Emmerdale viewers have slammed the soap after the police decided Daz Spencer had abducted Amelia because he blinked.
Fans watching Friday night’s episode couldn’t believe how the police decided that Day was their main suspect.
Having had the family take part in a press conference about the teenager’s disappearance, the watching detectives looked for any little clue.
Dad sat next to his brother Dan and begged Amelia to come home safe.
But DS Benton’s highly-trained policeman’s mind left a lot to be desired for viewers when he decided an inopportune blink meant that Daz had taken her.

DS Benton told his colleague: “He blinks just as he says he wants her safe.
“It’s a distancing technique to make himself feel better.
“All roads lead back to Daz and I reckon he can still lead us to Amelia.
“Daz Spencer is still one of the only suspects who makes any sense right now.”
Viewers hit out at the ‘ridiculous’ scene.
One said: “So he blinks and he is guilty of abduction? Where exactly did DS Benton train?? #emmerdale.”
