Emmerdale fans slam ITV soap's 'bad decision' as they slate Naomi storyline

Emmerdale fans were not impressed as they tuned into Tuesday evening's episode and saw more of Naomi Walters.

The latest instalment of the ITV soap saw Naomi grilled by police, including Harriet Finch, after her biological Charles Anderson ended up in hospital. Manpreet was convinced that Naomi had attacked Charles and compared her to her killer sister Meena - leaving both Charles and his son Ethan unimpressed.

However, when Naomi was released from questioning, Manpreet was left feeling guilty and asked to meet her with her. Naomi took her biological mother Esme along with her, but ended up asking her to leave as she tore into Manpreet.

Manpreet said: "It's just that erm... I've been having a few difficulties," as Esme butted in: "Oh here we go, poor little Manpreet!"

"Will you back off!" Naomi told her as Esme argued: "These people are wrecking your life! She's already had you in a cell overnight."

"Seriously, I can handle it!" Naomi fired back before adding: "Some space would be good."

"This is between you and me, she doesn't need to be involved," Naomi told Manpreet once her mum had gone.

"I want to make things right," Manpreet told her, before saying none of it is Charles' fault.

"Like you care about Charles! Why are you so determined to mess things up between us? Telling lies about me? Making out I'm some sort of psycho?" Naomi said bluntly.

As Manpreet apologised again, Naomi told her: "You need to get off my case and you need to pray for a miracle if you ever want Charles to forgive you," before walking off.

Many soap fans tuning in were not enjoying the storyline at all and are keen for Naomi to leave the Dales. Taking to Twitter, one person said: "# Emmerdale This Naomi girl is a very unwelcome addition to the programme!"

Another person posted: "This Naomi is miserable, moany, obnoxious...get rid please #emmerdale." A third viewer tweeted: "#emmerdale The Naomi character is annoying. Bad decision emmerdale," and a fourth person added: "Do one Naomi #emmerdale."

Someone else posted: "Don’t see the point of this Naomi character and the adoption story. Just why? #emmerdale."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
