Emmerdale viewers were fighting back tears on Monday evening as they tuned into the latest episode of the ITV soap.
The latest instalment of the much-loved show saw poor Ryan (James Moore) receive some devastating news about his adoptive mum, Irene.
Struggling to get his head around her death, Ryan tried to contact Charity (Emma Atkins) about the sad news, but she rejected his call as she enjoyed a playdate with her ex Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick).
