Fans of Emmerdale were left stunned last night (Wednesday, August 21), as the soap did a huge U-turn on Piper the Dog’s death.
Viewers were all grieving along with Belle as they watched the heartbroken pet owner bury her pup’s casket (so many tissues were used!)
But… her pup was actually still alive! But, despite being relieved for Piper, fans have still found something to complain about.

Emmerdale: Piper the Dog’s alive!
Last week, Emmerdale crushed all of our hearts as evil Tom decided to run Belle’s adorable pooch Piper over with his car.
He then told Belle that he’d spent ALL night trying to save her, but it was best for her to be put down.
Belle said one last goodbye to Piper but soon put two and two together… She realised that Tom had been responsible for Piper’s tragedy (go Belle!)
Later on, she cried her eyes out as she lowered Piper’s casket into the ground.
Little did she know though that Piper was actually still alive! Tom had cruelly made out that Piper was dead just to upset Belle (ABSOLUTELY EVIL!)
And, then, last night, he handed Piper over to her new owners whilst making out that Piper’s previous owner was a horrible piece of work (if only they knew the truth…)
Fans have blasted the soap for playing with their emotions (Credit: ITV)
Piper “death” decision leaves fans furious
With Piper alive, you’d be forgiven for thinking that viewers would have been over the moon… And, whilst they were happy to see Belle’s furry friend alive and kicking, the decision actually caused many complaints.
Fans can’t believe that the soap has us all grieve for Piper for a number of days before giving us a huge retcon and revealing that Piper was still breathing. How cruel to play with everyone’s emotions like that! It’s not on!
One fan complained: “You should be ashamed of yourselves for making viewers think Piper was dead. Doesn’t excuse the scenes that aired last week. Can be very triggering for people.”
Another person added: “Hold it, hold it, hold it! Are you seriously telling me Piper isn’t dead and we’ve been through this charade since last Friday for nothing?!”
A third viewer blasted: “Hope your writers are not doing the “ha ha we got you all dance” because A) Tom is still depicted as hurting Piper with injections & she’s wearing a cone B) You’ve lost viewers & NTA votes C) You’ve alienated people against a serious storyline. This is still not your finest hour!”
Piper the Dog’s real fate has been confirmed in Emmerdale – and she’s alive! The adorable pup was believed to be dead after evil Tom deliberately ran her over, but it’s now been revealed she’s OK.
While Piper appears to have some injuries, at least she’s still with us. However, it remains to be seen if Belle will ever be reunited with her beloved dog.
Here’s everything you need to know about Piper in Emmerdale.

What happened to Piper?
Evil Tom has used Piper as a weapon against Belle ever since they got married. He knows how much Belle loves Piper, so has been deliberately mean to the poor dog. He previously locked her outside while he and Belle were in Wales and also once injected Piper to make her seem unwell.
In recent scenes, Tom deliberately hit Piper with his car while no one was around. He took her from Lydia and Sam’s house while they were out at the pub with Belle.
He then used Piper’s injuries as a way to get Belle to speak to him. Tom assured Belle he would do all he could to save Piper, however the following day he informed Belle that Piper was going to have to be put down. In heartbreaking scenes, Belle bid farewell to her beloved dog.
It wasn’t long until she came to the conclusion that Tom was to blame for Piper’s death. However, no one would listen to Belle’s accusations and instead took Tom’s side. How awful!

Emmerdale confirms Piper the Dog’s fate
Despite Piper having been ‘buried’ in heartbreaking scenes, it’s now been confirmed that she’s alive and well.
In a shock twist in Wednesday’s episode (August 21), Tom was seen handing over Piper to an unknown couple. The pair seemed to think they were rescuing the dog, seemingly unaware that Piper had actually been taken from Belle.
Tom made out that Piper’s previous owner was a horrible woman who had neglected the little dog. Can this guy stoop any lower?!
Meanwhile, Belle is unaware her dog is alive and still believes she buried her. However, she is convinced Tom is responsible for what happened to Piper and appears determined to expose him once and for all. Go Belle!
Over in Emmerdale, viewers will know that Belle has just started to realise the extent of which her husband Tom has been abusing her.
After little Piper’s death, Belle decided to go to the police to speak to them about the abuse she’s been receiving.
But, one thing has been neglected throughout this storyline and it involves Chas Dingle – and fans have complained that it makes no sense at all!

