Emmerdale fans were left unimpressed on Friday’s episode over a huge village blunder.
Samson Dingle was stabbed in huge scenes on Thursday night with Matty Barton to blame for what has happened after the knife he was holding ended up in Samson’s stomach. In shocking scenes, Samson’s new friend Josh confronted Matty after he poured their paid-for beers down the drain. He was furious over Josh constantly flirting with Amy, despite knowing that Matty and Amy were recently married.
Things escalated when vile Josh started referencing Matty being transgender and in a furious confrontation, Matty warned them to leave – but Josh wasn’t having it. He pushed Samson forward, and onto the knife that Matty was holding. In horrifying scenes, Samson was whisked away in an ambulance – whilst Matty found himself arrested.
On Friday’s episode, Matty was grilled by police and it was revealed that there was no CCTV at the HOP or the Hide due to cost-cutting measures, which meant there was no evidence to back up Matty’s claims. Taking to Twitter, now X, viewers were quick to fume over the HOP and Hide’s blunder of having no CCTV, especially after its history. Soap fans will recall that back in 2021, Victoria Sugden, David Metcalfe and Wendy Posner were held hostage by her ex Russ at the Hide and later in the year, in a chilling twist, village serial killer Meena Jutla murdered Ben Tucker outside the HOP.

One person said: “Conveniently no CCTV when it was a big part of Ben’s murder? #Emmerdale”, a different account put: “Why do they never use the cctv in these soaps ffs #emmerdale”, another wrote: “There has to be CCTV. This is ridiculous #Emmerdale”, a different account put: “Sorry, but how the f**k does The Hide still not have CCTV even after everything with Meena & Ben?”, another said: “I take it after the hostage situation in the Hide a few years ago they never bothered to install CCTV which would clear Matty!! #emmerdale” while another added: “So, even after previous incidents The Hide didn’t learn enough to install CCTV?? #emmerdale.”
During Friday’s episode, Josh threatened Samson to stick to his side of the story in order to keep themselves out of trouble. During the scene, Samson seemed very guilty as he pointed out that Matty is family. However, later on, Samson told the police that Matty had stabbed him with Cain Dingle, who is Matty’s stepfather, furious as he vowed to get the truth.
