EMMERDALE viewers have been left disgusted with Arthur Thomas over his bullying of Archie Sharma.
The son of late vicar Ashley Thomas has been abusing Archie over his jealouslyof him but tonight he tried to force the youngster into running away.
Archie moved to live with dad Jai after the death of his mum Rachel Spencer earlier this year.
And tonight he bullied Archie and got Angelica to join in until he fought back.
Arthur told him: “No one wants you here, you’re dad’s lying.
“He only brought you here because he doesn’t know what else to do with you. He knows we all hate you. Even he hates you. Everyone else hates you.”
Angelica then joined in to show off with Arthur and an upset Archie lashed out slapping her.
Later Arthur told him: “We’d all be much happier if you just leave. Go to the woods, just hide in there no one would find you. We’d all be miles better off if you just went.”
Archie then let himself out of the house and ran away and viewers were heartbroken for the little one.

One wrote: “breaks my heart seeing the way Archie is treated by Arthur and knowing there’s kids out there like that who are too afraid to tell anyone they’re being picked on.”
A second said: “Arthur is becoming annoying now, bullying Archie its not fair on Archie to be going through this ordeal on his own!#Emmerdale.”
Another added: “Can’t wait for Arthur to be found out. This is sickening.”
Earlier Archie had been asked if he was going to audition for the village’s pantomime but before he could answer, Arthur began insulting him to humiliate him in front of his friends.
He said: “Wouldn’t bother if I was you. Who’d want to go and watch something with you in it? Unless you’re a frog or something. He’d be a good frog, wouldn’t he?”
