Emmerdale fans are buzzing with speculation that an iconic character could be making a return following a dramatic baby bombshell.
During the Wednesday, March 5 episode of the long-running ITV soap,
Jacob Gallagher (played by Joe-Warren Plant) faced a challenging day as he struggled to cope with the upcoming funeral of his mother, Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi).
Despite warnings from those around him, Jacob insisted on returning to his hospital placement.
However, things took a turn for the worse when he panicked during a medical emergency and was subsequently dismissed from the program.
Reeling from the setback and feeling like his future was slipping away, Jacob turned to alcohol, spending time drinking with a friend at HOP before deciding to host a house party.
Meanwhile, Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) was desperate to get in touch with Jacob, but he ignored her calls. Concerned, she arrived at the house only to find the party in full swing. She attempted to put an end to the gathering, but Jacob refused to listen and told her to leave. What he didn’t realize was that Sarah had an urgent reason for wanting to talk—she suspected she was pregnant.
Later in the week, Sarah takes a pregnancy test and is stunned when it comes back positive. Wanting to break the news to Jacob, she tries to speak with him after Leyla’s funeral. However, still overwhelmed with grief and frustration, Jacob pushes her away. Left with no choice, Sarah confides in her grandmother, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), instead.
This unexpected twist has led fans to believe that Sarah’s mother, Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), could be making a dramatic return to the village. Viewers took to social media to share their theories, with one fan speculating, “I wonder if Debbie is coming back when she finds out Sarah is pregnant?” Another added, “Be brilliant to see her and Joe come face to face again,” referring to Debbie’s former love interest, Joe Tate (Ned Porteous).
Debbie Dingle was last seen in 2021, having moved to Scotland to start a new life. However, given the magnitude of Sarah’s situation, many believe her return is imminent. Could the baby news bring Debbie back to Emmerdale?
As the storyline unfolds, fans will be keeping a close eye on Sarah’s next steps and whether her revelation will indeed lead to a long-anticipated comeback for Debbie. One thing’s for sure—the Dingle family drama is far from over.
