Fans have been hating on Lucy and Chas

Emmerdale fans have been hating on Chas, with some blurring the lines between Lucy the actress and her soap character.

After Chas started to have an affair with Al, fans were quick to condemn her actions.

As the storyline continued, some fans started attacking Lucy, forgetting that she is simply playing a part.

Lucy defended herself on Twitter, reminding fans that Chas isn’t real.

Now, Paddy has been struggling with depression after his marriage to Chas broke down following her cheating.

After Paddy’s recent attempt to end his own life, fans have been hating on Chas’ selfish treatment of Paddy.

However, Lucy has once more been victim to undeserved hate for herself as an actress.

On Twitter, Lucy wrote: “And to think that most of the profiles to proudly paste the #bekind on the profile, quickly moved onto the next # they could equally be part of …

“I hope your children or in some cases, grandchildren are proud of you !! What fine examples of hypocrisy and schadenfreude.”

Fellow co-star Dominic Brunt also defended Lucy on Twitter, writing: “Wow!! People still being pretty [bleep] cruel and personal towards my dear friend @lucyparge. IT’S A STORY.

“Lucy has selflessly played this story for all it’s worth, knowing she/Chas would be disrespected and insulted on social media, and STILL hit all the beats. Amazing actress.x”
