Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) is finally set to learn the truth about Sarah Sugden’s (Katie Hill) new health condition in Emmerdale, and it’ll leave the family rocked.
Charity’s only recently found out that Sarah (Katie Hill) has been making solid plans to have a baby via IVF, having visited Manpreet (Rebecca Sarker) for advice and referrals to specialists.
Charity has made it clear that she does not approve, largely because of the stress carrying a baby could put Sarah’s body under. Currently, Charity thinks that’s as bad as it gets.
What Charity doesn’t yet know is that while Sarah was being examined to see how likely it would be for IVF to work, Sarah learned her cervix was inflamed. After a further investigation, she was dealt the blow that she had full blown cervical cancer.
In a tense meeting with her doctor, she learned that her cervix would need to be removed, but that her womb and ovaries would be left behind and she could still potentially carry a baby – this was all Sarah needed to hear to keep her dream alive.
Jacob found out about her health and begged her to tell Charity what she was facing, but Sarah felt her gran would not understand.
With Charity still in the dark, Sarah goes in for her procedure and is thrilled when Dr Knapp reveals they managed to retrieve a good number of eggs to test for viability. Her dream of motherhood is feeling closer than ever.
But her fragile world is set to crash down once again. Charity is snooping and answers a call on Sarah’s phone – it’s from the hospital and she learns that her granddaughter has the Big C.
Charity is dumbfounded by the news. Desperate for answers she later corners Sarah and catches her off guard by revealing what she knows and from what Emma Atkins has told Metro, it looks like there are dark times ahead for the family.
Emma revealed that for Charity: ‘It’s going to be huge towards the middle and end of the year, with her connections with Sarah [Sugden], basically.’ Is Sarah’s cancer going to become too advanced to survive?
