The ITV soap saw Pierce Harris (played by Jonathan Wrather) found guilty of raping his wife Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) after a traumatic trial last night, but elsewhere another twisted scanerio was unfolding.
With Chrissie (Louise Marwood) unaware that ‘Simon’ (Mark Moraghan) is actually her biological uncle Tim Richards, the heiress has developed a crush on the businessman.
During the episode, Chrissie attempted to charm him over a couple of cocktails.
It wasn’t long before she took her flirtation to the next level and made her move, going in for a kiss.
Naturally, Tim was appalled, pulling back from his niece as she tried to initiate a romantic connection.
“What?!” he exclaimed. “No, no. You’ve got this all wrong.”
Emmerdale fans cringed over the awkward encounter, taking to social media to beg for the truth to be revealed to Chrissie before she takes her crush any further.
“For Gawd’s sake someone put Chrissie right! #emmerdale #he’syouruncle,”(sic) said one, while another added: “Ew no, please don’t Chrissie.”
One viewer seemed to see the humour in the incident, however, saying: “Chrissie prefers a more mature man these days… Just a shame he’s her uncle.”
Later in the episode, Chrissie was left puzzled as to why Simon wasn’t interested in her, even asking if was because he was either gay or married.
“As creepy as it was for Chrissie to try and kiss her uncle, her wondering why he didn’t want to was hilarious,” one viewer tweeted.
Emmerdale continues Monday at 7pm on ITV.
