It’s never easy for parents caught in the middle of warring siblings, but Emmerdale’s Jessie is fueling the hatred between her sons Ellis and Billy, it seems.
Viewers have known that there’s no love lost with the brothers since before the latter came out of prison at Christmas.

But relations have continued to get worse, with Ellis goading his sibling into punching him just in time for their mum to see it.
If Ellis was hoping for some support from Jessie, though, he was wrong.

She refused to act as a witness after her younger son reported the attack, lying to police that she had seen nothing.
Jessie chose to protect her eldest boy from being sent back to prison but, in so doing, she shattered Ellis.

“You got your favourite son back,” he told her. “You don’t need me.”
The headteacher is winning herself not fans among viewers who think she’s never made an attempt to hide her favouritism… and they think it’s appalling.
“You got your favourite son back, Mum – you don’t need me!”
Is Ellis right – is Jessie choosing sides? #Emmerdale pic.twitter.com/TtzVgdrygU

Jessie has always favoured Billy, even before he got to Emmerdale. Really feel sorry for Ellis, he may have dropped the charges anyways cause he felt bad, but his mum clearly favours Billy xxx #teamellis #emmerdale

#emmerdale Erm Jessie…. you walked in literally right as Billy hit Ellis…. you ARE a witness and he had every right to say you saw it! NO ONE forced you to lie, you did that all on your own! Ellis has been there for you and you still chose to protect Billy….

I feel bad for Ellis
Jessie has two sons ♀️#Emmerdale— Miss_Sarah_93 (@Miss_Sarah_93) 29 January 2019
Jessie is the worst. I hate her so much. Her and Billy should leave together then she may finally shut up and be happy seeing as she has her favourite son, aka all she cares about #Emmerdale

Ellis deserves so much better. What he said tonight made it clear that he has felt inferior to Billy for years and that is not right. Jessie should be ashamed of herself #Emmerdale

I do wonder how Ellis turned out to such a nice guy with a mother like Jessie. I am sure if the house was on fire and she had to choose one of her kids to save she wouldn’t hesitate. Knowing that much hurt for Ellis #Emmerdale

i’m not surprised that Jessie took Billy’s side with the police, he is her golden boy. next week we’ll see them kicking off again when they both ”set their sights on Victoria” #Emmerdale

I hate Jessie so much, does she not realise Ellis is her son too??? She truly does not care about him at all and he deserves so much better #Emmerdale

Jessie – you’ve neglected Ellis and now you’re paying for it. #Emmerdale

Giving false statements to the Police now seriously Jessie? Kinda just proves she DOES indeed favor Billy over Ellis #Emmerdale
