EMMERDALE viewers are enraged about the latest plot involving Arthur Thomas and his alleged ‘sexploits’.
Fans watched in disbelief on Monday, as 17-year-old Arthur (played by Alfie Clarke) bragged to April about his ‘sexually prowess’.

He had April believe that he had slept with older man John Sugden (played by Oliver Farnsworth).
His mum Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) leapt to his defence, as she confronted John in the Woolpack.
He, of course, denied the allegations, saying Arthur was too young for him.
But it turned out after Nicola had a heart-to-heart with Arthur, it was all lies and he hadn’t slept with John after all.
He confessed that April had assumed it, but he hadn’t put her straight because he didn’t want anyone to ‘think he was a child’.
Nicola encouraged the teenager to apologise to John, who then forgave Arthur.
However, his mother was still very angry at him and their relationship became strained.
After the episode, fans took to social media to air their outrage at the plot and the character.
One Emmerdale fan took to X, formerly Twitter, to say: “This kid Arthur, is getting on my nerves.”
Another raged: “Finally Arthur tells the truth! Idiot”

A third was incredulous saying: “…not in a million years that Arthur would do something like this? really Laurel? the same Arthur who used to bully Archie?”
The storyline got people talking about how Arthur and other characters had changed for the worse.
One fumed: “Arthur & Amelia were lovely youngsters and the script writers have changed their characters into nasty teenagers.
Another said: “Why do they do that to the kids?? They go away as cherubs, then return as utter ****. Samson, Amelia, Gobby to name a few.”
Most complained about soap storylines
Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…
EastEnders baby theft: 13,400Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.
Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.
Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
Viewers will remember that Arthur Thomas is the son of Laurel and Ashley Thomas and the half-brother of Gabby and brother of Dotty Thomas.
However, because of a mix-up at the hospital, he was initially believed to be the son of Greg and Melanie Doland. In 2022, Arthur came out as gay to his family and friends.
