Emma Barton (James wife)

yeah Laurel and Chas should have been in the Emma Barton comeuppance exit from the beginning as in 2015 Emma was responsible for locking Chas in the cellar whilst the gas was leaking from the gas bottles, she was responsible for making Chas think she had smashed up the pub on more than one occasion, she was responsible for sending Chas into panic attacks, making Chas sleep walk and grab a knife and take it back to bed with her, Emma also left all the beer , larger, soft drinks and taps running downstairs in the pub when Cain was banging on the front door to be let in and Emma was responsible for Chas having voices in her head causing her to stab Diane and Aaron bottling James over the head in the pub because James was cheating on Chas with Emma. in 2017 Emma triggered off the Motorway Pile Up accident which involved Ashley / Paddy / Rhona / Aaron & Robert / Adam / Victoria Sugden / Ross Barton / Pete Barton and James Barton{who died} and Lachlan White from the side lines, Emma was also manipulating Ashley on camera for a long time after the accident.

IMO, Emma's exit should've only included her boys, it shouldn't have been turned into a surprise Moira is pregnant reveal. I'd also put good money on the aftermath being all about Moira rather than Ross and Pete, they'll probably get a few scenes then disappear for a few weeks.
