Emmerdale fans don’t think the village makes vicars like it used to.
During Tuesday evening’s episode, Billy Fletcher made the shock revelation to vicar Charles that it was in fact him who knocked over Alex - who is currently in hospital fighting for his life. Although, police investigating the incident believe Charles, innocent until this point, was involved.
Charles was left facing a moral dilemma at the end of the latest edition of the ITV soap. Before the reveal, Charles told Billy: “Whatever it is, you are safe here.”

A distraught Billy then confessed to Charles Anderson he was behind the wheel and left Alex for dead. Billy, in tears, said: “I didn’t mean to do it.”
He later added: “I keep seeing his face. Alex’s in front of the car. I keep seeing his face. I was the one who ran him over.”
Despite the perilous position Charles is currently in he encouraged Billy to remain quiet about the matter. Some Emmerdale viewers accused Charles of being ‘dodgy like Harriet’.
This point alludes to Emmerdale’s previous vicar Harriet Finch who was involved in the death of Mark Malone. One viewer @teenamassam said: “Dodgy vicar #emmerdale.” While @Margare16040532 said: “Another Emmerdale vicar, covering up the truth. #Emmerdale.”

We saw @Bede2Adam add: “Only in Emmerdale does a former offender have more ethics than the Vicar #emmerdale.” Another fan of the soap, @29JHall asked: “Why is every resident vicar bent in #Emmerdale?”
While @ASuperGav concluded: “They say ‘he’s a vicar for goodness sake’. Yeah, so was Harriet and Malone’s body has yet to be found #Emmerdale.”
