Lydia’s outburst when attacking a loved one in Emmerdale – and they deserve it | Soaps

Lydia Dingle (Karen Blick) – probably the calmest member of the Dingle clan – shocked us all with her outburst in Emmerdale.

The beloved character joined her family in tonight’s episode to say goodbye to Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell), who passed away earlier this week.

As expected, Lydia made sure she was around to support her emotional loved ones, but she couldn’t help make sure Zak’s coffin was free of dust and that Mandy (Lisa Riley) fixed his ironing skills.

Zak’s body was transferred from Scotland to the village, courtesy of Sam and Cain (Jeff Hordley). In the morning, villagers gathered at the Woolpack to raise a glass to Zak, with his coffin in the center of the drink.

The Dingles then moved Zak from the pub to Dingle land, where he asked to be buried.

Just as Marlon (Mark Charnock) was thinking about what to say in front of his family, things suddenly changed when Tina Dingle (Samantha Power) returned.

The character – last seen 28 years ago – said she returned to say goodbye to her father, but the other Dingles believed she had no right to attend the funeral, given the lack of effort she made to stay in their lives.

A while later, Mandy found photos of Wishing Well on Tina’s phone. The chatty character thought he was entitled to a share of the house, as he is one of Zak’s children.

She then turned to Lydia. Upon discovering that she is Sam’s wife, Tina wondered what she saw in her brother.

Angry and nervous, Lydia retaliated by pushing Tina into a huge pile of mud, and what a moment it was.

After threatening her over Sam, Lydia confirmed that in Zak’s will, he left the Wishing Well to Belle, Cain and Sam, meaning Tina was getting nothing.

Tina’s outburst was then interrupted by the arrival of the police. They came to take Tina away after revealing that she had broken the rules surrounding her ankle bracelet.

The former resident left, but told the Dingles that ‘this’ isn’t over – meaning she’ll probably be back soon.
