Soap fans have leapt to Priya Sharma’s defence after the shocking child abuse storyline concluded in Emmerdale.
Last night (Wednesday 4 April), Megan discovered that Eliza’s bruises were actually caused by her medication – not due to abuse at the hands of Priya.
And fans were livid on Priya’s behalf!
Desperate to know what was causing the recurring bruising on their daughter’s body, worried parents Megan and Jai rushed her to the hospital and demanded to know what was wrong…

And the doctor gave them her diagnosis, saying: “I believe that the slightest changes to the medication she takes for her epilepsy could have caused an adverse reaction. […] These side effects are very rare, which is why we didn’t pick up on it the first time.”
She then reassured them that “Eliza is going to be just fine”. Phew!
Megan and Jai originally suspected that Priya was guilty of causing the bruising on her niece, as Eliza was in her care when she first got the worrying marks.
Even social services called the bruising “suspicious”.

Well, well, well. The bruises resurfaced and Priya was nowhere near Eliza. End result – reaction to the epilepsy meds. Looks like some huge apologies are needed in Priya’s direction from her family and social services. #Emmerdale

Meanwhile, Twitter users heaped praise on Priya after her glamorous transformation for a job interview.
The cafe worker shed her apron and slipped into a tight-fitting blue dress and heels after being invited to try out for a new role at a big company.
While she didn’t get the job, at least she’s off the hook with social services! You win some, you lose some…
