Emmerdale’s Finn Barton heartbroken after Kasim Sabet discovers he stalked him in the hospital and leaves
The path of true love doesn't so much not run smoothly as run straight out of the door and away from the man who stalked you when you were in a coma
EMMERDALE'S Finn Barton has been left heartbroken after Kasim Sabet left when he discovered Finn had 'stalked' him while he was in a coma.
Car crash survivor Kasim arrived in the village looking for the man who saved him and as soon as he found himthe pair began flirting, but after spending the night together, Kasim discovered the truth and understandably fled - but not before the pair shared a kiss.
Despite the Bartons coming together to try and support Finn, Pete put his foot in it and unintentionally told Kasim about Finn's trips to the hospital to visit him.
Quick as a flash Kasim jumped up, muttered a totally believable excuse and ran from the pub, and when Finn went chasing after him, he had long gone.
It was all so promising after Kasim arrived in the village looking for the man who saved him, but didn't know who he was or what he looked like.
Finn, meanwhile, was busy feeling depressed over his family, the death of his father and being stopped from seeing Kasim by his brother, and without realising it Tracy ended up helping Kasim find Finn without realising she was looking for Finn.
But when they finally came face to face, it was Kasim worried he would look like a stalker as a custard-covered Finn made the world's worst attempt to hide all of two feet away from the man he saved.
"I didn't know if I'd ever see you again," he told Kasim.
"So I bet I'm pretty much the last person you were expecting to see again," said Kasim as he explained he found Finn with the help of a local newspaper article and a lot of luck.
Kasim insisted on buying Finn a proper drink, before the pair headed over to the B&B and Kasim dropped some subtle hints that he was gay and single like telling Finn he was gay and single.
The flirty pair bonded over their love of music and their terrible families, and their embarrassing life stories and it looks hopeful for the pair, though Finn's behaviour in the hospital must cause a few problems.

Joe Gill, who plays the troubled Finn, revealed: "Nobody is really there for Finn [after his dad's death]. The person who used to be there for him the most was his dad.
"So I think the connection that Finn feels with Kasim is very strong. When Kasim was in a coma, he unloaded all of his thoughts onto him.
"Even though Kasim might not have been able to hear him, Finn feels a bond towards him and thinks he's the only person he can confide in."
However, Finn is yet to reveal to his new beau that he even visited him in the hospital for fear of scaring Kasim away.
This makes it awkward when Kasim discovers that Finn had come to see him while he was in a coma.
Joe added: "Through the three years I've been here at Emmerdale, Finn has never been lucky in love.
So when the producer Iain MacLeod told me this was what he was planning, I was hoping it would at least go right for a few months!"
The star also joked that Ethan Kai, who plays Kasim, has had an easy ride as the new boy after playing a coma patient for the past months.
