Emmerdale fans have shared that they were left rather disappointed at the latest twist in Lydia Dingle's storyline, which saw her burn the evidence of her rape. Wednesday's episode saw Lydia order a taxi to the police station, only for her to exit it the taxi and run into the woods where she set fire to the clothes she had been attacked in. Viewers were left shocked at the scenes, as many took to Twitter to express their concern over the character, especially now that the clothes will not be able to be used as evidence to prosecute her rapist, and childhood friend, Craig.

The movie, starring Cillian Murphy as the so-called “father of the atomic bomb,” has generated $311 million in North America and $542.7 million internationally to date. The film continues to crush expectations, especially for a somber, R-rated biographical historical drama that unfolds largely in dreary rooms of fast-talking scientists and politicians.
