But spoilers for next week show that a twist is coming — and it could bring the baby news she never expected. Here’s what we know so far… Charity offered to make Sarah’s motherhood dream a reality (Credit: ITV) Charity’s surrogacy journey so far After Sarah Sugden had an emergency hysterectomy during cancer surgery, her dreams of becoming a mum were destroyed. However grandad Cain Dingle suggested surrogacy and the family went hell for leather to make it happen. Unfortunately, due to Sarah’s Fanconi Anaemia it means her life is limited, so no professional agency would touch her. Charity approached Victoria Sugden, Sarah’s aunt, to carry the baby. But having gone through her first pregnancy after being raped, Vic felt she couldn’t do it again in such circumstances. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers As Sarah was ready to throw in the towel, Charity offered to do it instead. Obviously the risks were huge, given Charity’s age and previous ectopic pregnancy. But she miraculously passed all the tests, and despite it threatening her marriage to Mackenzie Boyd, Charity went through with the implantation. Now everyone is waiting patiently and hopefully (some more hopeful than others: we’re looking at you, Mack) to see if it has taken. Charity told Vanessa her worries (Credit: ITV) What happened in Emmerdale tonight and why does Charity think the treatment has failed? After taking a fall on Tuesday night (August 5) Charity was worried, but didn’t confess to Sarah. On Wednesday, Charity was unable to sleep and wanted everyone to stop fussing. She distracted Sarah and Jacob with an engagement party idea. The bash, organised at the last minute and thrown just after lunch, was a bit lacklustre. But it was clear something was going on with Charity. She was quiet and then she rushed off to the bathroom. Vanessa sensed something wasn’t right (which is more than Mack did!) and went after her. Charity confessed she was bleeding and Vanessa gave her a big hug. When Mackenzie did find out, he wanted her to tell Sarah, but Charity refused. Instead she went home to be alone. Sarah however, followed her and Charity admitted she had been bleeding: “I don’t think it’s taken,” she cried. Sarah protested it might still be all right, but Charity told her: “I know my own body. I’m so sorry.” Sarah and Jacob celebrate the news they’re going to be parents (Credit: ITV) Spoiler twist: Baby joy ahead for Charity and Sarah in Emmerdale All is not lost, however, because spoilers for next week confirm Charity is pregnant. With Charity convinced she’s not carrying a baby, she and Mack sit down to discuss where they go from here. Charity is surprised when Mack gives her his blessing to try again. Cain is also keen to help and offers to pay for another round of private treatment using a secret stash of cash Moira doesn’t know about. Er, let’s hope she doesn’t find out eh as she might be a tad annoyed he didn’t use it to pay her fines! In the end Cain doesn’t need to part with any money because the results from the clinic confirm that Charity is pregnant. The positive news comes as a complete shock for Charity and Mack and Sarah and Jacob. Sarah wants to tell everyone the news and makes a big baby announcement in the middle of The Woolpack. But does Charity really want the whole village knowing she’s expecting? Is the baby going to be Mack’s? (Credit: ITV) What fans are saying However, viewers are sure there’s a twist in the tale ahead… “So next week Charity is pregnant but she’s hiding something I bet it’s Mack baby and she’s going to lie to him and say it’s Sarah’s and Jacob’s,” mused one on X. Another questioned: “Charity’s already pregnant!!! Is it Sarah and Jacob’s embryo, or what?” “Why do I have the feeling Charity is going to get pregnant but not with Sarah and Jacob’s baby but with Mack’s?” added one more. A fourth said: “Charity is actually going to be pregnant with Mack’s child isn’t she??” What else happened in Emmerdale tonight, Wednesday August 6 Heartbreak for Charity and Sarah in Emmerdale tonight was also accompanied by heartbreak for Steph and a confession from Vinny. Ross really messed up in Emmerdale tonight Caleb gave Ross the talk about not messing it up with Steph and looking after her. Ross promised he cared about her too much to hurt her. But later, Ruby and Lewis settled down to lunch with none other than Manpreet - so it looked like Ross was about to break him promise sooner rather than later. Lewis offered to matchmake Manpreet, given his good luck with Steph and Ross. But then Manpreet spilled the beans about her and Ross - just as (conveniently!) Ross and Steph walked in. Steph was furious and said there was no way she could trust Ross after he lied. He begged for another chance, but Caleb and Ruby closed ranks and told him to leave. Vinny confessed Vinny was helping Aaron build flat pack furniture, which he was struggling with! But Aaron could see Vinny was not enthusiastic about his wedding planning. Aaron opened up to Vinny about feeling guilty over Robert lashing out - he confessed he had given Robert hope by kissing him on his wedding day. Vinny's reaction told Aaron he was also hiding something. Vinny confessed he had tried to kiss someone else - but not that it was another man. Aaron advised him if he was really serious about Gabby and sure she was the one, he needed to forget the kiss and keep quiet. But Vinny clearly felt uncomfortable with that... Dylan felt awful in Emmerdale tonight Moira approached Dylan and made him - and Marlon and April - feel awful as she commended him for sticking with the rehab. Later, Marlon spotted April and Dylan holding hands and realised they were together. Will he react like a grown-up to this turn of events? Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale?