Emmerdale: Belle goes to the police about Tom
This week, Belle was left heartbroken (and so was the rest of the nation) after finding out that her beloved pet dog – Piper – had sadly passed away after being knocked over by a car.
It wasn’t long before she started accusing Tom of killing the pup, sharing her concerns with Lydia. However, Belle’s loved ones didn’t believe that he would do something like that.
Realising that Tom had been abusing her, Belle decided to take action and go to the police about her abusive husband.
She explained how he’d been treating her, bringing up Claire’s Law. She, however, didn’t want to officially report Tom…
Chas has kept rather quiet (Credit: ITV)
Tom’s past with Chas seems to have been forgotten…
So, let’s get this right… when Charity had concerns about Tom’s behaviour, none of the Dingles sided with her.
And, when Belle voiced her upset of Tom, the Dingles were quick to blame everything on Belle’s mental illness. At not one point has Chas remembered that Tom actually stalked her and made her life hell in the past.
Now, fans aren’t impressed with the oversight, noting that Chas would’ve been the first person they’d expect to support Belle and believe that something’s up with Tom’s behaviour.
One fan wrote: “This story has such flaws. If Charity is concerned, how come she hasn’t discussed it with Chas who had abuse from Tom’s dad, Carl? They haven’t involved Chas in any of the storyline yet she knows how twisted the men are more than anyone. Also, with a brother like Cain, why is Belle not turning to him for protection?”
Another person added: “Charity did say she’d be keeping a close eye on Tom. But I think it should be Chas as she’s had experience dealing with Tom before.”
A third viewer previously wondered: “The Dingles are thick as [bleep]. Have they forgotten all the [bleep] Tom put Chas through?”
Fans of Emmerdale have warned its writers not to start a Bob Hope and Nicola King affair storyline – as scenes in last night’s episode appeared to show the pair growing closer.
This came as Nicola attempted to come to terms with the news that daughter Angel wouldn’t be getting an early release from the detention centre – after starting a fight with another young inmate.
Angel has been serving time there after pleading guilty to death by dangerous driving – being behind the wheel during the accident which killed Bob’s son, Heath.
And whose better shoulder to cry on than that of, uh, the dead boy’s father, Bob, right?
Nicola confided her family woes in Bob (Credit: ITV)
Miserable parents Jimmy and Nicola were left distraught at the news that their Angel appeared to be headed down a darker path, with Nicola in a noticably sullen mood (more sullen than usual, anyway) at work.
And it was here that she was consoled by Bob. A very magnanimous move, given that Angel was largely responsible for the death of his son.
And, as these scenes aired, fans of the soap warned its writers to not even bother setting the pair up for an affair.

Emmerdale fans warn soap against Bob and Nicola affair
As scenes between the pair aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts.
“Bob and Nicola better not have an affair,” wrote one concerned viewer on X.
Bob and Nicola better not have an affair 🥲 #Emmerdale
“I’m also thinking that they are going to try and push for a Nicola and Bob affair down the line, or one of them will misread the signals?” suggested another.

Grateful fans of Emmerdale have thanked the soap’s writers for its joyful Mandy Dingle and Paddy Kirk wedding episode last night.
Viewers tuned in as Mandy and Paddy successfully tied the knot in spite of his dad Bear’s meddling – outing her as a financial dominatrix to a baffled Paddy.
Paddy and Mandy’s happily ever after was in doubt for a while… as it appeared as though Paddy had called the whole thing off.
Well, it wouldn’t be a Dingle wedding without a little drama on the day!

Mandy rushed over to see her husband-to-be, who was surprisingly accepting of her side-hustle. It was the lies which proved to be the sticking point.
Following a sweet heart-to-heart, the pair managed to work things out, and the wedding was back on!
After rushing back to the church and talking Charles around, the pair were married in a joyful (if super speedy) counterpoint to the misery and upset surrounding them.

