Emmerdale is still recovering after a devastating limo crash that claimed the lives of Leyla Harding, Suzy Merton, and Amy Wyatt. No one is more affected than Jacob Gallagher, who is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his mum, Leyla. He blames Noah for the accident—and believes that Charity’s swerve to avoid him caused the crash, and this guilt is eating him up.
To cope with his grief, Jacob throws himself into his work as a trainee doctor, but it quickly becomes too much for him. During a shift at the hospital, he suffers a panic attack and reveals just how overwhelmed he is. Later, he tries to numb his pain by drinking heavily at The Hide with his friend Rich. His behaviour worries Belle and Laurel, who fear he’s on a dark path. Even Rich notices something is wrong and tries to help, but Jacob refuses to open up.
While Jacob is grieving, Sarah Sugden is dealing with a huge secret. After spending the night with Jacob, she suspects she might be pregnant. Confused and scared, she buys a pregnancy test but keeps it hidden—she’s not sure how to tell Jacob. When she visits him, hoping to talk, she finds him in a terrible state. He’s distant and angry, pushing her away and telling her to leave him alone. Feeling hurt and confused, Sarah decides not to tell him just yet.
Emmerdale: Will Sarah Be Able to Tell?
As the village gathers for Leyla’s funeral, Sarah nervously waits for the result. When the test turns positive, Sarah is shocked and scared. She knows she can’t keep the secret forever but struggles to find the right moment to tell Jacob, especially as he is overwhelmed by grief. Joe-Warren Plant, who plays Jacob, revealed how his character would react to the news.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other media about the storyline, Joe-Warren explained: “It would shock the system if Jacob finds out. I think if he asked himself if he was ready to be a dad, he’d probably say no. He added, “But with everything that’s going on, it might be the turning point Jacob needs in his life. He likes to see himself as a mature adult, but he’s still not quite there. If a baby was to come about, it might be the kick that Jacob needs to get himself into a better position mentally.”
As Sarah tries to cope with his grief, Emmerdale fans can’t help but wonder how Jacob will deal with this baby bombshell. Can Jacob face fatherhood while mourning his mum, or will the news push him over the edge? Only the upcoming Emmerdale spoilers can reveal the rest.
