Emmerdale fans are all saying the same thing after David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden make shock return
EMMERDALE fans are in shock after David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden made a surprise return after a three month exit.
The couple – who are played by actors Matthew Wolfenden and Isabel Hodgins in the ITV soap – disappeared from screens last year after an off-screen incident.

It was explained to viewers that they had gone to Portugal to visit Diane Sugden – but they stayed for three months.
Tonight they made a shock return to the village with a weak explanation about why they stayed away.
David told Jacob: “Sorry we’ve been away so long, I thought Theo’s ear infection would never clear up.”
He later revealed he had to give a statement about his former relationship with serial killer Meena Jutla.
“The police phoned,” he said.

“They want me to make a statement about whatever it is I know.
“We do have some other news he said,” going to stand by Victoria.
She added: “Only if you’re alright with it though.”
David then told him: “We want to be a proper family. You, me, Vic, the kids.”
Jacob quickly agreed – but fans were in shock at the pair’s unannounced return, particularly at David’s new look.
One wrote: “Why does David look like David Beckham? #Emmerdale.”
A second said: “what the hell has David Medcalf done with his hair???”
