Emmerdale fans were left shaken as a major character announced their exit from the village in dramatic scenes. Last week, the Dingle family revealed a multitude of secrets to viewers, including one that would have a lasting impact on Sam Dingle and his marriage to Lydia.
A Shocking Revelation
During a special week of episodes, Sam confessed to Lydia that he had attacked her rapist, Craig Reed, despite her pleas for him not to. Tragically, Craig was later found dead in a field at Home Farm, and Sam feared he was responsible for his death.
The Truth Unveiled
However, it was revealed that Craig was actually killed by Kim Tate's horse, Ice. Sam's half-brother, Cain Dingle, knew the truth and kept it from the police during their questioning of Sam.
A Devastating Consequence
When Lydia finally returned home, Sam shared the good news that he was in the clear, but her response was not what he had hoped for. Lydia expressed her pain and the difficulty of moving on from what had happened.
Sam pleaded with his wife to let him make things right, but Lydia made it clear that she couldn't be with him under these circumstances. She decided to take time away from Sam and the village to heal and find some space.
Fans React
Emmerdale viewers were taken aback by Lydia's decision and expressed their sympathy for Sam. Many took to social media to share their thoughts and support for the characters involved.
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
