Emmerdale fans spot HUGE blunder after Billy Fletcher’s racist attack

EMMERDALE fans have spotted a HUGE blunder after Billy Fletcher was brutally beaten in a horrifying racially-motivated attack.

Viewers were confused after the character - played by Jay Kontzle - was seen in hospital in one scene, and then back at home in the next.

Billy was attacked by a racist in a recent episode of the ITV soap after he headed out for drinks with his father-in-law Will Taylor.

But later on in the episode, Billy's wife Dawn - played by Olivia Taylor - received a shocking text message that her other half was in hospital.

It was revealed that Billy had been racially attacked, and that the police were involved in tracking down who was responsible.

Lawyer Ethan Anderson was caught in the middle as it was revealed that Jordan was Billy's attacker after seeing CCTV images.

However, fans were distracted from the drama when Billy appeared to hop from hospital straight home despite his injuries.

While lying in a hospital bed, he had been seen previously with brutal gashes over his eyebrows and cheek, and broken ribs.

Fans noticed how he wasn't kept in hospital overnight to treat the injuries, and appeared to be sent home within hours.

"Two broken ribs and Billy's home within a couple of hours? Jesus, I wish our health service was that quick," one fan quipped.

"Christ, Billy got home quick!" a second said, as a third chimed in: "What do you know! Billy's home already."

"He was at death's door five minutes ago - that hospital is the best," a fourth joked in response, as a fifth concluded: "Home already?"

Fans of the show were left horrified after Billy was beaten and taken to hospital with injuries to his face and ribs.

Emmerdale viewers took to Twitter to share their horror at the attack and its aftermath, with one writing: "Billy has had a horrible year."

Another added: "Jeez, poor Billy…" as a third tweeted: "Blimey, look at all them bruises on poor Billy."

Emmerdale airs on ITV and is available on ITVHub.
