Who is the father of Charity's baby? As Ross demands a paternity test everything we know

Ross won't let it go

Ross refused to back down about Charity’s baby in Emmerdale tonight as he demanded proof that he isn’t the father.

Since discovering that Charity Dingle is pregnant as a surrogate for her granddaughter Sarah, Ross has wondered if it’s him and not the IVF that’s responsible for Charity’s pregnancy.

While Charity continues to insist the baby is Sarah’s, how will she deal with Ross’s demand for a paternity test?

Ross demanded evidence in Emmerdale tonight

Charity continued to try and reach out to missing Mack. She left him a voicemail, telling him he couldn’t leave his phone off forever.

Catching the tail end, Ross Barton approached Charity and asked about the reason for Mack’s sudden departure. He believes it to be due to Mack finding out about the two of them, but Charity denied this to be close.

Ross was not having it though and said he keeps coming back to the same conclusion: “It’s my baby, isn’t it?”

Charity insisted Ross was wrong, but he accused her of being too defensive. She tried to convince him that the hospital did tests. But this wasn’t enough for Ross – he wanted to see the evidence.

As Charity said she didn’t have any physical evidence due the tests having been done at the hospital, Ross responded: “Dead convenient, that.”

Ross then demanded a paternity test and insisted he would not be letting this go until he gets one. What will Charity do?

Could Charity be carrying Ross’s baby in Emmerdale?

Charity finds herself at breaking point to realise she now has yet another problem on her hands. Having previously admitted to Vanessa that the baby might not be Sarah’s, she clearly concerned that Ross could be right. 

But it remains to be seen how she deals with the situation. 

However, some fans don’t see how the baby could be Ross’s – as they think it’d be too early to tell. One fan wrote on X: “Surely not when she’d only slept with him the week before finding out and it couldn’t have been that quick?”

“Hang on, so she slept with Ross like two weeks ago, is now pregnant, and he’s asking if the baby is his? That doesn’t make sense,” asked another fan. 

While other fans have their own wild theory, which would see Emmerdale running a similar plot line as Hollyoaks. One fan wrote: “That Baby is Ross’s (or at least one of them if it’s twins because the embryo worked).”

Another viewer added: “Twins. One is hers. The other one is Sarah’s.”