Emmerdale fans praise ‘brilliant’ episode as Paddy and Mandy are married
As the soap shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the wedding, fans took to Instagram to share their appreciation for the episode. The consensus is in – and it’s good to see a bit of cheer for once.
“Brilliant episode, well done all about time we had a lighter episode,” wrote one overjoyed fan.
“Only Mandy Dingle could get away with that dress. Funny episode especially the vows well done all. The laugh that everyone needs right now in the cruel world we live in,” said another.
“Brilliant episode, so happy they are getting married. Love them both they are well suited,” a third fan shared.
“Love it, Mandy and Paddy together at last. They’re made for each other, nice to have a lighter note in the midst of the Belle and Tom storyline,” another viewer agreed.
“That was a brilliant episode, so funny and happy and the dress was amazing,” said a fourth.
A fifth agreed: “I like that it was sorted out by Mandy and Paddy simply having an adult conversation, well done writers.”
“The best episode, so great to have the humour back,” added a sixth.
Have Mandy and Paddy found their happily ever after?
Tom King is back to manipulating and trying to control estranged wife Belle Dingle in Emmerdale. Although he’s watched her on cameras before, tonight took things to a whole new level.
Belle has told Tom she needs complete space from him – she doesn’t want to see or hear from him. He agreed and backed off – but we know he’s watching her on his phone on secret cameras he’s installed while she’s been away.
It’s a huge invasion of privacy – at least she knew the others were there. And it means he’s not giving her the space she’s asked for.
But is it the worst thing he’s done? Let’s take a look at the timeline of all the creepy things Tom has done to Belle since their doomed union began second time around.
Tom’s violence reared its head before they married (Credit: ITV)
1. Pushing her into a table
During the big ‘Who killed Craig’ week last year, Belle revealed her alibi was Tom proposing to her. But she had felt like it wasn’t the right time to get engaged and rejected the ring.
However, what viewers saw, but Belle didn’t explain to her family, was that Tom had lashed out at her for rejecting his proposal and pushed her violently into a table. Belle then injured her head, making Tom direct his manipulative behaviour towards her in a bid to make her stay with him.
2. Calling off the wedding
Belle didn’t want to lose the surname Dingle when she got married. Well, who can blame her when it’s such an iconic one?
But Tom wasn’t having that, he needed her to be his and only his and was determined to scrub out her connection to the Dingles once and for all. When he threatened to call off the wedding, Belle agreed to take his name. But we’ll always call her a Dingle!
3. Wedding night rejection
Tom wasn’t impressed by the Dingle celebrations on his big day. He became more frustrated at the reception as he watched them transform the event into pure chaos.
Things were made worse when Ruby stood up in front of everybody ready to make a spectacle. Tom was livid and blamed Belle for her family ruining everything.
Belle then decided to read a letter from her late mum Lisa, left for her on her wedding day. But Tom tried to stop her and accused her of caring more about her family than him. He then demanded that Belle spent the night on the sofa.
Tom’s belittling was horrendous (Credit: ITV)
4. Tom humiliated Belle in Emmerdale
Wanting to give him a sexy surprise, Belle turned up at the vets in nothing but a trench coat. Tom was horrified, rejected and humiliated her and made her feel worthless. He also meddled with her job at Take A Vow, losing her a huge client.

5. Tracking her on an app
Tom downloaded an app on his phone which kept track of Belle and her movements. He had her under constant surveillance, but she had no idea.
6. Tom faked a robbery to scare Belle in Emmerdale
When his tracking app proved Belle wasn’t where she said she was, Tom went home and smashed the house up. He then told Belle they’d been robbed and hid her engagement and wedding rings to make her feel even more guilty.
As Belle started to feel unsafe at home as a result of Tom’s lies, he took the opportunity to install a lot of security cameras so now he had a valid excuse for watching her all the time.

7. Isolating Belle from best friend Vinny in Emmerdale
If anyone’s going to spot abuse, it’s Vinny who was abused by did dad, Paul Ashdale. So jealous Tom knew he had to keep them apart at all costs. He kidnapped Piper when she was under Vinny’s care and led Belle to believe it was all Vinny’s fault.
He then attacked Vinny and left him for dead at the Scrap Yard. When Vinny survived, Tom belittled him and made fun of him being a virgin to further push him away.
Things got physical (Credit: ITV)
8. Physical abuse
After a while, Tom’s mental abuse turned physical. He punched Belle in the stomach and held her hand under scalding water. He then gaslighted her into thinking he wasn’t involved in those awful things.

