Corriedale is almost here (Credit: ITV) Huge baby swap theory for Shona and Charity in Corriedale Writing on a Reddit thread, one fan suggested: “Here’s my prediction: Sarah and Jacob both die, Shona’s baby isn’t going to make it, so Charity decides to swap her (ie, Sarah and Jacob’s) baby with Shona’s without Shona seeing. Somehow the baby will have some rare disease only Ross has and the truth will be exposed.” Others pointed out the tumour Shona’s baby has, but fans are sure the soap would find a way to explain it away. Over on X, others also mooting the idea: “Shona and Charity baby swap,” said one. “Honestly if they do a Corrie/Emmerdale baby swap storyline through this crossover and reveal it in like 10 years, I’ll be impressed,” shared another. Another referenced a similar storyline from two Amerian soaps: “So I think one of these two high risk pregnancies will end and the baby will go with the other one. My money is on Charity losing her baby and raising Shona‘s as her own. That is what they did on All My Children and One Life to Live.” “I think Shona and Charity will both give birth, but their babies will get mixed up and neither will ever know,” said a fourth.
