Emmerdale fans hit out at villager and slam ‘bad parenting’ after character leaves 10 year old son home alone


EMMERDALE fans have slammed one villager for ‘bad parenting’ after leaving their 10-year-old son at home by himself.

The character in question has been part of the ITV soap for over two decades.

Viewers weren’t happy with Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) after she seemingly left her 10-year-old adoptive son Carl (Charlie Munro Joyce) home alone.

The boy had been at home feeling unwell when Arthur Thomas (Alfie Clarke) arrived, frustrated with his own mother Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy).

Nicola sent Carl upstairs to sort out some laundry, while she spoke to Arthur.

Fans were especially frustrated at it seemed the youngster had been trying to tell Nicola something.

Taking to X, one person wrote: “Nicola isn’t a very good mother.

“Carl was trying to tell her something yet will listen to Arthur who isn’t your son. Bad parenting sorry. #Emmerdale.”

Another commented: “Come on Carl, surely you’ve paired the socks by now.

“Go and tell your Mum what you saw……oh hang on your Mums just left you home alone #Emmerdale.”

A third penned: “Carl – run out of the house! #emmerdale.”

While a fourth remarked: “Carl is too young to be left in the house on his own… #Emmerdale.”


It comes as soap fans hoped Carl could expose his cousin Tom King (James Chase) as an abuser and coercive controller.

Tom has been tormenting his estranged wife Belle (Eden Taylor-Draper) in a storyline spanning several months.

This culminated in Belle attacking Tom with an axe, although he survived – and managed to get his hands on a key piece of evidence.

Although Belle knew there was likely evidence of Tom’s abuse on his iPad.

However, he nabbed it before the police – but was seen smashing it to pieces by Carl.
