Emmerdale fans are demanding a character from the ITV soap is axed.
They want the character binning off to coincide with the return of Zak Dingle - played by Steve Halliwell. Zak has not been seen in the village since June last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Now he’s back, fans are hoping it will lead to a sharp exit for Paul Ashdale, who has been terrorising his son Vinny.
Paul is a gambling addict but in a desperate attempt to keep it quiet, he has resorted to taking it out on his son, which has horrified viewers.
Liverpool Echo has reported that when the official Emmerdale Instagram page shared a photo of Zak to mark his return, the comment section was flooded by demands for Paul to be written out, and fast.
One fan commented: "Love Zac but PLEASE get rid of Paul!"
Another added: "Yay! Zac's back.....please get rid of Paul......Vinny come on out with it..tell Mandy!!"
A third agreed: "Please get rid of Paul."
While another fan wrote: "Zac is back yayy get rid of Paul hate how he is beating poor Vinny & then telling Vinny its his fault that he beats him."
Zak is not the only Dingle returning to Emmerdale, as Faith is making her long awaited comeback as well and will be seen on screen in the coming weeks.
