I think he\u2019s desperate to find out the answer because it comes with such responsibility, having another child, it\u2019s a lot of pressure on him because he\u2019s not doing so well with work right now and his living situation isn\u2019t ideal as he\u2019s always swapping and changing.\u201d<\/span><\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>He added: \u201c<span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Ross is like a dog with a bone, he\u2019s not going to let this lie and won\u2019t be fobbed off by Charity trying to baffle him with science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\u201cHe knows Charity too well and he saw her face in the pub when everyone was excited and celebrating.\u00a0 Her expression said it all and he clocked it.\u00a0 He knows she either knows or she\u2019s in doubt and he\u2019s going to keep going until he gets the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emmerdale-insider.com\/tag\/emma-atkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emma Atkins<\/a>, who plays Charity, also had her say on the latest development. She said: \u201cI think it is just a jaw dropping moment for those that have followed the storyline. Because it just ups the stakes with everything. <\/span><\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\u201cSarah\u2019s just got this desperate need to be a mum, Charity\u2019s so desperate to please Sarah in that, she feels her vocation is being this vessel to carry this child. There\u2019s so much at stake for them and the audience finding this out, is just that amazing moment. It\u2019s a good soap moment, a gift.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Emma added: \u201c<span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">There are just so many layers to this story. So Charity had thought she had closed the door on having another child and that prospect killed Mackenzie in many ways \u2013 she was aware of that so Charity now holds all that guilt. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\u201cShe\u2019s stuck in this hellhole of what do I do next and who do I turn to and it\u2019s cataclysmic holding in that kind of secret.

Kammy then asked belle if she'd like to join him for some pizza. Although apprehensive at first, she changed her mind and said yet.<\/p>\n<p>But as they laughed and chatted over pizza, Kammy soon put his foot in it. While mocking Sarah for her unusual eating habits, Kammy joked that Belle was mental and a \"fruit loop\" before asking if she had forgotten her medication.<\/p>\n<p>The comment was a bit too close to home for Belle and she legged it from The Hide. Lydia later comforted her as Belle expressed her belief that she could never have a boyfriend again.<\/p>\n<h2>Gabby was suspicious about Vinny's bruises<\/h2>\n<p>Having received a beating from Mike, Vinny continued to struggle with his injuries. When Gabby tried to hug him and Vinny winced, she demanded to see his body.<\/p>\n<p>Gabby was shocked by what she saw, but Vinny didn't tell her the truth. Instead he said things had gone a bit far with pal Kammy. This of course led to Gabby seeking Kammy out and shouting at him for beating Vinny black and blue.<\/p>\n<p>A confused Kammy later spoke to Vinny. He told Vinny to tell him what was going on as maybe he'd be able to help. When Vinny refused to open up, Kammy declared that their friendship was over.<\/p>\n<h2>April agreed to deliver some drugs<\/h2>\n<p>Dylan told April the truth about Ray. April wasn\u2019t happy about him being involved in anything dodgy. But Dylan insisted the next job was a really simple one, before asking if she could be the one to do it.<\/p>\n<p>While April was reluctant, Dylan insisted that Ray is a good man and just wanted to help them. Ray soon arrived and had a go at convincing April to do the drug job. He explained that Dylan has a history with drugs, whereas no one would suspect her.<\/p>\n<p>April agreed to do it, but insisted that Dylan had to say no to Ray from now on.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"7 exciting Emmerdale spoilers for next week (Aug 18th-22nd)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"
