Emmerdale: Fans slam ‘ludicrous’ storyline which sees Cain Dingle masquerade as a lawyer
VIEWERS have branded last night’s episode of Emmerdale “ludicrous” after Cain Dingle managed to get into Lachlan White’s young offenders’ institute while masquerading as a solicitor.
Emmerdale: Cain Dingle surprises Lachlan White in prison
Cain (played by Jeff Hordley) was in the midst of a feud with Chrissie White (Louise Marwood), who was refusing to sell him her share of the garage.
Furious at her refusal, the brooding mechanic attempted to blackmail Chrissie by threatening her son Lachlan White (Thomas Atkinson), who is currently serving time in a juvenile prison.
When Chrissie said she did not believe that Cain had any contacts inside the institution, he took an extraordinary step to prove her wrong.
Donning a smart suit and tie, the father-of-two turned up at the prison pretending to be a solicitor and managed to get a one-on-one meeting with the teenager.
Fans of the Leeds-based soap took to social media to question how Cain had managed to get in without being caught out.
Ludicrous
One viewer said: “How the hell has cain just walked into a prison to see lachlan without a vistors order or nothing #Emmerdale. [sic]"
“#Emmerdale .......Another ridiculous story line as Arcane Dingle turns up as a solicitor!” another added.
Someone else asked: “Are the #Emmerdale scriptwriters serious? As if it would be that easy to imitate a solicitor and gain entry to a prisoner.”
While a fourth simply said: “Oh as If. Ludicrous. #emmerdale.”
However other viewers were thrilled to see Cain had ditched his everyday boiler suit and dressed the part as well.
One social media user said: “#Emmerdale Cain, you look great in a suit!”
Another agreed, adding: “Cain does scrub up well I have to say #Emmerdale.”
Emmerdale continues tomorrow night at 7pm on ITV.
