Sarah Sugden’s (Katie Hill) journey to parenthood has been a complete roller coaster in Emmerdale, and it’s about to hit a sharp downwards turn.
After Sarah underwent an emergency hysterectomy it looked like her dreams of becoming a mum were dashed, but Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) came forward with the idea they find a surrogate.
That too went south when they learned Sarah’s illness meant an agency wouldn’t touch her with a barge pole, so Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) magnanimously stepped up to the plate, but without husband Mack’s (Lawrence Robb) approval.
After some deep discussions and the threat of an ending marriage, Charity and Mack worked things out and the surrogacy plans could continue, and Sarah and Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) got engaged.
After Charity passed all the tests, the doctors were able to implant the embryos, and now it’s full steam ahead for the baby plans.
With everything so blissfully on track, Mack and Charity go for a lovely walk. Disaster strikes when Charity slips and falls, kicking off a huge chain of events.
Firstly, she must manage her own anxiety that it might have affected the implantation. She’s terrified that a stupid action could put paid to Sarah’s dream.
Back at Jacob’s, a nervous charity is trying to convince herself she’s fine and in doing so decides that when Sarah arrives home she simply won’t tell her what happened, a tactic that has worked so well for Charity in the past.

Sarah and Jacob can’t help but fuss over Charity, which heightens her anxiety, so she does her best to deflect things by suggesting Sarah and Jacob have an engagement party. The couple decide it’s a good idea while Charity is going out of her mind.
Her panic rises as she rushes to the toilet where she discovers she is bleeding. She confesses to Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick), but she still cannot bear to tell Sarah.
Charity is in line to both destroy Sarah’s dreams and betray her yet again. Is it all over with one simple fall?
