Emmerdale: Samson should have recorded Josh to catch him out, scream fans
Fight smarter, not harder, Samson
Fans of Emmerdale have been left confused by last night’s episode, in which Samson Dingle had the perfect opportunity to catch slimy pal Josh out… and didn’t.
In this episode, Samson lured Josh out and beseeched that he confess to harassing Matty.
Feeling bad that they had effectively ruined Matty’s life, Samson told Josh that he needed to follow his lead and also confess to the police. Josh refused, pushing back as Samson attempted to force a confession.
Samson confronts Josh
Ironically, as they argued, Josh did confess all, telling Samson how he’d come after Matty because he was ‘asking to be robbed,’ and describing him as a ‘freak’ who had been ‘mouthing off’ at him. He then told him that he planned to take his secret ‘to the grave,’ getting off scot free while Samson rots in prison.
Josh’s very detailed outburst left some fans wondering whether Samson might have something up his sleeve… but instead he attacked Josh, only getting himself in more trouble with the police.
Emmerdale fans confused by Samson and Josh confrontation
As the episode aired, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Samson and Josh’s confrontation. And many wondered why Samson hadn’t bothered to record Josh’s damning confession.
“Why didn’t he record it on his phone?” asked one confused fan on Instagram, where the soap had shared a video of the pair.
“Every smart phone has a voice notes feature these days, unless you live in Soap Land!” pointed out another.
“Why didn’t he try recording him?” asked a third.
“Should have recorded the confession on his moby,” said a fouth.
“I thought he would have recorded the conversation,” sighed another.
Instead, Samson assaulted Josh – an attack which was caught on a nearby doorbell camera. PC Swirling then cornered him in The Woolpack, and arrested him for the crime.