9. Tom forced Belle to get pregnant in Emmerdale
Belle made it very clear she didn’t want a baby at this point, she wasn’t ready and was worried for her mental health. But Tom pushed and pushed and gaslit and eventually she gave in even though she really didn’t want to.
10. Turned everyone on to his side
Throughout all of this, Tom has manipulated everyone into believing Belle is the one with the problem. He told Dr Liam Belle was aggressive and scared him. He faked it that Belle wasn’t taking her medication and he even managed to convince Charity and Cain, Belle’s loving and protective family, he is the victim here.
Poor Piper! (Credit: ITV/Emmerdale Insider)
11. Abused Piper
This had fans up in arms: when Tom drugged Piper the dog to make Belle come home from the mental health unit. Of course Belle rushed back thinking her beloved pooch was dying, but Piper made a miraculous recovery.
Piper was then at the centre of Tom’s plot again when he locked her outside all night in Wales and forbid Belle from tending to her. He then told Belle she should have brought Piper in and it wasn’t fair to have left her out there all that time!
12. Tom locked Belle in in Emmerdale
A number of times, Tom has taken Belle’s keys and locked her in the house. Once a fire started on the stove and she couldn’t get out. But Tom made her believe she’d just misplaced her keys and the door wasn’t even locked.

13. The Welsh holiday cottage
Everything that happened during their ‘romantic’ getaway was simply awful. From the way he forced her to make his toast, to locking Piper out and Belle in, to screaming and shouting at her and her cutting her hand. It’s no wonder Belle made a getaway – but how long can she stay away from him for?
So what was Tom’s absolute worst moment?
He’s done so much bad stuff the jury is definitely still out on what was the worst – but the Emmerdale Insider team definitely have their thoughts.
Kaggie Hyland – Editor-in-Chief
“Leaving Piper outside all night at the cottage – well, any and all abuse of the puppy! And Lisa’s ashes – knowing he was destroying something so precious that could never be replaced was so low.”
Carena Crawford – Editor
“The gaslighting and physical abuse of Belle (and Piper) had been tough to watch, but for me it’s locking her in the house. I could feel myself panicking as Belle couldn’t get out.”
Tamzin Meyer – Assistant Soaps Editor
“The worst thing for me was definitely when he drugged poor little, absolutely adorable Piper to make her ill. Those scenes were sickening!”
Kerry Barrett – Freelance Soap Writer
“Even despite Tom’s violence and manipulation up until now, I was really shocked this week when he was watching Belle sleeping on his phone. It seemed like such an invasion of a space where she should feel safe, and she appeared so vulnerable. It made me shiver.”
Joel Harley – Freelance Soap Writer
“The physical abuse – punching her in the stomach after she told him he needs help; holding her hand under scalding hot water – then gaslighting her over it all afterwards.”
Mandy Dingle was exposed for her double life as a financial dominatrix in Emmerdale last night. Bear revealed the truth to Paddy, Chas and Marlon by showing them Mandy working her magic on screen.
Paddy was heartbroken, Bear made his feelings perfectly clear and Chas and Marlon were shocked at how Mandy was making her money.
But why are they reacting so strongly, wonder fans? It’s not like she’s doing anything so bad, is it?
Mandy begged Bear to keep quiet. She promised she would give the whole thing up. He agreed, but he didn’t trust her, so set a trap to prove himself right.
Bear posed as a client and soon enough, Mandy called him and started shouting at him. Bear pretended he couldn’t get his camera working, but handed the phone to Chas, Paddy and Marlon in the back room of the Woolpack. They all saw exactly what Mandy was getting up to.
Paddy was stunned and said he wasn’t sure if the wedding could go ahead. Bear has made his feelings very clear that he doesn’t think it should.
“Bear mate, she’s telling blokes online they’re naughty boys whilst holding a whip, she’s not [bleeping] them in lay-bys!” said one.
Another added: “[Bleep] off, Bear. She’s a consenting adult, raking in cash, and if you’re so concerned, she’s keeping her clothes on.”
“Mandy has done nothing wrong, how she makes her money is her business, she isn’t even getting her baps out. It’s nobody’s business,” declared a third.
A fourth agreed: “Oh for Christ’s sake, she’s not Human Trafficking! This is ridiculous.”
“What.. don’t be an idiot she is being sensible and clearing her debt not leaching of you, you should not be so daft,” someone else directed their comment to Paddy.
A sixth questioned: “Why are they all so horrified?? It’s pretty harmless – and a good earner!”
