Emmerdale viewers have mocked Noah Dingle's efforts to escape from the village as they called on him to finally take responsibility for his actions.
Friday night's episode began with Charity frantically searching for her son after she discovered he had lied about going to see a friend for a BBQ the night before. Thursday night's instalment of the much-loved show culminated in Noah grabbing a packed holdall and walking off into the sunset after earlier pleading guilty to harassing Chloe.
The dramatic exit left some fearing Noah was running away from his problems for good, and some feared he was thinking about taking his own life, but viewers soon discovered he had not managed to get very far.
