Emmerdale viewers are calling for the head of one of the soap’s regular characters after their on-screen antics left fans fuming.
Recent episodes have shown Emma Barton committing arson to protect her son, Finn, and no one’s happy about it.
Finn’s been getting increasingly less stable as he pursues ex-boyfriend Kasim in an attempt to win him back.
But his stalker habits landed him in hot water when he was caught trashing Kasim’s room and ended up being hauled in by the police.
When one of the Barton brothers’ taxis was set alight shortly after Finn’s arrest, fingers were immediately pointed at Kasim himself having committed a revenge attack.
Ross Barton wasn’t so sure and thought Finn had done it and planted Kasim’s hoodie at the scene to frame him.

Neither accusation was correct because in fact it was Emma who’d done it.
It’s pretty clear to see where Finn gets his unhinged tendencies from, isn’t it?
Flocking to Twitter, viewers told how they’d had enough of Emma Barton and all the crimes she’s committed without punishment.
“When will Emma Barton get her comeuppance. Don’t know how much more of her nicey nicey behaviour I can take” wrote Leanne Joynson.
“So Emma Barton is now an arsonist… getting bored of her character now she needs to be caught out quick!!! [sic]” added Vikki Foster.
Mahria said: “Someone please kill Emma Barton already she’s getting on my nerves.”
And Lucy Smith agreed: “Please say Emma Barton is going to get her comeuppance soon for all her dastardly deeds.”

It’s not the first time fans have called for the character to be axed.
It was late last year that Emma pushed her fiancé James Barton to his death in the big Emmerdale stunt week, and so far, she hasn’t been caught out over her crime.
And then she manipulated dementia-sufferer Ashley into remembering events how she wanted him to. That was a step too far for most viewers who wanted her gone.
The soap gods don’t let things like this go unpunished for long, so surely it’s only a matter of time after this latest stunt before Emma’s true colours are shown and she’s cast out by her family.
Will Emma Barton survive the year in soap? We wouldn’t bet on it!
