Emmerdale fans delighted as ‘annoying’ Naomi Walters bids dramatic farewell to the village

Emmerdale fans could hardly contain their joy when the ‘beyond annoying’ character Naomi Walters finally took an abrupt farewell from the Yorkshire village on Thursday.

Naomi, played by Karene Peter, turned her back on her job as a pub chef after being accused of stealing from the cash register and handing out free pints to family members.

For some, her dramatic departure couldn’t have come sooner as fans took to Twitter to share their horror at the on-screen character Karene, 32, portrayed.

Nami had vehemently protested her innocence, but insisted she leave the country.

“This time tonight I’ll be in Ibiza and I’m not coming back,” she vowed, as soap fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Fans shared on Twitter, “Naomi isn’t a minute too far so thank Christ for that and now for the rest of the Charles family to follow along and make it as soon as possible because I’ve lost the will to deal with this boring, sanctimonious people to live! #emmerdale’;

‘#emmerdale hallelujah Naomi is gone! Where is Ethan and why didn’t Charles report him missing? Now the old mother and unreliable father can leave too! #boring’;

‘Naomi is tidy. Never come back. EVER!’, while @Floral_Fanatic_ declared her ‘soooo annoying’; Ding dong Naomi is gone! #Emmerdale’;

“Anyone for a conga now that Naomi’s done one?!”; “Naomi was a terrible character from day one. Glad she’s gone’; ‘Good riddance Naomi! And don’t come back.’

However, someone far less happy to see her go was the distraught-looking Vinny Dingle, played by Bradley Johnson, who had just loaned her a substantial amount of money.

Elsewhere in the soap, Dan Spencer faces the prospect of a life behind bars after a single punch leaves Amelia’s stalker daughter fighting for his life.

In Wednesday’s episode, Lloyd (Matt Sutton) suffered serious injuries after Dan (Liam Fox) was punched during a “moment of madness.”

Dan loses his temper after confronting Lloyd about stalking his daughter, but now finds himself in a police cell awaiting an uncertain future.

After Lloyd came to the salon and sent a note to her house, the concerned hairdresser confided in her father.

In Wednesday’s episode, a protective Dan tries to take the law into his own hands and warn Lloyd about his daughter.

His action led to drastic consequences for both him and Lloyd.
