Emmerdale fans have appeared to have made a major u-turn over one character after his latest involvement in Amelia Spencer and Noah Dingle's relationship. The teens officially become boyfriend and girlfriend in scenes aired in the ITV soap earlier this week.
Despite him cruelly rejecting her earlier this year, Noah had a change of heart about his feelings for Amelia was the only person to visit him in prison after he was given a custodial sentence for stalking his ex Chloe. Noah has since returned the favour and became the 15-year-old's confidant after he discovered she was pregnant.
And as the news about her secret pregnancy outed, Amelia's dad Dan was quick to assume Noah was the father. But it was in fact another Dingle - Samson to be exact. But things haven't exactly gone smoothly with the school leaver desperate to avoid his new parental responsibilities.
Earlier this week, viewers also saw Amelia share her plans to run away from the village. Noah told her she couldn't go to London to her brother Sean but she suggested he go too and that she'll tell him they were together. Amelia then got upset as she told Noah he 'hadn't asked' her to be an official couple leading the pair to share a sweet moment as they become boyfriend and girlfriend despite Amelia's family disapproval.
But during Wednesday night's trip to the Dales, Amelia's 16th birthday celebrations were ruined when Noah decided to break off their relationship. The teen had excitedly glammed up to go and meet her new boyfriend, ditching her dad, Harriet Finch and Kerry Wyatt who were on hand to help her celebrate her coming of age.
However, it all ended in heartbreak when Noah told Amelia they couldn't be together because she was having someone else's child. Unbeknownst to Amelia, her dad Dan had a word with Noah, warning him off his daughter. Despite thanking him from stopping her from running away, he warned: "If you’ve got any feelings for her, you’ll back off,’ he said, ordering Noah to find an excuse to dump Amelia, "Or you’ll have me to deal with."
While Amelia was none the wiser, Harriet had caught on and realised Dan must have had a word with Noah over the sudden change of heart. While he tried to deny having anything to do with it, Harriet warned Dan that the truth would come out and he risks losing his daughter.
And Dan's scheming has led Emmerdale viewers to change their opinions of the former soap favourite. Dot Turner wrote on Facebook: "Not liking Dan much at the moment why does everyone have to end up being awful to someone else all the time." Carole Barns commented: "Dan so out of order. His daughter is pregnant and scared but finds some happiness and he does that!"
Dee Bryce shared: "Dan is so so wrong, let poor Amelia decided, at least Noah cares for the girl more them Samson." Joyce Overton fumed: "Dan is getting on my nerves."
Meanwhile, Emmerdale fans were also distracted by Amelia's missing baby bump, claiming it had 'disappeared' between episodes. @TVMusings22 tweeted: "One minute Amelia has a bump and next thing she doesn’t? http://Confused.com #emmerdale."
@GeorgiaBowring asked: "#Emmerdale Where’s Amelia’s bump gone?" But @PureArtMV replied: "Not sure where her bump has gone But her hand seems too be glued to her stomach!"
