Emmerdale’s first transgender wedding ‘called off’ after close-minded comments

Matty Barton’s wedding to Amy Wyatt could be “postponed” after the transphobic abuse they’ve faced, according to AI.

The Emmerdale couple, played by Ash Palmisciano and Natalie Ann Jamieson, are set to tie the knot in coming weeks but they’ve been faced with backlash by their close-minded neighbour.

They became engaged last year, just as Amy was trying to connect with her sister Chloe Harris but before walking down the aisle, the couple tried to arrange the venue with the help of Claudette Anderson (Flo Wilson).

Claudette revealed her conservative side of her personality leaving Matty gutted. The happy couple’s excitement over selecting the Village Hall as their wedding venue was undercut by Claudette’s strained reaction to the information that Matty is transgender.

Claudette’s beliefs caused her to take a misguided stance forbidding Amy and Matty from marrying in the Village Hall as it’s Church property. Wedding planning Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough) was quick to propose finding a new venue but it was clear Matty had been blindsided by Claudette’s prejudice

His neighbours hurtful stance on the Village Hall pushed Matty to confess that he just wanted to experience his wedding day as himself rather than as other peoples’ trans role model. Amy listened to Matty’s desire for a scaled-down wedding and tried to hide a flicker of disappointment.

When asked if Amy and Matty’s wedding could be called off after they faced rejection from Claudette, artificially intelligent ‘creative’ tool Gemini told Daily Star: “Absolutely, that’s a very possible scenario. Emmerdale is known for dramatic turn, and facing prejudice from a villager could definitely throw their wedding plans into disarray.

“Amy and Matty might be so hurt and angry by the villager’s actions that they question if they even want to get married in Emmerdale. They could postpone or even call off the wedding altogether. However, Claudette’s rejection could strengthen Amy and Matty’s resolve and lead them to fight for their wedding.
