EI split: Mary / Suzy Emmerdale

In Emmerdale Mary has started to ‘annoy’ fans, as they call for a change in her current storyline.

At the moment, Mary is heavily involved in April’s disappearance storyline. But her recent actions have not gone down well with viewers.

Recently, despite Rhona’s protests, Mary lashed out at Laurel when it came out that she made a drunken pass at Marlon.

Emmerdale Mary ‘annoying’ fans

This immediately caused backlash with fans, as they believed Rhona was the one who should have sorted the situation with Laurel. Not her mum.

Things only got worse whenever she not so discreetly insinuated she thinks there is a high chance April could be dead. And while, many people in the village may have shared the same thoughts, they all chose not to vocalise it.

Now Emmerdale fans have taken to a Reddit thread to discuss whether or not they are happy with Mary’s character. And one thing they all agree on, is that they wish her romance with Suzy was revisited.

A while back, Emmerdale shocked fans by giving Mary and Suzy feelings for each other. But before there was ever a chance to fully develop it, Vanessa was back in Suzy’s life and Mary stepped aside.

Despite this, the pair have maintained a close bond. And it’s obvious they care for one another. Although fans wish it was still romantic.

One wrote: “I love the actress Louise Jameson. But Mary is getting on my nerves. Her overuse of the nickname ‘poppet’ to Rhona is driving me mad.”

Another agreed: “I wish they would have her go back to the romance she had with Suzy. That story had some premise and they just cut it off.”

This was backed up by another fan who admitted: “I got so excited when I saw them sit together in the pub a few nights ago.”

“She is being underused. I really loved the idea of her and Suzy. But that’s been abandoned. My worry is that she will be kept by the wayside,” a fan theorised.

As it seems fans are desperate for Mary and Suzy to be revisited, could Emmerdale bring the pair back together again? Anything is possible in soaps!
