Emmerdale fan theory predicts huge twist in Sarah’s baby storyline

Will Sarah ever meet her little one?

Emmerdale fans are convinced there will be more twists and turns in the Sarah baby storyline. And quite a lot of it is a bit tragic…

For a while Sarah Sugden has been absolutely desperate to be a mum. But things keep preventing that from happening. First, she had to have an emergency hysterectomy and then no surrogacy agencies would take her on because of her illness.

Finally, Charity Dingle realised the easiest way to help was to be the surrogate herself. However, after a fall, Charity started bleeding. And when she done a pregnancy test – the results were negative. Now, Emmerdale fans believe Charity will end up with Sarah’s baby – but she won’t be the one to carry it.

Charity to adopt Sarah’s baby after a shock death?

With Sarah’s illness being mentioned a lot more, there have been many fears that she will die before the baby is born. But in another twist, Emmerdale fans think Charity and Mack will adopt and raise the baby together – after Vanessa carries it. Talk about messy!

Vanessa Woodfield has been a huge part of this storyline, and has always been there for Sarah. While it may have just been a way to bring Vanity back together – after THAT shock kiss. But some remain convinced it will be Vanessa who carries the baby.

Taking to X, one fan penned the theory. They wrote: “It would be quite something if Vanessa carries the baby, Sarah dies before it’s born and Mack and Charity end up adopting it!”

It would be a crazy way to merge every aspect of the storyline together. It would be absolute chaos – but that’s nothing new for soaps!

Another fan responded to theory joking: “You should write the scripts.” So it seems like Emmerdale fans aren’t opposed to the idea.

Spoilers show Charity is pregnant!

However, it may end up being just a theory, as Emmerdale spoilers for next week have confirmed that Charity is in fact pregnant.

After a whole lot of back and forth and worry, it seems Sarah could be getting her baby once and for all.

Of course, it’s still early days and in soaps anything could happen to prevent it. And with Emmerdale fans already assuming Charity is actually pregnant with her and Mack’s baby, is Sarah in for even more heartbreak?

And if so, would Vanessa step up for her?
