Emmerdale fans were left confused as they learned that Amelia Spencer had finally named her baby in Monday night's episode (October 24).
The soap continued to explore the fallout of the devastating storm which ripped through the village. Amelia went into labour as the ferocious weather hit the Yorkshire Dales.
She since gave birth to a daughter in dramatic scenes broadcast last week. The character, played by Daisy Campbell, was concerned during Monday night's show as the baby dad, Samson, was still missing after he was caught up in the storm.
Samson was found by Noah and was introduced to his child for the first time at the end of the episode. However, fans were shocked when he told the baby he did not want her to be in his life.
Viewers following the show on Twitter were distracted during the disturbing scene after Amelia revealed the baby's name earlier in the episode, reports the ECHO. Harriet Finch died trying to find Amelia in last week's episode.
They were convinced she was going to name the baby after the heroic character or after her mum, Ali. However, they were shocked when she revealed the baby was going to be called Esther.
@Corriedalexo said: "Can't believe Amelia called her baby Esther and not Harriet" as Danimay added: "Esther?? Not Harriet or Ali??? What". Katrina commented: "Esther? Not Harriet or Ali?" as Kellie posted: "Esther???"
Other fans took to the social media platform to gush over the baby's name. Shaun said: "Awwwww Esther" while Michelle posted: "Amelia calling the baby Esther aww"
Jayne tweeted: "Emmerdale's 65th anniversary storyline has just been written - "Noah isn't your father, Esther (gorgeous name btw). I am!"
