ITV Emmerdale bosses accused of 'ruining' character as 'shocking' twist teased

Emmerdale viewers have hit out at producers for "ruining" one of the soap's characters as actress Daisy Spencer teases a "shocking" twist in upcoming episodes.

The revelation that 15-year-old Amelia Spencer is pregnant has caused quite the uproar. The teen found out she was expecting after she fainted while babysitting Thomas.

She previously thought her blurred vision and dizzy spells were to do with taking a weight syrup she had bought online. However, a trip to the hospital revealed the real reason for her health issues with many now wondering who the baby daddy is.

Viewers are really feeling for the girl right now after more drama followed. She and dad Dan were kicked out of their home by Kate Tate and Gabby, and Amelia, desperate to see Noah in prison, was then caught stealing Gabby's visiting order.

Actress Daisy Campbell has been showered in praise for her portrayal of the teenage girl but fans are "vexed" with the show's writers. Many fear Amelia's character is worsening and that she is being given too many scenes on the show.

Chris P wrote on Twitter: "Emmerdale those at the top of Emmerdale have to ruin every single character. It's like they're on a mission to destroy."

Luna said: "Amelia's certainly gotten as entitled as Noah. Maybe that is his spawn she's carrying, exerting its evil influence on her...."

@Ockeghem1497 said: "Emmerdale couldn't even just leave Amelia as a normal, nice teenage girl - they had to turn her into a criminal as well!"

Pam said: "Is there a syrup Amelia can get on the internet that'll make her the nice young woman she once was. They have ruined her character. I'm quite vexed."

Sal wrote: "Amelia is going to get on my nerves in about a week with the way she’s in almost every scene. Make it two days."

It comes after Daisy Campbell teased that fans will be "shocked" by an upcoming twist for her character. The 18-year-old said Amelia would now have to decide whether she would go through with an abortion.

Speaking to Metro, she said: "I think the stuff that’s coming up will maybe shock a lot of the audience. I can’t give too much away but I think for Amelia this is her time to really grow up in the show.

"Obviously she’s been in the show since she was younger so everyone’s always seen her as this kid. I think now she’s really going to change."

During this week's episodes a resident will also find out about Amelia's secret as well as her due date. Spoilers reveal that Amelia will bump into Charity Dingle after her appointment at the clinic and the overwhelmed teen decides to confide in her.

The news lead to Charity believing her son Noah is the dad. Viewers have come to the same conclusion recently but some are not convinced and think it might be his cousin Samson Dingle.

Emmerdale every weekday on ITV at 7.30pm. Stream episodes at the ITV Hub.
