Emmerdale fans demand writers axe ‘pantomime villain’ villager – raging ‘get rid!’
EMMERDALE fans have pleaded the soap writers to “get rid” of character Victor Anderson as they brand him a ‘pantomime villain.’
ITV viewers were left fuming during Monday’s episode as the Anderson family resorted to violence as Victor (Eddie Osei) continues to clash with Charles (Kevin Mathurin).
Claudette (Flo Wilson) and Victor have fully reconnected – but Charles is not happy about it.
A triumphant Victor grinned and was happy to see his son irked as he continues to get support from Claudette.
When Charles confronted his father about worming his way into Claudette’s life… things get physical.
Victor pushed Charles too far after suggested he got together with Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) if things don’t work out with Claudette.
Charles snapped and grabbed his dad by the throat and accused him of lying about dying.
Just then Claudette caught him being aggressive towards Victor and jumped to his defence.
Victor played the victim whilst Charles criticised his mum for falling for his act.
Claudette then slapped Charles and demanded not to see him again until he apologies to his dad.
Meanwhile, Charles relationship with Manpreet is on the rocks.
She prompted Charles to ask his parents to move out, before asking him to take her feelings into account.
Victor continued to goad him as his loved ones turn against him, prompting Charles to kick him out.
Can Charles and Victor put their feud behind them? Or will it get worse?
Fans took to social media to express their frustration over the storyline.
One said: “He’s [Victor] acting like a pantomime villain, can’t even take it seriously #Emmerdale.”
Another wrote: “I can’t quite express how much I despise the [storyline] of Charles/Victor and the mother. No way you’d let him stay on living in the same house. #Emmerdale.”
A third penned: “Get rid of Victor please. #Emmerdale.”
A fourth commented: “Ffs sort it out, Claudette and Victor are AWFUL characters. Get rid! #Emmerdale.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
