Emmerdale fans frustrated over Dingle family blunder amid heartbreak for Lydia
Emmerdale fans have been left frustrated after spotting a Dingle family blunder amid Lydia's heartbreaking scenes after she was raped by evil Craig Reed.
Viewers were horrified in recent scenes as Lydia was raped by Craig in their work office. Prior to this, Craig and Lydia had bumped into each other after decades apart, having not seen each other since they were young teens. Craig and Lydia grew up in the same children's home years ago, where Lydia, real name Jenny, fell pregnant aged 15. Lydia gave birth alone but tragically the baby, Toby, was stillborn. Realising her baby had died, Lydia buried him in a woodland and ran away.
In recent scenes Lydia was stunned to come face-to-face with Craig all these years later, while Craig had no idea about the baby or his tragic death. Lydia explained everything to Craig and all about her fleeing, to which they shared a moment. As the pair got closer, Craig confessed his feelings to Lydia who was horrified and soon told him nothing could happen, and that she loved her husband Sam Dingle.

Since then Lydia has been in turmoil and has not told anyone about her rape ordeal. Craig has denied raping her and instead claimed it was consensual. With Lydia in a bad way, Craig has begun showing up at her house and harassing her to stop her exposing what he did.
On Thursday, Craig showed up at the Dingle house again, where he invited himself to dinner and tried to pretend that he hadn't done anything wrong. However, Lydia was left devastated as she left the property to head to the police station, where she attempted to tell an officer what Craig did to her but couldn't go through with it.

Later, Lydia returned home where Craig attempted to talk to her as she demanded he leave her alone, which was witnessed by Mandy Dingle. The episode ended with Lydia sobbing in the kitchen. Soap watchers were left frustrated as to how the Dingle family hadn't noticed how she gets uncomfortable and upset around Craig, demanding that they take notice, especially after Mandy appeared to notice something wasn't right on Thursday.
Taking to social media, one person said: "How has no one noticed that Lydia has been crying??? Deary me! #Emmerdale", a different account put: "I really hope that look at the end was Mandy picking up that something is wrong, seems inconceivable that nobody has noticed Lydia is in bits #Emmerdale".
Elsewhere, another fan wrote: "So no one noticed how upset Lydia was #Emmerdale" while a different viewer added: "Surely someone's got to notice sooner or later Lydia's but quite herself. Poor woman literally can help but break down every 5 seconds especially around Craig."
