They are not happy.
Emmerdale fans have hit out at writers as they accuse ITV bosses of "ruining Leyla" amid her current drugs addiction storyline.
In recent scenes a careless remark in the Woolpack from a tipsy Brenda Walker could be the final nudge back towards the white line.Brenda asks Bernice Blackstock about whether Liam, who is divorcing Leyla, will be her boyfriend following a drunken kiss at Christmas. Leyla, however, is in earshot when well-meaning but tactless Brenda asks the clumsy question to Bernice who plays it down.
Crestfallen Leyla then lays into Liam when he pops by, which sends her upstairs to where she keeps her stash. Finding nothing more than an empty snapbag, Leyla picks up her phone and scrolls through the contacts, presumably to find her dealer. And it certainly stirred up some strong emotions from fans who slammed the soap for "ruining" the character. One soap fan said: "They ruined Leyla for this storyline. The whole drugs thing is just not her. They wrecked her character."
