Fans of Emmerdale have deemed Chas Dingle a ‘hypocrite’ following a comment on last night’s episode of the show. As she made a remark about how bad metal health shouldn’t affect one’s behaviour, fans were quick to condemn the pub landlady.
This came as Paddy queried Caleb moving into the Woolpack – pointing out that he, and others, actually know very little about the village newcomer. Chas was quick to take umbrage, telling Marlon that ‘mental health struggles are not an excuse for bad behaviour.’
Emmerdale fans blast ‘hypocrite’ Chas
As the exchange aired, fans were incensed by Chas’s comment. Some were quick to point out that Chas was hardly innocent of using past trauma as an excuse herself.
Others, meanwhile, recalled that she was the reason for much of Paddy’s recent torment, having cheated on him with Al Chapman. As the episode played out, viewers vented their anger on Twitter.
“Just caught up with Emmerdale and the cheek of Chas,” said one fan. “‘After what she put Paddy through, and she’s still behaving like the victim.”

“LMAO at Chas saying that mental health isn’t an excuse for ‘bad behaviour,’ neither is your mother dying from cancer…” echoed a fourth.
