Emmerdale fans have been left asking 'why' after the latest trip to the village saw a shock hit-and-run take place. Viewers of the ITV soap were initially left confused when the tuned into Thursday's episode (March 30) when the opening scene showed Alex Moore (Liam Boyle) lying injured on the road after being mowed down by a car with a then-unknown driver.
As the confusion over what was going on began, the bloodied scene then jumped to show Billy and Dawn Fletcher getting ready for their court hearing where they would find out if they would keep custody of Dawn's son Lucas, and his half-sister Clemmie.
As they headed to court, Alex, who is the father of both children, was nowhere to be seen as he carried at his plan to steal drugs after his earlier plans to steal directly from inside the doctors surgery backfired.

Billy took the car to go and grab the family some fish and chips as Kim Tate cracked open the champagne at Home Farm. But suddenly, Alex was seen being ploughed to the ground by a car and when the driver emerged, it was Billy.

It's not just Charity Dingle and Mackenzie Boyd's wedding on the cards as Emmerdale's boss Jane Hudson has revealed that there will be another big day this summer. But whose could it be?

Emmerdale's Charity Dingle didn't quite get the new hair she was hoping for in Thursday evening's episode of the ITV soap, with a trip to the local salon turning out to be disastrous. Charity has been getting ready for her upcoming wedding to Mackenzie Boyd and headed to Mandy Dingle's salon for a hair makeover ahead of her big day. However, Mandy got distracted by some drama between Paddy Kirk and Chas Dingle, which saw her leave Charity's rollers in for too long and use the incorrect hair products.
Emmerdale fans said they were laughing as one scene during the latest trip to the fictional Yorkshire village caused confusion. The ITV soap was back on screens on Wednesday night (April 12) and viewers found themselves being taken away from the drama over a 'crazy' distraction - the weather.
Emmerdale fans think they have worked out how Caleb and Nicky's plan will 'crumble' - but it won't be because of the baby monitor. Earlier this week, viewers of the ITV soap predicted that the piece of tech would be the key to Kim Tate finding out what her new business partner and Home Farm's nanny are up to.
Emmerdale fans have made the same observation about Caleb Milligan as he issued a threat to Kim Tate - despite her not hearing it. Viewers' jaws were on the floor last week when it was revealed that the village newcomer wasn't only related to the Dingle's but also the Tate's.

Emmerdale fans were in for a shock as Leyla Cavanagh's stalker was revealed to be Nicky and not only that, it was confirmed that the former Home Farm nanny is Caleb Milligan's son. The truth was exposed - to viewers at least - during Thursday night's edition of the ITV soap (April 6).
Former Emmerdale star Danny Miller has sent fans wild as he reunited with his former on-screen partner.

Emmerdale fans have warned Leyla Cavanagh 'don't go there' as they think her exit could finally be on the cards after recently escaping death at the hands of drug dealer Callum. During the first trip to the Dales of the week on Monday night (April 3), the wedding planner returned from her spa retreat after she left the village following her kidnap ordeal.
Emmerdale fans don't think it'll quite be the happily ever after Gabby Thomas is hoping for after Nicky popped the question after a mere few weeks of dating. The character, played by Lewis Cope, made his first appearance in the Dales back in December when he became the new nanny at Home Farm.
