Emmerdale fans have been quick to heap praise after pointing out the 'real star' of the soap's latest episode. The ITV favourite was back on-screens on Thursday night for its usual hour-long special.
The latest trip to the Dales featured shock scenes as Billy Fletcher was subject to a horrific racist attack. Fans were horrified with how things ended after Billy's wife, Dawn Taylor, encouraged him to go out for drinks in town with his father-in-law, Will Taylor.
Later, as Dawn sat down to enjoy a drink with her dad's partner, Kim Tate, she received a message that her husband was in hospital and rushed to be with him. Seeing his injuries, Dawn demanded to know what happened and a broken Billy revealed that he had been racially attacked. Meanwhile, Ethan Anderson was defending the attacker at the police station.
