While a fourth person typed: “Even the announcer knows it’s upsetting to spend a Friday night watching #emmerdale.”
“YAY! ‘Scenes of distress some viewers my find distressing’ I should hope so!,” someone else wrote.
Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) was left feeling lonely in heartbreaking scenes as the Dingles appeared to be warming to Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) again.
The family turned their back on Chas after she cheated on Paddy with Al Chapman.
Mandy Dingle (Lisa Dingle) suggested throwing a Dingle bash with the out-of-date beer and Chas saw this as the perfect chance to make amends with everyone.
Later, as the Dingles piled into the bar, Chas was taken aback to see awkward Paddy arrive.
As Chas made amends with her family, Paddy was left feeling excluded.
With Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) occupied at the buffet, a gutted Paddy quietly slipped off to the backroom.
As Mandy started testing the karaoke mic, Paddy felt totally isolated from his once-extended family as he sat listening to them having fun.
Paddy also pretended to be at work when answering the phone to his worried dad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) – but he was sitting alone in his car.
While some fans felt sorry for Paddy, others remembered that he once cheated on his wife Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry).
One viewer wrote: “I say karma, a cheat is cheated on”
A second Emmerdale viewer agreed: “Now you know what affairs can do to you Paddy, think back ?? Emily, Rhona, it’s payback time.for you. Made my day you’re left out on your tod.”
“Serves him right! He cheated on Rhona,” a third said.
“Why everyone saying poor Paddy? He cheated when he was with Rhona, so him and Chas are as bad as each other,” a fourth recalled to other fans online.
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
