EMMERDALE viewers were left baffled why no-one picked up the gun after Billy beat up Max tonight – a mistake which lead to Jessie being shot.
Gangster Max turned up at Jessie and Marlon’s home looking for her son Billy after discovering he had tipped off the police about the van robbery.
Billy raced home when he realised what was happening, and sneaked into the house to confront his former prison pal.
As they wrestled each other in the living room, Billy managed to get Max to drop the gun, with the weapon skidding across the floor.
Billy then repeatedly punched Max, thinking he had knocked him out, while Jessie and Marlon stood nearby.
Jessie then hugged her son, while the gun still lay on the ground, meaning Max was able to weakly grab it and lift it in time to shoot Jessie in the stomach.
Viewers were baffled why none of the family had bothered to remove the weapon from the villain’s reach, with one writing on Twitter: “Emmerdale moving mad today, why didn’t Billie thrown the gun out, when Max was on the floor? #emmerdale.”
Another added: “Why would you not move the gun you absolute muppet #Emmerdale”.
A third agreed, writing: “Why didn’t Marlon or Jessie grab the gun whilst max was getting beaten up? Ffs #emmerdale.”

They weren’t alone in their thoughts, and even as Jessie was being taken away in an ambulance, viewers were still tweeting about how ridiculous the trio had been during the hostage situation.
One wrote: “Still can’t get over the ludicrous scenario….let’s hug each other in plain sight while max is still in reaching distance of a gun #emmerdale.
Another added: “Absolutely pathetic. On what planet would you firstly leave the gun right next to the guy you’ve just KO’d, and secondly just stand there having a chat in front of him instead of running out the house? #Emmerdale.”
