  • Sarah Sugden’s younger years: The war between the Sugdens and the Dingles

    Sarah Sugden’s younger years: The war between the Sugdens and the Dingles

    Sarah Sugden is the troublesome, troubled teenage daughter of Debbie Dingle and Andy Sugden. She’s a big sister to her ‘saviour sibling’ Jack – who lives in Scotland with their mum – and has a lot of uncles: Charity’s sons Noah, Moses and Ryan and Cain’s son’s Nate, Isaac and Kyle.

    Sarah’s also the adopted cousin of Victoria’s son, Harry.

    So when it comes to being at the heart of Emmerdale, Sarah‘s right in the thick of both the Sugden and Dingle dynasties!

    Emmerdale: Sarah Sugden’s arrival

    Sarah arrived unexpectedly! Her mum – Debbie Dingle – was just 15 years old and had hidden her pregnancy from everyone.

    She had fallen pregnant after a brief romance with older teenager Andy Sugden, but hadn’t told him either!

    Debbie gave birth in a barn and planned to abandon her baby at the hospital.

    But of course, the shocking arrival didn’t stay secret for long! Daz Tittensor ran for help and found Emily Kirk – Debbie’s foster mother.

    Emily helped deliver the tot and Debbie named her daughter Sarah Charity – after her two grandmothers. Emily had been about to leave Emmerdale after discovering her husband Paddy had cheated. But when Debbie had the baby, she decided to stay in the village after all, and help Debbie care for Sarah.

    And that’s when things started to go wrong!

    Hard decisions

    With Debbie struggling to cope, she turned to foster mother Emily Kirk for support.

    Emily was glad to help out but Cain was annoyed and accused her of interfering, and Emily decided enough was enough – she was leaving the village.

    When Debbie found out Emily was going, she begged her to take baby Sarah with her.

    Emily agreed and left the village with Sarah and though Cain tried to track her down, he couldn’t.

    Returning to Emmerdale

    A year later Emily and Sarah came back to Emmerdale, and Emily gave the tot to her dad, Andy.

    Emily was shunned by the village, who called her a child-snatcher, and she even tried to end her own life.

    Debbie agreed that Andy could keep Sarah, as long as she wasn’t part of her daughter’s life. Emily moved away and things settled down.

    Andy, Jo and Debbie

    By now Sarah was a toddler and Andy was engaged to Jo Stiles. Debbie told the couple she’d be happy for Jo to adopt little Sarah. But when it came to signing the papers, Debbie couldn’t do it!

    When Andy went to prison, Jo let Debbie spend time with Sarah. When Andy found out, he was FUMING and ended up hitting Jo – starting months of abuse.

    Jo confided in Debbie, Andy moved out, and Jo left Emmerdale.

    More arguments!

    The Dingles tried to persuade Debbie to get custody of her daughter, but Debbie was worried about the part she’d played in the murder of policeman Shane Doyle, and refused.

    Andy kept custody of Sarah when Debbie was sent to jail. When she came home she wanted to see her daughter, but Andy refused and even tried to run off to Spain. Debbie stopped him and she eventually won full custody of Sarah after Jo made a statement about Andy’s violence towards her.

    Since then, Sarah’s lived first with Debbie, and now with grandmother Charity.

  • Emmerdale tonight: Poor Piper’s dead and Sarah’s still not had a ‘proper’ Dingle experience

    Emmerdale tonight: Poor Piper’s dead and Sarah’s still not had a ‘proper’ Dingle experience

    Emmerdale tonight saw the aftermath of Piper’s road ‘accident’ take place. Emmerdale really decided to break all of our hearts and kill off the little pup. We’re never going to forgive them for this one!

    Elsewhere, Sarah was excited to break the law as Charity took her joyriding. However, she soon realised that she’d never committed any sort of crime after all.

    Here’s a recap of everything that happened in Emmerdale on Monday August, 19th.

    One of the most heartbreaking soap deaths ever – RIP Piper

    After purposely running Piper over with Belle’s retro Mini, Tom tried to act like a hero tonight. He relished in telling Belle and Lydia that he’d spent all night trying to save the little pup’s life.

    However, he then confessed that it would be the kindest thing for Piper to be put down due to the extent of her injuries (sob!) We were hoping for some miracle by this point. Surely Emmerdale wouldn’t be so cruel as to kill off our favourite soap pet like… ever?!

    We were wrong though, as Belle entered the consultation room at the vets and said one last goodbye to her forever friend. With Belle unable to watch Piper take her last breath, Tom was the one to stay with Piper at the very end.

