Emmerdale viewers were left upset tonight as Archie's bullying storyline escalated.
Last night, viewers saw Laurel's son Arthur torment Archie, saying he would be 'better off gone'.
The youngster has had a tough time recently after his mother Rachel died and he was left to be brought up by absent dad Jai.
However, Archie appeared to take Arthur's words to heart as he ran away from home.
Tonight's episode saw Jai desperately try to find his son, as blame for his disappearance was pointed in all directions.
Unfortunately, poor Archie was found in the woods by Arthur, who threatened him further.
Viewers spoke out on Twitter about the heartbreaking storyline.
One viewer wrote: "Literally want to reach into the screen and give Archie a cuddle."
Rachel said: "Poor Archie breaks my heart. Little sweetheart."
Lauren wrote: "This Arthur and Archie storyline is breaking my heart... Can the little toe rag get caught out asap!?"
Danni said: "Just me who’s finding this storyline with Arthur and Archie on Emmerdale too much? Constantly wanting to cry every time Emmerdale is on , absolutely hate."
