Emmerdale fans were left emotional as Arthur Thomas came out as gay. In recent episodes, viewers of the ITV soap were worried for the teen as he appeared troubled and unlike his usual self. Fans had been hoping for a sweet young romance between Arthur and April Windsor but the schoolboy fobbed his friend off.
April feared Arthur was avoiding her due to her feelings and after being teased about his relationship with April by Noah Dingle, Arthur was seen crying at his late father Ashley Thomas's grave.
During Monday night's trip to the fictional Yorkshire village, viewers saw Arthur's hidden woes continue. After being teased by Jimmy in the cafe, he later snapped at April when she challenged him on avoiding her. Marcus, who appeared to want to take Arthur under his wing, again showed his support before Charles Anderson also spoke to the youngster and suggested he speak to his son, Ethan.
