Emmerdale fans predict Matt will be killed off after 'blackmail' over Al murder

Furious Emmerdale fans think that Matty will be killed, after 'blackmailing' his family. In last night's episode, Matty left viewers suspecting that he will "blab" what he knows about the Al killing, after finding out that it was Kyle - and not Cain - who fatally shot him.

Now, Emmerdale fans think that Matty is putting himself in the firing line - after blackmailing Moira into coming home with Kyle. At the end of last night's episode, he told Moira on the phone: "Mack's told me everything, you need to come home or I don't know what I might do."

Fans were furious with Matty for suggesting that he is going to tell people about Al's real killer, despite suggesting that he cared about Kyle just minutes earlier. He had told Mack that Moira needed to bring him home, so that he could get "therapy".

Cain Dingle is currently in prison for Al's murder, as he is covering for his 10-year-old son. With only a small number of family members in the know, Matty was never supposed to be one of them. And fans said that it is no wonder the family kept it from him, because he immediately used that information to blackmail Moira.

Speaking outside The Woolpack, Mackenzie warned Matty: "You need to keep quiet." However, Matty replied: "You need to get your phone out and call my mum because if you don't I am going to go inside and tell the whole pub that Kyle shot Al - and don't think I won't because I am that close."

Matty snatched the phone off Mackenzie and told Moira: "Mum, you need to come home and bring Amy and Kyle with you. Mack's told me everything, you need to come home or I don't know what I might do."

Emmerdale fans flocked to Twitter with their theories about what might happen to Matty following his blackmail plot. Many suggested that he might now be killed for being so mouthy, the Express reports.

Linda Nutbein suggested: "Cain should get somebody to beat Matty up for threatening to tell about Kyle."

Michelle penned: "Matty is so childish it's pathetic! If Cain was still in the village he would have chased Matty out by now #Emmerdale." Kelly said: "Is Matty just thinking of himself here?! They took Kyle away so it didn’t get out because it was the best option and now he’s threatening to tell everyone if they don’t come back?! #Emmerdale."

Ryan added: "Cain's going to go berserk now that Mack has just confessed to Matty #Emmerdale." Eileen remarked: "I don’t how Amy is going to react to you threatening to drop her son in it Matty because you weren’t let in on the big secret. You just proved them right, throwing a hissy fit because you feel left out. #Emmerdale."

@CxxPIPxx shared: "Matty cares about his mum, girlfriend and Kyle so much that he's blackmailing them to come home or he'll blab about the shooting? #Emmerdale."
