Tormented teenager Liv Flaherty was in court during last night’s episode of Emmerdale, facing punishment for spiking Lisa Dingle’s drink with ketamine.
And viewers were full of worry for the tortured teen as she turned to drink as a way of coping with her problems.
At the start of the episode, Liv’s friend Gabby came to see her before their court appearance.
Fans were shocked when Liv pulled out a plastic bottle and offered Gabby some vodka.
“Are you serious?” Gabby said. “As if you’re not in enough trouble already?”
The viewers took to social media to express their worries for poor Liv.
“Liv still in desperate need of stability and guidance,” said one fan. “Liv, drinking is not a good idea,” said another.
After the court appearance, where Liv pleaded guilty, Chas stepped in and offered Liv a job at the pub after school. She said it would help Liv look responsible when she next goes to court.
But lots of viewers were adamant that though Chas was trying to help the young family member, giving her a job in the Woolpack wasn’t the best plan.
“Not a good idea,” said one fan bluntly.
“Liv will be like the proverbial kid in a sweet/off licence shop with all that free booze available to nick,” said another.
“Leaving Liv with all the booze is not the best idea,” added another viewer.

And another fan simply begged: “Liv is breaking my heart.”
