HARRIET Finch risked and lost her life amid an explosive anniversary week as she went searching for a pregnant Amelia Spencer.
But Emmerdale fans have deemed her funeral scenes haven’t done the former vicar justice after last night’s instalment of the ITV soap.
Emmerdale residents paid their respects to Harriet Finch during last night’s instalment
But viewers weren’t fully satisfied with the scenes
The former vicar died in heart-breaking scenes in October, 2022
Viewers were fuming on social media when they realised Harriet wouldn’t be getting the send-off they felt she deserved.
Thursday’s (November 3, 2022) trip to the Dales begun with PC Swirling and Harriet’s nearest and dearest paying their respects.
But just as fans were expecting emotional funeral scenes, the soap decided otherwise and skipped to Dawn Taylor (played by Olivia Bromley) crying alone.
The vicar turned policewoman had a wake with Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) giving out a tear-jerking speech.
This wasn’t enough for viewers who angrily swarmed over to Twitter.
Most remembered that Liv Flaherty and Faith Dingle – who were also killed off during Emmerdale’s anniversary week – were given a joint funeral aired on screens.
“So, we didn’t even get to see Harriet’s service?”, one penned.
Another commented: “Does no one like Harriet? They did a whole episode on Liv and Faiths joint funeral meanwhile Harriet gets a police car and they don’t even show it.”
A third wrote: “Harriet deserves better than a non-funeral” while another fan echoed: “We don’t get to see Harriet’s funeral? That’s c**p.”
“No on screen funeral for Harriet? Tf, she’s been in it a long time so she deserved one. No doubt Al’s will get dedicated screentime with Chas blubbing though”, a soap fan complained.
One finally asked: “Sorry but Harriet didn’t deserve that non show funeral, she was the village’s Vicar and she got that send off?”
As mentioned above, the Dingle were are the centre of heart-breaking scenes as they paid tribute to both Liv and Faith one last time during their joint funeral.
While Faith ended her life, determined to die on her own terms, Liv breathed her last after being crushed by a caravan in her husband Vinny’s arms.
Harriet, on the other hand, killed after a quad bike accident resulted in an explosion with her love rival Kim Tate (Claire King) present.
Actress Katherine Dow Blyton was an ITV Dales resident for nine years, making her first ever appearance in the eponymous village in 2013.
Emmerdale airs weeknights from Monday to Friday at 7.30pm.
