Emmerdale’s Samson Dingle has sparked major controversy in The Dales, leaving fans furious with his recent actions. Samson, who has been at the center of numerous dramatic incidents, dropped a bombshell that escalated tensions even further.

In recent events, Samson and his troublemaking friend Josh Cope threatened Matty during an attempted robbery at The Hide. The situation took a dangerous turn when Josh shoved Samson into Matty, who was holding a knife, resulting in Samson getting stabbed. Following the incident, Josh manipulated Samson into falsely accusing Matty of deliberately stabbing him. This false accusation led to Matty’s imprisonment, where he feared for his life due to his transgender identity.

Matty’s situation worsened as he was beaten up in prison, leading to a hospital stay that left his family deeply concerned. In Thursday’s episode, Moira Dingle, desperate to clear her son’s name, teamed up with Mackenzie Boyd to confront Samson. They kidnapped him, pleading with him to tell the truth so Matty could be released. After a tense standoff, Samson finally admitted that Josh was the instigator who attacked Matty with the bottle.

Mackenzie then suggested that Samson and Matty should tell the police that Josh was the real attacker. Persuaded by this plan, Moira drove Samson to the police station to give his statement. However, Samson refused to let Moira accompany him inside, and later it was revealed that he had no intention of telling the truth.

In a shocking twist, the police arrived at Moira’s farm and arrested both Moira and Mackenzie for kidnapping Samson, leaving them stunned. Kane arrived at the scene, only to find Moira and Mackenzie being taken away by the police.

Fans were outraged by Samson’s double-cross, expressing their anger on social media. One fan wrote, “Samson did Moira dirty there,” while another exclaimed, “Oh my god, what have you done now, Samson?” A third fan questioned, “What the hell is wrong with Samson?” Another chimed in, calling Samson a “horrible character” who is willing to let a relative suffer and get another arrested to protect a friend. One particularly furious viewer called Samson a “rat” with no shame or conscience.

This explosive storyline has left fans reeling, with Samson’s betrayal causing a rift in the community and raising the stakes for the characters involved.
