Emmerdale branded 'village of adultery' as fans in disbelief when another affair begins

Livid Emmerdale viewers have branded the famous hamlet a “village of adultery”.

Fans were left in disbelief as tonight’s double-bill showed Liam and Bernice share a kiss. The awkward encounter happened after the pair had taken a "trip down memory lane" in the salon.

Leyla had only just stepped out of rehab when Liam betrayed her. The ill-timed adultery forced some fans to label him an “utter s**t” and left others questioning the character’s sanity.

Following the incident, Liam himself admitted to Bernice that he "didn't know what possessed [him]," while Bernice said their smooch was a "trip down memory lane" but "trip too far". She made the comments before demanding that he tell Leyla what had happened.

Not wanting to be the "other woman", fans saw Bernice's conscience get the better of her and she even offered to be there when Liam told Leyla later in the episode.

As Liam had been trying to save his relationship with Leyla one minute - and then cheating on her the next, viewers were left flabbergasted.

Fans took to Twitter to slam the cheater, with one writing: "ohhh you utter s**t Liam".

Another berated him: "Liam you dirty dog...." while a third slammed: "Muppet Liam (another cheat) can’t act and has about as much sex appeal as a stuffed cushion".

And a fourth sighed: "It's now just a village of adultery". One avid fan said: "Oh Liam" followed by a facepalm emoji, while another wrote: "Liam what are you doing?"

A fan crudely said: "Liam and bernice are made for each other both a pair of t***s." Another agreed, saying: "Bernice is a better match for Liam than Leyla ever was". [sic]

The end of the special double episode saw Leyla and Liam reconcile and agree to move back in with each other. But the happy moment was shattered when Leyla ran into Bernice who spilled the beans on exactly what had happened between the pair.

After seeing Liam and Leyla chatting in the street, Bernice assumed that Liam had finally told her what happened. In a moment alone with Leyla, she let slip that the kiss "meant nothing", with Leyla left stunned at the revelation.
