Emmerdale aired their long awaited flashback episode tonight and, judging by the explosion of activity on social media, the drama didn’t disappoint.
From the chilling pact made between Andy Sugden and Ross Barton, to the shock betrayal of Paddy Kirk and the heartbreaking illness worries of Ashley Thomas, secrets were tumbling out all over the place and setting the stage for some serious drama to come.
As we saw Robert gunned down by Ross, the moment was met with shock, amazement and despair online. But passionate Emmerdale fans were narrating everything with on point tweets throughout.
Here is just a collection of their reactions – nothing gets people talking quite like a big soap episode!
