Emmerdale has taken to utilising incidental music to highlight emotional scenes \u2013 but it\u2019s not been a big hit with all fans.<\/p>

In fact, scenes this week, showing Bear and Paddy on trial and afterwards, have left fans positively furious.<\/p>\n

Music in Emmerdale scenes<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not a tactic Emmerdale often employs, using music over the top of the actors. It\u2019s more a movie technique. But since Corriedale it has become more obvious that it\u2019s something Emmerdale are trying out.<\/p>\n

And also in Janaury it was noticeable when Graham Foster returned to Home Farm. Kim\u2019s opera music was playing in the background with it reaching crescendo as Graham walked in.<\/p>
