Tonight’s episode promises to be an emotional rollercoaster filled with secrets, guilt, and betrayal. Emmerdale is once again pushing its characters to the edge — especially Charity Dingle,

whose shocking baby plan could change her life forever.

Charity’s Painful Secret — A Desperate Decision

In tonight’s highly anticipated episode, viewers will see Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) face one of the toughest choices of her life. Pregnant and burdened by secrecy, Charity turns to Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) for guidance. But what Chas hears leaves her deeply concerned.

After discovering that Ross Barton is the father of her unborn child, Charity feels trapped between shame and fear. The weight of the secret becomes unbearable, and she begins planning to terminate the pregnancy. Yet beneath her tough exterior lies a woman battling overwhelming guilt — not only about the baby but also about deceiving her family.

Charity tells her granddaughter Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) a fabricated story about her plans for the day, pretending everything is normal. Sarah, blissfully unaware, is overjoyed about the upcoming 12-week scan, still under the impression that the pregnancy is part of a surrogacy journey. But Charity’s heart aches knowing there may be no scan — no baby — at all.

Chas Pleads for Mercy and Patience

When Charity confides in Chas, emotions erupt. Chas, ever the voice of reason, pleads with her cousin not to rush into anything she might later regret. She warns that Charity could be making a heartbreaking mistake — turning one painful lie into an even bigger one by hiding the truth and acting impulsively.

Chas’s words strike a nerve, but Charity is determined. She insists she’s thought it through and believes ending the pregnancy is the only way to move forward. As the day unfolds, her inner turmoil deepens, torn between protecting herself and doing what might be right. By the episode’s end, Charity unveils her full plan — but the real question lingers: Will she actually go through with it?

Lewis Barton Caught in the Middle of Trouble

Elsewhere in the village, Lewis Barton (Jack Parr) finds himself tangled in other people’s drama after witnessing a tense moment between Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) and Vinnie Dingle (Bradley Johnson) at the café. The pair appear to be mending their relationship, but cracks are beginning to show beneath the surface.

When Lewis catches Vinnie alone, a candid conversation reveals that both men are struggling with private pain. Lewis, having overheard some revealing conversations from Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) at work, admits he understands the difficulty of maintaining appearances. Vinnie, touched by the support, finds comfort in Lewis’s empathy.

But in true Emmerdale fashion, even a moment of kindness can spark chaos. When Gabby spots Lewis and Vinnie sharing a hug, she misinterprets the situation — setting off a potential storm of jealousy and misunderstanding.

Rona’s Conflict — Has She Made a Terrible Mistake?

Meanwhile, Rona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) seeks solace from Moira Dingle (Natalie J. Robb) during a visit to Butler’s Farm. Rona is riddled with guilt after urging her stepdaughter April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) to move out. Her husband Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) is heartbroken by the empty house, but Rona is torn — unsure whether pushing April away was the right decision.

Just as Rona begins to question herself, Celia Daniels (Tara Fitzgerald) arrives, ever the manipulator, confidently assuring Rona she made the right choice. Celia’s influence has been quietly poisoning those around her, and it becomes increasingly clear that she has her own sinister motives. Her obsession with isolating April and controlling the people around her continues to grow — leaving fans to wonder just how far she’ll go to keep her lies intact.

The Kings Move In — And Trouble Follows

In another part of the village, the King family faces upheaval of their own. A flood has forced them to move into Laurel Thomas’s (Charlotte Bellamy) home at Mulberry Cottage. What starts as a temporary arrangement quickly turns into a ticking time bomb.

Laurel’s household is already stretched to the limit, and tensions are set to rise as the Kings bring their drama and chaos into her peaceful home. As upcoming spoilers hint, the week ahead will bring explosive confrontations and devastating revelations that could shake both families to their core.

Tonight’s Episode: A Must-Watch Emotional Storm

Tonight’s Emmerdale episode promises tears, tension, and heartbreak as Charity faces her future. Will she listen to Chas’s advice and reconsider her drastic plan, or will her pain push her to make a decision she can never undo?

And as Celia’s web of manipulation tightens, could April’s safety — both emotional and physical — be at risk? Meanwhile, Lewis’s unexpected connection with Vinnie could either heal wounds or open new ones, and the King family’s move could spark even more conflict before the week is through.
