Fans were outraged as Eric Pollard was knocked unconscious on tonight's Emmerdale.
Samson has been trying to worm his way into baby Esther's life after previously saying he wanted nothing to do with her - but it turned out in tonight's episode that he actually had an ulterior motive all along as he continued to step on Noah's toes.
Noah has been there for the mother of the child, Amelia, since day one after Samson said he didn't want to be a dad. Noah started to become suspicious when Samson suddenly had a change of heart and agreed to mind Esther after his dad Sam volunteered for the job, wanting the family to become more involved.
