Emmerdale fans have been left cringing, after Laurel walked in on Gabby and Kit sharing a kiss. In tonight's episode, all of Kit's chickens came home to roost as he struggled to juggle the two women.
The sly cheater had scheduled a date with Gabby and was planning to cook her a spaghetti bolognese. But, just as he was purchasing all the necessary ingredients, Laurel walked into the store and was told that the special meal was for her.
With a little bit of rescheduling - and a very Vicar of Dibley moment involving more than one of the same meal - Kit was able to pull off having a date with both Gabby and Laurel. But, just as he thought that he had gotten away with it, he was busted.

As Kit shared a passionate kiss with Gabby, Laurel let herself into the house and caught the two in the act. Not realising that Gabby was not aware of who Kit was, she fumed: "One man isn't enough for you?" Leaving Gabby very confused.
After a "this is Kit"/"no this is Chris" moment, the penny dropped and the two women realised that they had both been played. But Emmerdale fans were here for all the drama, with some wondering why producers had not drawn this storyline out a little longer.

@Matt528chap said: "And things have just turned Awkward with Laurel, Gabby and Kit the womanizer! Oh dear lord!" @Macnamara60 quizzed: Who’s going to be the first one to give Kit/Chris another chance? Lozza or Gabby?"
But the timing did not please @domain_harry, who asked: "so kit's been caught out already?! have the writers never heard of pacing?" On the other hand, @homebrew19721 was pleased that the storyline had concluded, adding: "Well at least this laurel, gabby kit storyline didn't drag on".
But it was not just Kit, Gabby and Laurel that were hit with some drama in tonight's episode, Marlon also got his fair share. On the eve of his wedding day, while having a "Dingle send off" with the lads, he collapsed.
In hospital, Marlon was given the relieving news that he had not had another stroke. But that did not mean that he was out of the woods, as the doctor told him that they would need to keep him in overnight for observation, telling Marlon that he may need to reschedule his big day.
