Many Emmerdale fans were left upset by scenes that aired on Friday, while others are predicting a "happy ending" for Arthur Thomas.
Arthur developed a crush on a boy at school, Marshall, and the two became close before Arthur was the victim of a cruel prank. He was left humiliated, but Marshall has since apologised for his actions.
Confessing his feelings, Marshall explained to Arthur that when he asked him for a date, he meant it, rather than it being to wind him up in front of an audience.
