Emmerdale: Matty stabbed Samson
Viewers of Emmerdale will know that Samson was stabbed in The Hide last night and was left bleeding out.
He had been in The Hide with his friend Josh when Josh started flirting with Amy in front of Matty.
Amy then clocked off early and left Matty to lock up the restaurant but Josh started deadnaming him after being informed by Samson that Matty was trans.
The pair initially left but re-entered despite Matty telling them that it was now closed.
Josh then demanded money from the till, but when Matty didn’t give it to him, he shoved Samson into him.
Samson was stabbed because Matty was carrying a knife at the moment. When Jai arrived, she noticed Matty holding the knife. Samson was rushed to the hospital, and Matty was taken into custody by the police.
Emmerdale fans threaten to boycott soap over stabbing scenes
With the soap airing these violent scenes before watershed, fans of Emmerdale have found them difficult to watch.
They’ve now complained about the episode, even suggesting that they’ll stop watching future episodes due to this.
One fan commented: “Think I’m done with it. If I want to feel depressed I’ll watch the news!!!!”
Another person complained: “What is Emmerdale doing showing a storyline like this? Youths of today don’t need to see a storyline like this. There is enough violence out there without them putting it in their minds. A family show, it’s a joke.”
A third viewer added: “Getting fed up with Emmerdale, we need a laugh. Turned it off last night.”
A fourth person continued: “I turned it over last night, just another doom and gloom story for them to drag out.”
Finally, a fifth fan shared: “Not more violence on Emmerdale. That’s all their storylines are now and at a time when anyone can watch. Enough is enough, get a grip writers.”
What will become of Matty after his arrest?
Because Samson would not admit the truth regarding Josh’s role in the stabbing, Matty was detained yesterday night.
Will Matty’s claims of innocence hold up, or will the truth come to light? Or will he wind himself behind bars?
