Next week on Emmerdale, viewers are in for a dramatic and emotional twist as Charity Dingle delivers a life-changing offer that leaves her family reeling — she wants to be her granddaughter Sarah Sugden’s surrogate.

The heartfelt gesture comes after a devastating setback for Sarah, who has been struggling to accept that she may never be able to have children following a hysterectomy. Her dreams of motherhood seem out of reach, and after multiple failed attempts to explore surrogacy, hope is quickly running out.

“Sarah’s devastated,” a show insider revealed. “She’s starting to believe she’ll never be a mum. When her grandma Charity steps in with this offer, it’s completely unexpected — and overwhelming.”

The bold decision is sparked after a surrogate Cain had arranged to meet at The Woolpack fails to show up. Ryan Stocks later confirms their worst fears: they’ve been scammed. The crushing disappointment pushes Charity to take matters into her own hands.

Before making her surprise announcement, Charity first approaches Sarah’s aunt Victoria with the idea of carrying the baby. But Victoria is blindsided by the proposal and feels overwhelmed by the pressure. Despite her reluctance, Charity doesn’t back down — instead, she emotionally guilt-trips Victoria, insisting Sarah has no other chance at motherhood. While Victoria wants the best for her niece, she ultimately can’t commit to such a big ask.

Word of Charity’s pushy tactics reaches Victoria’s brother Robert, who’s horrified by what he hears. Meanwhile, Cain Dingle is fuming over the surrogate scam, and Moira fears his determination to fix Sarah’s life may be a way of coping with his own grief after losing son Nate.

With every path leading to a dead end, a heartbroken Sarah starts to accept that her future won’t include motherhood. But in a dramatic moment of emotion and desperation, Charity blurts out that she will carry the baby herself.

The bombshell stuns Cain, who is deeply concerned — especially when Charity admits she wants to keep it a secret from her husband, Mackenzie Boyd.

“Cain and Sarah both urge her to tell Mack,” the source says, “but Charity refuses. She knows Mack wants children with her, but she’s always said no. If she carries a baby for Sarah, it could destroy her relationship — proving to Mack that it’s not about pregnancy, but about not wanting a child with him.”

As tensions rise and secrets threaten to explode, fans are left wondering: will Charity go through with her selfless plan to give Sarah the family she’s always dreamed of? And if she does, how will it affect her marriage, her health, and her place within the Dingle family?

One thing is certain — Emmerdale is about to deliver one of its most emotional and controversial storylines yet. Don’t miss a moment.
