Charity Dingle Share By Kerry Barrett Jun 27 2025 By Kerry Barrett Jun 27 2025 Devastated Sarah Sarah really went to town tonight tearing into Charity Dingle’s relationship with her kids in Emmerdale. She accused her shocked gran of being a terrible mother as she lashed out after having an emergency hysterectomy. It’s true that Charity hasn’t always been the best mum, though she’s definitely devoted to her kids. We thought it was time to take a look at all the Dingle offspring. Charity only met Ryan when he was already a grown-up (Credit: ITV) Ryan Stocks’s unexpected arrival Ryan Stocks is the oldest of Charity’s kids, but she didn’t meet him until he was already grown up. Back in 2017, brave Charity came face-to-face with DI Mark Bails – the dodgy policeman who’d abused her as a teen. She reported him for his actions and admitted that she had given birth to a baby boy who’d died shortly after birth. To her shock, Charity discovered that her son hadn’t died after all. He’d been adopted by midwife Irene Stocks. Charity met Ryan and when she found out he had cerebral palsy worried she was to blame. But Charity and Ryan got to know one another and built a relationship. Ryan gave a DNA sample that helped convict Bails, and he’s now a part of the Dingle family. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers Charity met teenage Debbie when she was fostered by Paddy (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock) Charity Dingle’s kids in Emmerdale: Debbie Dingle Having given birth to Ryan when she was 14, Charity started a romance with her cousin Cain and got pregnant again. This time she had a baby girl, who was given up for adoption. In the early 200os, Paddy and his wife Emily began fostering and took in a teenager called Debbie Jones. She turned out to be Charity and Cain’s daughter. After a bumpy start, Debbie got to know her daughter, and so did Cain. Debbie changed her name and became a fully fledged Dingle, embracing everything about her new family. Until she left the village as an adult, going first to Aberdeen and more recently announcing she’d emigrated to Australia! Charity gave birth to Noah in prison (Credit: ITV) Noah Dingle – Charity’s first prison baby One of the nasty things Sarah said to Charity was that she’d given birth to two babies in prison – and Noah was one of them! To be fair, Charity was having a tough time when Noah was born. She’d been banged up for murdering her husband Chris Tate, though she was innocent. He’d actually set her up when he’d found out he was dying anyway – very dark stuff! Anyway, Charity wasn’t sure at first whether Chris was Noah’s dad, but when DNA tests confirmed he was, she took drastic action. Knowing she wouldn’t be able to keep her son with her in jail, she sold him to her former sister-in-law, Zoe Tate. The deal was made on condition that Zoe told the truth about Chris’s suicide. She did as she promised and Charity was released. But Zoe was already raising her own baby Jean, and Chris’s other son Joe, as well as juggling business commitments and her own mental health issues. The court wouldn’t approve her adopting Noah, so Charity took her son back. Ross is Moses’ dad (Credit: ITV) Charity Dingle’s kids in Emmerdale: Moses Dingle Just like his brother Noah, Moses was born when Charity was behind bars. It was the aftermath of her marriage to Declan Macey and she was imprisoned for perverting the course of justice. When Charity went into labour, she handed her son over to Debbie so she could care for him. She wouldn’t, though, reveal who the dad was. When Moses was ill, though, Charity revealed that his dad was Ross Barton – the man Debbie had also had a romance with! Awks. Charity didn’t want another baby (Credit: ITV) Why hasn’t Charity had a baby with Mack? Charity was shocked when she found out she was pregnant with then boyfriend Mackenzie Boyd. But the pair were heartbroken when the pregnancy turned out to be ectopic and Charity was forced to terminate. Mack wanted to try agian, but Charity couldn’t face more sadness. After lots of talking, it seemed the pair were on the same page, but unbeknownst to Charity, Mack had cheated with Chloe Harris. Chloe got pregnant and Mack’s desire to be a dad overwhelmed him. Though he tried to keep it secret, baby Reuben was eventually revealed to be his son. But circumstances meant Chloe eventually left the village and Mack isn’t in contact with his son. Sarah said Charity has been more of a mum to her than Debbie has (Credit: ITV) Charity’s kids: the unofficial ones! As Sarah said before she got nasty, Charity has been more of a mum to her granddaughter Sarah than her actual mum Debbie. Plus when Charity was with Vanessa Woodfield she adopted her son Johnny, so officially she’s also Johnny’s mum. Read more: Who’s leaving Emmerdale?
