Emmerdale's Leyla split pic

Emmerdale fans already weren’t happy over Leyla Harding’s death, but they’ve branded it as a huge ‘mistake’ once again after last night (Thursday, March 6).

In a huge twist, Leyla’s funeral episode aired a special voiceover, with Leyla narrating her own send-off.

With Leyla making sure that she was the star of the show in life and death, fans reckon these scenes have confirmed that her death was an extremely bad decision.

Leyla’s funeral episode

Last night in the Dales, the villagers (and viewers) were left teary-eyed as Leyla narrated her own funeral.

She made sure she was remembered in style, with six men carrying her gold coffin. She even made ex-husband Liam read a eulogy to her, in a super awkward but memorable moment.

Afterwards, at her wake, it turned out that Leyla had even left messages to her loved ones. Jacob’s reminded him to use moisturiser…

In another huge moment, it was then revealed that Leyla had actually take not one, not two… but three secrets to the grave.

Proving that she was the heart and soul of the village, intertwined in everyone’s lives until the very end, she caught Tracy pocketing money from the shop.

She then walked in on Mary kissing Suzy, and also rumbled Manpreet’s saucy online side-hustle…

Emmerdale fans brand Leyla death huge ‘mistake’ once more

When Leyla sadly died in the limo crash last month, fans made their devastation known. They thought the soap’s decision to kill off the long-running character was a bad decision.

And now, with Leyla having one last moment to shine in her (and, oh sorry, Amy’s) funeral episode, fans reckon these scenes have cemented the decision to kill off Leyla being a massive mistake. They think that Leyla being alive to spill all of the secrets would’ve been much more enjoyable.

One fan commented: “This episode is confirming that killing off Leyla and Suzy was a massive mistake.”

Another person shared: “It’s increasingly obvious that killing off Amy, Leyla and Suzy is one of the all-time worst decisions.”

A third person added: “I do feel sorry for Leyla. Should have caused some chaos with the secrets being spilled. We’ve been robbed.”
