The village of Emmerdale is in mourning after a tragic limo crash that claimed the lives of Leyla Harding, Suzy Merton, and Amy Wyatt. Amid the sorrow and chaos, one young couple is about to face a life-changing revelation that couldn’t come at a worse time. Sarah Sugden is dealing with a secret that could change everything. She’s discovered she might be pregnant, and the father is Jacob Gallagher, who is in no state to deal with the news after his mum, Leyla’s death. With Jacob unable to cope with his loss, how will Sarah handle this?
Sarah Struggles
A few weeks after his mum’s tragic death, Jacob is still in shock. He can’t shake the guilt and anger and blames Noah for the accident after Charity swerved the limo to avoid hitting him. Trying to escape his pain, Jacob throws himself back into his work as a trainee doctor, but he’s clearly not coping. During a shift at the hospital, the pressure becomes too much—and Jacob suffers a panic attack. At The Hide, he drinks heavily with his friend Rich, but his behavior worries Belle and Laurel, who fear he’s heading down a dark path. Even Rich notices his friend’s struggle and tries to help, but Jacob refuses to open up.
When Sarah visits him later, she finds Jacob in a terrible state. She tries to reach out, but he rejects her and harshly tells her to stay away. Hurt and confused, Sarah walks away. She’s late, and the unopened pregnancy test in her bag weighs heavily on her mind. Seeing Jacob so lost and broken, she decides not to tell him. The next day, the village gathers to say goodbye at Leyla’s funeral. Meanwhile, Sarah finally takes the pregnancy test and waits for the results.
As expected, she reads the result—it’s positive. She’s pregnant. Shocked and scared, Sarah doesn’t know what to do. She tries to tell Jacob during the funeral, but he’s overwhelmed and walks away before she can say anything. She knows she can’t keep it to herself forever, but how can she break the news when Jacob is barely holding himself together? And how will Jacob react when he finds out he’s about to become a father while still grieving for his mum? Only the upcoming Emmerdale spoilers can reveal the rest.