Can Mandy save her wedding day? (Credit: ITV)
Do Paddy and Mandy get married?
Tonight (Thursday August 15) oblivious Mandy is getting ready for her big day. She has no idea back at home, Paddy has called the wedding off.
Bear arrives at the salon to tell her the news – and he sure does relish it. Mandy is distraught and she rushes off to see Paddy and try to save their day.
Can he forgive her however? Or are Paddy and Mandy very definitely over for good this time?
Bear Wolf exposed Mandy Dingle’s secret sex work to Paddy in Emmerdale last night – and he didn’t exactly do it subtly. He claims he’s trying to save his son from getting hurt again, but fans think there’s another reason Bear is so against Paddy marrying Mandy: he’s jealous.
Before Pads and Mands got back together Bear was holding a torch for Mandy himself. At the time she was hopelessly in love with Paddy, but just holding off acting on it due to his recent break-up with Chas and subsequent decline in mental health.
Torn over what to do, Bear stayed quiet at first. But then he visited Mandy and told her to tell Paddy or he would. Mandy desperately tried to persuade Bear to keep quiet. She promised she would give the whole thing up now she’d paid her debts. He reluctantly agreed.
However it wasn’t long before he totally changed his mind and set Mandy up to be exposed. With Paddy gushing over how much he loved Mandy and how she was the love of his life, Bear decided Paddy needed his eyes opening. So he posed as a client and Mandy called him and started shouting. Bear led Paddy, Marlon and Chas through to the back room of the Woolpack, where he showed them exactly what Mandy was getting up to.
Couldn’t have just taken Paddy for a quiet word, eh? Had to do with in front of his ex-wife?
Paddy was stunned and said he wasn’t sure if the wedding could go ahead. Tonight Bear is relieved and relishes in being the one to tell Mandy, who is all ready for her big day, that it’s off.
As Mandy rushes to save her relationship, does Bear have an ulterior motive for being so against their marriage?
Bear takes far too much pleasure in telling Mandy her wedding is off (Credit: ITV)
Is Bear jealous of Paddy and Mandy?
Fans certainly seem to think so, they are pretty convinced Bear wants Mandy for himself and that’s why he sabotaged their big day.
“Love Mandy she is funny and only trying to earn some money to clear her debts. I think Bear is doing that cause a while back he thought she was interested in him but she wasn’t,” mused one on social media.
Another added: “Let’s not forget Bear tried it on with Mandy a while back!! Is this because he’s jealous he didn’t get her?”
“It was only five seconds ago since Bear wanted to get into Mandy’s leopard print undies. Surprised he didn’t sign up to her page,” joked one more.
Will Bear succeed in splitting them up? Or will Paddy and Mandy get married? All will be revealed on Thursday August 15.
John Sugden has arrived in Emmerdale and well and truly made his mark on everyone he’s come across.
But now it’s been revealed he might not be who he says he is. What?!
What is John hiding? (Credit: ITV)
Mystery man
In last night’s episode, Victoria found a box belonging to John in her son Harry’s room. When she handed it over to her new-found brother he opened it to reveal a dog tag.
He admitted he had been in the army but told Vic in no uncertain terms that he didn’t want to talk about that time in his life – it was over.
Fair enough.
Except what Victoria didn’t see was that the dog tag John was holding didn’t have his own name etched into it. Instead it said Aidan Moore.
John’s dog tag has the name Aidan Moore etched on it (Credit: ITV)
Who is Aidan Moore?
As if John’s prickly nature, feud with Mack and Aaron, and determination to leave Emmerdale as soon as he can weren’t enough to keep viewers gripped, now there’s another side to the newcomer’s mysterious character!
We’ve been sifting through the theories about who Aidan Moore could be – and why John has his dog tag!
Has Dawn got more to worry about? (Credit: ITV)
1. Links to a village villain?
Those of you with good memories will recall that Dawn’s evil ex – and dad to Clemmie and Lucas – was called Alex Moore. Could John have a link with him? Could this mean Alex returning to the village? (Let’s hope not, eh? Dawn’s got enough on her plate!).
John told Victoria he already had a dad in his life (Credit: ITV)
2. John’s stepdad
One of four things Aiden Moore could be in my opinion
His Ex
HIs wonderfully kind stepdad & it’s why he has no interest in the Sugden’s cause he had a guy that stepped up
His abusive stepdad & he is mad daddy dreariest left them in that position
One of the reasons John gave for never tracking down his biological dad Jack Sugden, was that he had a dad in his life. Could Aidan Moore be that stepdad – good or bad?
