ITV Emmerdale fans fume at Billy Fletcher for 'beyond stupid' mistakes

Emmerdale fans were fuming at newlyweds Billy Fletcher and Dawn Taylor as they tried to avoid being bumped off by Meena Jutla.

The couple had barely said their vows when they were kidnapped by the nurse turned serial killer.

Meena returned to get her own back on Billy after he dumped her to reunite with Dawn.

With the bride looking set to be killed by the evil character, Dawn fought back and had Meena knocked to the ground.

But she revealed that if she died, she'd never see her son Lucas again as she had attacked Harriet who was looking after him.

In Wednesday night's episode of the ITV soap, Meena let Dawn go to find her son who Meena had hidden in the playhouse in the back garden after knocking Harriet out cold.

As Meena drove away in the limo she nicked, Dawn had to get back to the village by foot and Billy was left tied up.

However, he managed to free himself and rushed to help Leyla Cavanagh who had been shot by Meena after going out looking for the bride and groom.

But as Emmerdale viewers watched the scenes unfold, they couldn't help but point out a series of mistakes that could've helped Billy and Dawn.

@picky737 tweeted: "Layla's phone is in the car.....phone an ambulance....layla has a car....drive her to the hospital......Billy decides to run,beyond a joke now!#Emmerdale."

"Catching up on #emmerdale. ...Leylas car?? Drive it??? Leylas phone?? Find it??? Use it?? Honestly no thats fine just shout help instead," @ChaRL_est_1980 said.

@kellycrumpton94 fumed: "So Dawn has RUN all the way back instead of using Leyla's car and Billy hasn't thought to use Leyla's PHONE to call for an ambulance.. are these people thick or what #Emmerdale."

However, viewers may have forgotten that Meena took the keys out of Leyla's car and threw them over the viaduct as she was slumped at the wheel.

But that didn't stop them from questioning Billy.

@justanemeraldx said: "Question is… why on earth didn’t Billy use Layla’s phone instead of running off to get help?? #emmerdale."

"I thought most guys could hot wire a car, why didn't Billy? And Leyla had a phone ! Beyond stupid . #emmerdale," @cassam101 tweeted.

@teamnatalierobb echoed: "Surely Billy could have looked for Leylas phone or tried hot wiring the car? #Emmerdale."
