Emmerdale fans have 'changed their minds' on one character as they were shocked to see Cain Dingle's 'replacement' take centre stage. During the latest edition of the ITV soap on Wednesday night (April 5), fans saw Charles Anderson announce to Billy Fletcher that Alex Moore was awake.
The news comes after Billy confessed to the hit and run that saw Alex fighting for his left in the hospital to the village vicar, who is currently the prime suspect in the police investigation. Viewers jumped as drug dealer Alex was mowed down in scenes aired last week as his panicked plan to steal medical drugs from the surgery played out.
But fans were furious to see that it was Billy behind the wheel after he had just been legally granted step-dad rights to Alex's children, Lucas, who he shares with Billy's wife Dawn, and Clemmie. Upon news of Alex coming round, Charles, who has instructed Billy to keep quiet, headed to the hospital to find out what Alex remembered from the accident.
