And soaps have the platform to raise awareness for these types of topics. And while it hasn\u2019t exactly followed a realistic structure from the start, it was still able to showcase that having a baby through IVF is accessible and possible.<\/p>\n<p>However, the latest Emmerdale twist this week saw it revealed that Ross and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emmerdale-insider.com\/tag\/charity-dingle\">Charity<\/a> had slept together the night everyone was hoping she had hooked up with Vanessa. While she probably would have been pregnant by that point already, Ross is worried the baby might be his. And now Emmerdale fans are annoyed that a \u2018Who\u2019s the daddy\u2019 plot has taken over the storyline.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44892\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44892\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44892\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-1024x783.jpg\" alt=\"Charity and Ross in Emmerdale\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-1300x994.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-1536x1175.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-2048x1566.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-180x138.jpg 180w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-96x73.jpg 96w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-512x392.jpg 512w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2025\/08\/EMBARGO_EMM_CHARITY_ROSS_06-192x147.jpg 192w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44892\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angry Ross puts the pressure on Charity (Credit: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:min-h-[300px]\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"ad-slot1\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Emmerdale IVF storyline<\/h2>\n<p>Sarah Sugden has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emmerdale-insider.com\/tag\/sarah-wants-a-baby-in-emmerdale\">desperate to be a mum<\/a> for a very long time.

They didn\u2019t even bother to do the most basic research. I\u2019m hoping it will turn out Charity just isn\u2019t knowledgable and it is confirmed to be Sarah\u2019s baby.

It\u2019s as if they are living in an alternate universe in which weeks pass between scenes. I do hope the baby is Sarah\u2019s though.
