EMMERDALE viewers think the soap has hinted a secret affair between two unlikely characters – from before one of them was brutally killed off.
Fans saw Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) die in the ITV soap’s horror limo crash aired earlier this month.
Suzy notably had a relationship with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) during her time in the village.
But viewers think she may have secretly had an affair before her tragic demise.
Namely, with Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson), who has mourned the loss of Suzy.
While Mary described Suzy as a “friend”, fans haven’t been left convinced.
One wrote on X: “#emmerdale Oh hello Mary…was suzy more than a friend…..”
Another added: “Yo Mary and Suzy have definitely had an affair or some kind of a moment..
“She was my friend” More than that love. #emmerdale.”
A third remarked: “Why do I get the feeling Suzy and Mary had a secret affair #emmerdale.”
It comes following viewers last year begging show bosses to write a “happily ever after” for Mary.
She and Suzy had grown close while Vanessa was away from the village, in Canada.

Later, Vanessa and Suzy shared a kiss, but it wasn’t long before Suzy was glancing over at Mary.

In the preceding months, Mary had been conned by former love interest Faye Helders and left embarrassed after she shared compromising pictures of her around the village.
She also contended with daughter Rhona’s drama with her ex-partner Gus over baby Ivy, which was stressful for the whole family.
Taking to X – formerly Twitter – Emmerdale fans discussed the love triangle between the three women.
One wrote: “The fact that Suzy had just kissed Vanessa then immediately was making heart eyes at Mary. She needs to sort this out before everyone gets hurt.”
Another said: “I don’t cringe but all my sympathy is with Mary.”
While a third demanded: “WILL SOMEONE PLEASE KISS MARY GOSKIRK????? Suzy Merton, I’m looking at you. Leave Vanessa alone and get on that. Cheers.”
Emmerdale continues on ITV1 and ITVX.