John’s single right now – at least we assume so! (Credit: ITV)
3. Ex-lover
Back with #Emmerdale tweets tomorrow. Who’s aiden moore? John ex lover or has he killed aiden and taken the dog tag?
John’s single now – at least we’re assuming so given his hook-up with Aaron in the back of his van – but could Aidan be an ex-lover? Possibly someone John lost during his time in the army?
Does John know Robert from prison? (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
4. Robert’s cellmate
Is Aidan Moore John’s ex?? Husband? Dead?? Solider friend?? Dead?? Brother …Dead? 👀😬🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸
Or is John a conman who knew Robert in jail #emmerdale
Robert Sugden – John’s half-brother – is currently in jail, serving time for attacking Vic’s rapist (and dad to Harry) Lee Posner.
Some fans think it’s possible John – or Aidan – met Robert in prison and is a con man trying to worm his way into the Sugden family.
5. Stolen identity
My John Sugden theories:
– could he kill someone? I’m thinking possibly Mack (as Emmerdale are teasing a rivalry) OR Nate! Remember Nate has been confirmed to be leaving (and randomly appeared tonight)
– he has an army background, is he not the real John Sugden? #Emmerdale
Victoria has already commented that John is like their dad, Jack. And we reckon she’s right – John is definitely all Sugden. But are we being led down a dead-end? Some fans have been busy musing that John could BE Aidan Moore. “Is he not the real John Sugden?” said one fan.
Jack Sugden had a lot of women in his life. Are there more Sugdens out there? (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)
6. Another brother?
Hats off to the Emmerdale fan on Reddit who delved into the archives and discovered a character called Karen Moore who lived in Beckindale – as Emmerdale was called back then – in the 1980s. She had a fling with Jack AND Jack’s brother Joe and moved away in 1986. Could she be Aidan’s mum? And could Aidan be yet another Sugden brother?!
Victoria Sugden in Emmerdale is getting on the nerves of viewers who have said the way she is acting towards new half-brother John Sugden is irritating.
John isn’t interested in building a relationship with his sister. In fact he wants to get out of the village as soon as he possibly can. But Vic has seized the opportunity to smoother him in sibling love – and he’s not keen.
Fans have also had almost as much as they can take of her. Here’s what they’re saying..
Victoria is following John everywhere he goes (Credit: ITV)
Victoria smoothers John in Emmerdale
From the second she found out John was probably her half-brother, Victoria was like a puppy. She fawned over him, excitedly introduced herself and was crestfallen when he really wasn’t interested.
She gave the guy a break, she did go in all guns blazing at his mother’s funeral after all, but when he turned up in the village and still didn’t want to get to know her, she took action. Victoria decided to kill him with kindness.
Vic then insisted he stay with her, made him tea and toast, was at his beck and call and even fought his battles for him when she confronted Aaron and Mack. Yet still, John is not giving her anything back.
She even tried to find out more about his past when she handed him a pair of dog tags yesterday. She’d found them stashed in Harry’s room. But he clammed up again and told her he didn’t talk about that time in his life. So clearly he has something to hide.
Will Vic let it go? Of course she won’t, expect more probing and pushing in tonight’s Emmerdale (Wednesday August 14)
Her behaviour is getting on John’s nerves – and fans’ too!
Fans fed-up
Those watching at home don’t blame John for not wanting to chat to Victoria – they think she’s being very annoying!
One asked on social media after the episode aired on Tuesday August 13, “Is Victoria doing anyone else’s head in?”
“She really bugged me tonight,” one agreed and another added: “YESSSS!!!!!! I was cussing!! He’s not even being nice to you and you’re flying around this title of half-brother and coming down on your friends…..get a life lol.”
“She’s like a puppy following that creep about. Think they are really running out of what to write!!” said one more.
A fifth added: “I kept saying to the screen ‘Victoria please just [bleep] OFF!!..She’s like an irritating fly that keeps flying around you when you’re trying to eat dinner…Poor John…”
“She’s everywhere like a bad smell that won’t go away,” said one more.
Someone else compared her to a stalker! “Victoria is basically Martha from Baby Reindeer. Weirdo”
Another wrote: “Next scene will be John trying to go to the bog only to suddenly find Victoria standing beside him saying ‘Hi. What are you doing now?’”
