Emmerdale fans all say the same thing after major Charity Dingle 'plot twist'

ITV viewers took to social media in shock during Emmerdale's latest episode, which saw a major plot twist in Charity Dingle's (played by Emma Atkins) quest to help her granddaughter Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) become a mother. In the weeks after Charity agreed to become a surrogate, she faced a scare where she was bleeding and fearing an unsuccessful embryo transfer. But Charity returned to the fertility clinic and learned she was pregnant. This sparked major excitement in her own relationship with Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) as well as the newly expectant parents, Sarah and Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant).

However, as the family were celebrating the news at The Woolpack, Charity ran into her ex, Ross Barton (Michael Parr), who saw the celebrations, which prompted a flashback of the two kissing. As Charity was drunk and unsure of how the night ended, Ross confirmed they had a one-night stand. He questioned the baby's paternity and sternly asked her, "Is it mine?" This sparked a major reaction from astounded fans, including one who questioned: "It might be Ross, not Jacob & Sarah's baby????"

A second penned: "Omg it's Ross's baby, we all should've known he'll get someone pregnant how many people he slept with."
