In the latest instalment of Emmerdale, Aaron Dingle (played by Danny Miller) was left shellshocked when his younger sister Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele) was sent to prison for four months after spiking Lisa Dingle’s (Jane Cox) drink with ketamine.
Now fans of the long-running ITV show are worried Aaron could be heading in a downward spiral after noticing a familiar telltale sign.
On last night’s episode, Aaron found it difficult to control his anger following Liv’s sentencing and lashed out at Joseph Tate (Ned Porteous) and Lisa.
The mechanic was later seen running in the village, which distressed viewers as he had done it in the past to cope with his drug problem.
Spotting Aaron’s sudden change in behaviour, fans of the show flocked to Twitter to air their concerns.
One person wrote: “Aaron running again this isn’t gonna end good #Emmerdale.”
“Oh no Aaron’s running. Should we be worried? #Emmerdale #Robron,” added another.
A third said: “It gives me so much anxiety seeing Aaron running again.”
Others bashed Liv’s prison storyline, claiming the soap was “repeating” Aaron’s own jail plot.
Last year Aaron was sent to jail for 12 months for attacking Kasim Sabet, shortly after marrying Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley).
One tweeted: “Man, blatantly repeating the Aaron prison storyline with Liv #Emmerdale.”
“I guess we can expect Robert to be in prison next year…prison sl 3.0 #Emmerdale #PredictableEmmerdale,” commented a second.
Elsewhere in Emmerdale, Lisa suffered a heart attack following an explosive row with her husband Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell) over her decision to report her surrogate granddaughter Liv to the police.
The pair had exchanged choice words, with Zak declaring: “What you’ve done to her now and to the family, it’s unforgivable.
“No you’re not one of us Lisa, you can’t be, and right now I can’t bear to look at you.”
What followed frighten fans as the matriarch collapsed with pain on the sofa of her beloved Wishing Well Cottage.
Luckily, her daughter Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) found her shortly after Zak had stormed out of the house.
Lisa was rushed to hospital and warned by the doctor to change something at home to prevent her from having another attack.
Appearing to take on board the advice, Lisa told Belle she was “going to go away” because she feared her health would deteriorate if she stayed with Zak.
Emmerdale continues tonight on ITV at 7pm.
