter, they voiced their frustrations.

Carole tweeted: "Way to go @emmerdale! A comedy episode tonight. Matty the moron thinks that he can take on a drug baron? Stealing his drugs & placing them on someone?

"Leyla the Inhaler will probably end up pulp & more sh*t will end up on Moira's doorstep 'cos that lot will be seized." Chris P said: "Not wondering how this ridiculous plan of Matty's will play out more how they'll balls it up."

Michelle Jones questioned: "Was moron Matty even wearing gloves when he handled that bag of drugs." She added: "I hope Matty’s stupid plan to frame Susie backfires in his face big time."

Matthew Chapman wrote: "What in the name of wickedness is drama queen Matty doing?!" Darren Pattinson said: "Ever heard of fingerprints Matty?"

Nadezhda wrote: "Matty really needs to be written out of Emmerdale." And @runninoncaffine said: "Matty is giving me anger issues can't stand him."

Towards the end of the episode it became clear that Matty's plan massively backfired. Leyla, who had been terrified over the missing drugs, finds them in the boot of Suzy's car and takes them back before Suzy is stopped by the police.

Feeling trapped and with now way out of Callum's deal, she turns to drugs. Her husband returns home to find her collapsed on the ground and she is rushed to hospital following a suspected overdose.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV.
