Emmerdale fans have slammed "the world's longest goodbye" after Chloe Harris announced she would leave the village with her unborn baby.
The mum-to-be appeared conflicted about her departure and harbouring notions that the baby's dad, Mackenzie Boyd, would ask her to stay. However, Mack, who is now engaged to Charity Dingle, instead said he would not stop Chloe from leaving and would "not think of this baby ever again".
Tonight's episode was taken up by Chloe "leaving" the village as she said goodbye to friend Sarah Sugden. Viewers thought the scenes were dragged out unnecessarily and said they were convinced she would be back for Christmas.
