Emmerdale fans spotted what seemed like a savage nod to Boris Johnson's resignation right before Faith's emotional farewell scenes.
It was a highly emotional episode on Thursday (July 7) as Faith (Sally Dexter) began saying her goodbyes to her friends and family on the Dales.
She has been battling cancer but has decided to stop her treatment, meaning her days on the Dales are sadly numbered.

However, some viewers noticed Faith said "them's the breaks" during her precious evening with Eric – the exact phrase prime minister Boris used in his resignation speech earlier that day.
Shooting for the ITV soap normally occurs way before the episodes air on TV so it's most likely a coincidence, but it seemed like producers had slipped in a subtle swipe at the Tories.
One thing is for sure, and that's that it added a much needed bit of light relief to an otherwise emotionally-heavy episode.
One fan said: "Thems the breaks.' Says Faith. She’s not the only person to say that ridiculous line today!!"

A fourth added: "wow. May have been filmed months ago, but FaIth quotes Boris Johnson on the very day he says it in his resignation speech ‘Them’s the Breaks’. Marvellous."
