And that if it is ill, they may need to step up to help.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote: \u201cCharity will give birth and the baby will inevitable have to stay in the hospital with a health issue. It could be something that the biological parents need to help with. Charity could lose her cool and act very maternal towards the baby. And I could see Ross starting to show up at the hospital wanting visits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMack could then catch them having a moment at the baby\u2019s incubator and realise the truth.

But Emmerdale does love to do a shocking reveal. And if Charity makes it through the birth thinking she has succeeded, sending everything crashing immediately after sounds quite like Emmerdale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a
