Matty Barton News Share By Rebecca Sayers 29th January 2025 By Rebecca Sayers 29th January 2025 According to Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Amy decides that she and Matty should adopt a child together. And fans think they know the reason Matty doesn’t seem too keen. Last April, Matty and Amy finally tied the knot. And since then, the couple have been sailing by (minus a few hiccups). But when Amy decides they should take things to the next level, Matty doesn’t react the way she hoped. Matty refuses to let the conversation last that long, and makes Amy feel guilty for even suggesting it. But a new fan theory suggests there might be a reason for his reaction. Amy realises she wants to adopt in Emmerdale spoilers (Credit: ITV) Matty doesn’t react well to adoption hopes in Emmerdale spoilers Family has always been a big thing to the Bartons. So Matty’s lack of interest in adopting is quite surprising. Years ago, before Matty transitioned, he was known as ‘Hannah Barton.’ ‘Hannah’ was last seen on our screens way back in 2012. Off-screen, ‘Hannah’ transitioned into Matty, before his first appearance in 2018. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers But a new fan theory suggests when Matty was still legally ‘Hannah’, he may have actually had a child. The fan shared their theory on X. They wrote: ‘Calling it now. What’s the betting that Matty doesn’t want to adopt because he already had a secret kid when he was ‘Hannah.’ He could have put the kid up for adoption when he was in London.” At some point during living in London, ‘Hannah’ made the decision to transition to Matty. But before that, ‘Hannah’ would have had enough time in London to have a child. Matty doesn’t react the way she hoped (Credit: ITV) Could Matty have a secret child? And in Soap Land nothing is out of the realm of possibility. So maybe Matty is afraid of old feelings creeping up on him? His time living in London isn’t something the show has explored much, other than the transition he made. So perhaps we’re about to get a deeper insight to what happened before he came back to the village. If it is the case that Matty has a child, that would mean his kid would be over the age of 7. Or could even be a teenager by now. So if he does have a secret child, why does he not tell Amy? And what will happen if it comes out? But if this isn’t the reason he doesn’t want to adopt – what actually is? Either way, it looks like Matty has some explaining to do.