    Tom then told Belle that Piper had passed away. Off he then went to take the rest of the day off to process her passing (let’s hope the image of Piper’s adorable little face haunts him until the day he dies!)

    By the end of the ep, Belle gave Tom a piece of her mind after accusing him of killing Piper. She told him that he made her ‘skin crawl’ (we can only agree Belle!) He then told her that she’d regret saying that she doesn’t love him anymore…

    Is it possible for Tom to stoop any lower? We’ve already been traumatised enough by Piper’s death, we can’t take anything else!

    Sarah’s yet to break the law

    Sarah’s been feeling down lately. She’s complained about missing out on doing all of the things others her age do. She especially felt upset when she’d had a few alcoholic drinks at Mandy and Paddy’s wedding, only to be told off by Charity for drinking whilst on medication.

    Hoping to give Sarah a ‘proper’ Dingle experience, Charity surprised her by taking her out joyriding in a fancy car tonight. Sarah was thrilled to be taking the wheels for a spin. She felt like a right little rebel.

    Once they returned back to the village, Sarah’s inner criminal continued to make an appearance. She suggested torching the car so that they wouldn’t be caught for the theft (Sarah really went from 0 to 100 super fast, right?)

    There was one slight problem with this though… the car wasn’t actually stolen. Yes, Sarah found out that she was still on the right side of the law when Vinny put his foot in it and revealed the car to be borrowed off his mate. Awks! We’ve never seen someone so upset about not breaking the law before…

    Also in Emmerdale tonight…

    Jai and Laurel were still bickering like teenagers, unable to remain civil with each other whilst at work in The Hide (anyone else fed up of their same repetitive arguments yet?) Jai then dropped the bombshell that he was selling his shares of The Hide to the highest bidder! We could practically see the cogs whirring in Laurel and Gabby’s minds after this one as Laurel offered to buy Jai’s shares.

    Gabby seemed to be doing hardly any work tonight (no change there) as she flirted with one of the customers at The Hide… in front of Vinny. Vinny’s jealousy was obvious as he quizzed Gabby on ‘Handsome Chris.’ Chill Vinny, this whole thing with Gabby’s only meant to be a bit of ‘fun,’ right?

    5 Emmerdale spoilers for tonight including Laurel’s business proposal and Charity leads Sarah astray

    In Emmerdale spoilers tonight, Laurel announces her plan to buy Jai’s share of The Hide. Gabby is in favour of the idea, but will her vengeful ex agree to the deal?

    Elsewhere, Charity gives Sarah an initiation into the world of dodgy Dingle dealings with a joyride in a stolen car. And Vinny gets ribbed about his lack of sexual experience.

    It’s all going on in Emmerdale on Monday August 19.

    Emmerdale spoilers tonight: Laurel is looking to the future

    1. Laurel wants to move forward

    Laurel is trying to find her feet again in the aftermath of her messy split from Jai. She decided to call time on their marriage after discovering Jai’s appalling treatment towards Amit and Suni.

    But since Laurel mentioned the word divorce, Jai has been doing all he can to make her suffer. He took Archie away and has been verbally abusing Laurel in front of customers at The Hide.

    Laurel’s had enough and needs to find a way to get Jai off her case.

    2. Laurel has a proposition for Gabby

    Laurel comes to stepdaughter Gabby with a proposition. Jai wants to sell his shares in The Hide, and she wants to buy them.

    Gabby, who’s in no way a fan of Jai, reckons it’s a brilliant idea. She urges Laurel to go for it and take back control from her snaky spouse.

    Laurel knows Jai just won’t calmly agree to the transaction, so her only option is to go behind his back. Playing Jai at his own game. We like!

    3. Charity pulls Sarah into her world of crime

    Sarah’s recent reckless behaviour has left Charity reeling. Last week, she discovered her granddaughter had been drinking while taking her medication.

    Sarah has a limited life expectancy after undergoing a heart transplant, and Charity was furious she’d put herself in such danger.

    However, it seems Sarah is determined to carry on down a rebellious path. So Charity decides it’s time to teach her a thing or two.

    4. Sarah is ready to break the law

    Charity reckons it’s time Sarah experienced what being a true Dingle is all about. As viewers will know, the iconic clan are renowned for their illegal antics. Charity also has a criminal record as long as her arm.

    Now it seems she wants to bring Sarah into her world. Hurrying the young lass out of the house, Charity promises her an experience she’ll never forget.

