Emmerdale fans bash Titanic-sized plot holes amid lake crash

Fans of Emmerdale have started to pick apart this week’s lake crash stunt – finding a series of gaping plot holes as the survivors of the limousine disaster fought for life.

This followed the events of Valentine’s Day, in which a limousine containing Charity, Chas, Amy, Kerry, Suzy, Vanessa, Tracy, Leyla and Doctor Liam crashed off the road onto an ice-covered lake.

Resting precariously on the surface, it was only a matter of time before the vehicle sank to the freezing depths below.

The women (and Liam) staged an escape last night (Monday, February 17), creeping across the ice to safety, one by one. This went better for some – Tracy, Liam and Charity all made it across without much trouble, while Chas took a tumble and Amy sank entirely.

Thrilling scenes… but some were distracted by the survivors’ somewhat counter-intuitive behaviour.

Emmerdale fans point out plot holes in ice lake crash

Writing on social media as the episode aired, fans registered their confusion at the survivors’ actions. And, among the questionable work on show, many noticed how members of the group kept slamming the limo door shut as they made their way out of the vehicle.

“What gets me is why they kept shutting the door every time they got out,” wrote one viewer on Reddit.

Others pointed out the strange choice to delicately totter across the ice (in heels, no less!) rather than carefully crawling.

“I wondered why they took so long to try to escape and why they didn’t crawl to spread their weight? So the ice could stand the weight of a limo with a load of people in but gave way at other points?” another viewer wrote.

“I don’t understand why nobody took their heels off to get across the ice and why everybody was slamming the door all hard, that makes no sense to me,” said a third.

Meanwhile, others wondered why – Charity aside – nobody was trying to call for help.

“Why is no one calling 999? Of course in soap world no one has a signal at all and no one around for miles,” one viewer pointed out.
