Emmerdale fans have hit out at the soap, claiming it has gone 'too far' with its latest scenes. The ITV soap was back on-screen in its 7.30pm slot on Tuesday night (August 9) and the latest love triangle to hit the Yorkshire village continued.
At the start of the week viewers were left shocked when Gabby Thomas headed out on a date with her step mum Laurel's new love interest, Kit. The character has made fleeting appearances in Emmerdale as Marlon Dingle's physiotherapist. But after catching the eye of Laurel, the pair have been enjoying secret rendezvous.
And they appear so secret that Gabby doesn't realise she is now sleeping with the same man! At the end of Monday night's episode, Emmerdale fans saw the 20-year-old mum, played by Rosie Bentham, excitedly heading off on her first date since welcoming her son, Thomas.
Laurel bumped into Gabby in the village all glammed up and ready for her date. After a quick exchange Gabby hurried off before telling Laurel to stop watching as she made her way to meet 'Chris' but with Laurel out of sight, Kit appeared and introduced himself to Gabby.
Then, during the latest instalment of the long-running ITV soap, viewers tuned in to sees Gabby and Kit - or Chris - the morning after their date at Home Farm. However, she was left flustered when Laurel arrived and almost caught the pair, with Gabby wearing just a white fluffy dressing gown.
But as soon as her step mum was gone, she flirted up a storm with 'fit' Kit and they were soon seen running back up the stairs and returning to the bedroom. And it appears it was all too much for those watching.
@TVMusings22 tweeted: "Does #emmerdale really need this love triangle between Laurel, Kit and Gabby? Like wtf is wrong with you all," to which @PiksTube replied: "It's bizarre. I can't get my head round it TBH." Kath said: "Might have to switch off, this is actually repulsive, they've gone too far this time".
They were also disappointed that Kit has been turned in to already. @daisy_duguid tweeted: "Kit could have been a great addition to #Emmerdale but no they have to make him a two timing g*t." @TVMusings22 added: "Kits a great looking dude and could’ve been a really great addition - you’ve turned him into a sleaze I just can’t! #emmerdale."
And Bob Broadman went as far to suggest on Facebook: "Imagine if Kit gets both Laurel and Gabby pregnant."
