Emmerdale bosses have given an honest assessment of facing up to criticism for challenging storylines.
In recent years, Emmerdale has arguably led the way with major storylines with Faith Dingle’s terminal cancer battle, Ahsley Thomas’ dementia and the handling of Marlon Dingle’s stroke all being praised. Although many plaudits have been given for the show’s handling of these major real-life subjects, of course, some do feel differently.
Emmerdale boss Jane Hudson has spoken about how the team handles positive and negative viewer reactions. As reported by Digital Spy, she said: "Laurel's termination received the most reaction. It was very negative before the episode aired, but then very positive once it had aired.”
