Emmerdale fans switch off minutes in after 'ridiculous' ITV issue

Emmerdale viewers took to social media with complaints after the beloved ITV soap returned to screens with another gripping episode. This came after Aaron Dingle (played by Danny Miller) learns the truth about Mackenzie Boyd's (Lawrence Robb) whereabouts. After being poisoned and manipulated by his husband, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), Aaron eventually comes to realise that John had abducted Mackenzie during their cottage getaway and is determined to find his best friend, who is being held captive in an underground bunker.

Aaron came to this realisation after discovering Mackenzie's phone in John's possessions, but in his efforts to piece together the truth, a drowsy Aaron escaped and trawled through the woods calling out for his friend. However, unbeknownst to him, John had planted hidden cameras in the area and received an alert and saw a live feed of his husband looking for Mackenzie. During Monday's (September 8) episode, Emmerdale fans quickly called out ITV and pointed out a major plot hole that could have helped Aaron. Taking to X, one fan questioned: "Why wouldn't Aaron just use the phone and call someone... Utterly ridiculous #emmerdale." As a second fumed: "#Emmerdale is f****** ridiculous. Time for this show to be axed."

Another added: "See, in real life, Aaron could dial the emergency services on Mack's locked smartphone. But no instead you guys have him wondering the woods, instead of deploying basic common sense #emmerdale"
