Emmerdale viewers were left similarly distracted by a seeming blunder during the latest episode of the ITV soap, as Leyla Cavanagh was kidnapped by her former drug dealer in shock scenes.
ITV fans at home were nonplussed as to why nobody nearby came to her aid, after Leyla ran into Callum on a night out.
Leyla was inspired to try and dob him in it with the police – only for her plan to spectacularly backfire.
He later got in touch with her to arrange a meet-up, only for the situation to take a nasty turn when he bungled her into his own car.
Viewers despaired over Leyla's lack of apparent common sense, as they took to Twitter to react to the scenes on Tuesday night.
One wrote: “For god's sake Leyla, as if you'd go alone to meet that nutter!”
A second echoed: “Definitely never give a dodgy person money and demand they stay away! They never definitely always come back for more!"
A third penned: "There is stupid and there is stupid, but what Leyla just did is worse."
Meanwhile, other eagle-eyed viewers couldn't help but notice the wedding planner was being kidnapped by Callum on the main road leading up to the village, where traffic is normally chock-a-block, leaving them wondering how nobody saw Leyla's ordeal.
"Isn’t that the main road to the village and yet no one drives along it", one fan penned.
The kidnapping scenes came about after Leyla tried to take action into her own hands and recorded incriminating footage of Callum on the night out, showing him in the midst of yet another drug deal.
But Leyla soon regretted antagonising Callum, as he responded by threatening to hurt Jacob again.
Callum also attacked Leyla's best friend Suzy Merton when he found out that she was plotting against him too.
Caleb Miligan noticed Leyla in distress and went to check on her. Sharing some advice, he suggested that she should play to win when it comes to Callum.
After giving this some thought, Leyla texted Callum and arranged to meet up so they could sort things out once and for all.
Leyla gave Callum the money – but the situation escalated when Leyla was kidnapped by Callum.
