Emmerdale: Sam tells son Samson to run from the village Emmerdale viewers were left scratching their heads after spotting a gaffe involving characters Samson Dingle and Josh Cope. This week on the popular soap, Samson (played by Sam Hall) is set to face his plea hearing for an upcoming court case, with the threat of imprisonment looming after he disclosed being stabbed by Matty (Ash Palmisciano). Viewers will remember that last month, local bad boy Josh (Osian Morgan) and Samson tried to rob The Hide.
The situation turned violent when Josh shoved Samson into Matty, who was armed with a knife, resulting in Samson's stabbing. Initially, both Josh and Samson falsely accused Matty of the stabbing, leading to Matty's incarceration. Eventually, Samson owned up to the truth, exonerating Matty but still omitted Josh's involvement due to fear.
In Monday's episode (August 5), a confrontation between Samson and Josh led to a fight, with Josh admitting to targeting "freak" Matty because he was "asking to be robbed.", reports the Manchester Evening News .
