Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) celebrates the successful embryo transfer next week in Emmerdale, but Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) is secretly in turmoil…

Sarah’s baby journey has had a mother of a rocky start. Due to her fanconi anemia diagnosis, it became apparent that surrogacy agencies would almost certainly be unable to help.

After an attempt to convince Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) to act as a surrogate, Charity stepped up for her granddaughter, vowing to aid her in her bid to become a mother when all other options seemed exhausted.

The first embryo transfer failed following Charity suffering a fall while out on a walk with partner Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb).

After discovering she was bleeding, Charity later confided in ex Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick).

Next week, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) offers to pay for another transfer using funds he’s been hiding from his wife Moira (Natalie J Robb).

Sarah is grateful and the embryo transfer goes ahead. The following day, Charity is confirmed pregnant.

As an elated Sarah plans a celebration in the Woolpack to announce her news, privately, Charity secretly sinks into despair.

What’s troubling her?
