Last night in Emmerdale (Tuesday, October 17), Samson was responsible for starting the village gossip about Lydia’s rape.
After speaking to Cathy about Lydia’s rape, it wasn’t long before Nicola caught wind of what had happened.
Emmerdale fans have now blasted Samson after he exposed Lydia’s rape, complaining: ‘Keep your big trap shut.’
Emmerdale: Samson exposed Lydia’s rape
Last night, Samson struggled to process the fact that Lydia was raped by Craig.
He’d trusted Craig and couldn’t believe that he’d do anything to harm Lydia, trying to get his head around it.
Speaking to Cathy in the café, Samson tried to offload his feelings and revealed that Craig had forced himself upon Lydia.
Nicola was working when she overheard Samson’s conversation. This prompted Nicola to tell Bernice, spreading the gossip around the village.
Rhona had seen the two sisters discussing Lydia’s assault and tried to stop them. However, Lydia then approached them and thought that Rhona was also speaking badly about her.
She then expressed her upset at Rhona’s supposed betrayal after taking the step to trust her with her story.
