The truth came out many months after Charity had served time in prison.<\/p>\n<p>On his return, Joe posed as Tom Waterhouse. He targeted Charity's daughter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/09\/30\/emmerdale-who-debbie-dingle-look-at-her-turbulent-life-dales\/\">Debbie Dingle<\/a> and started a relationship with her.