    Sarah is shocked, then excited, to find Charity has stolen a car and wants them to go joyriding. But is everything as it seems? Is this all part of Charity’s bigger plan to reign Sarah in?

    Poor Vinny finds himself in Charity’s firing line.

    The lad recently lost his virginity to girlfriend Gabby. It was a massive deal for Vinny to take the next step in his relationship.

    But Charity thinks Gabby is going to eat Vinny alive. She makes fun of his inexperience and points out Gabby has way more notches on her bedpost.

    Charity ends up taking things too far and feels terrible for being unkind. Will she apologise to Vinny?

  • Why can’t Sarah Sugden drink? Her medical history explained

    Why can’t Sarah Sugden drink? Her medical history explained

    Sarah Sugden in Emmerdale hasn’t had an easy life since her birth on the soap opera in 2005. Stricken with all manner of health issues since childhood, poor Sarah has suffered a rare form of anemia, throat cancer and heart failure.

    We can’t blame the youngster for wanting to cut loose and party a little, then – and tonight’s episode sees grandmother Charity furious when she learns that Sarah has been drinking.

    But what effect will booze have on Sarah’s health?

    Read on for a look at the troubled life and times of Sarah Sugden.

    Who are the parents of Sarah Sugden in Emmerdale?

    Sarah Sugden is the daughter of Debbie Dingle and Andy Sugden. After Debbie discovered that she had fallen pregnant aged only fifteen, she tried to hide the news and leave the baby at the hospital at birth.

    However, her plans fell apart when she wound up giving birth in a shed – naming the child Sarah Charity after her grandparents, uh, Sarah and Charity.

    Fanconi anemia

    In 2011, Sarah sparked worry in her family when they noticed that she was covered in bruises. Debbie took Sarah to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a rare form of Fanconi anemia.

    There doctors revealed that Sarah would need a bone marrow transplant to save her life. In spite of Debbie and Andy’s best efforts, neither could find a donor among their family – and it was decided that they would have a ‘saviour sibling’ to save her life.

    In October 2012, Debbie gave birth to Sarah’s brother Jack  – and just in the nick of time too, as Sarah was now developing leukaemia. After the following bone marrow operation, Sarah was released from hospital where she reunited with her family at home.

    Emmerdale: Sarah diagnosed with throat cancer

    In 2017, Sarah returned to the village from France, where she had been living with her mum and brother. During this time, she had contracted throat cancer – which required an expensive treatment not available via the NHS.

    Her family set up a crowdfunding page for Sarah, which received an anonymous donation of £20,000. Sarah learned that this had actually come from Faith Dingle – her long-lost great-grandmother.

    Faith accompanied Sarah to Prague where she underwent treatment for the cancer – as Debbie was on bail at the time, and unable to leave the country.

    Once returned, she underwent an operation in England which was also successful.

    Heart failure

    In June 2018, Sarah collapsed after lashing out at her mother for her part in the acid attack upon Ross Barton. After being caught joy-riding and then grassing her mother up to the police for the acid attack, Sarah abruptly collapsed, and was taken to hospital.

    There, doctors revealed that she was suffering from heart failure as a rare side-effect of the chemotherapy. She was informed that she would need a heart transplant, and her condition worsened when she picked up a virus while at the hospital.

    By October, a suitable donor had been found for Sarah’s heart transplant. In spite of complications, the doctors managed to stabilise Sarah’s new heart, and she returned home to her family in December.

    Debbie leaves Sarah in Emmerdale

    The next year, Sarah learned that her mother planned to leave the village from Scotland, where she had inherited a garage from Lisa Dingle.

    Sarah, however, opted to stay, with Charity Dingle and her then-fiancée Vanessa Woodfield moving into Jacobs Fold to look after her.

    Danny Harrington

    Following her mother’s exit, Sarah grew more rebellious and began acting out – entering into a relationship with the dangerous Danny Harrington.

    Danny, it quickly became clear, was a bad influence on Sarah. He plied her with pills and alcohol in spite of her precarious health.

    This led to her cousin Noah suffering an overdose when he stole the pills she had been holding. Although Noah recovered, Danny continued to apply pressure – attempting to get her to sell drugs on his behalf.

    Feeling betrayed, Sarah planted the drugs in Danny’s pocket and reported him to the police. She soon realised how stupid she had been and started to take her decision more seriously.

    Fed-up Sarah Sugden in Emmerdale

    Sarah struggled when Faith died in 2022. She had always thought her great-gran would be there for her in her final days, knowing she had a life-limiting condition.

    Recently, it’s become clear Sarah’s at a loss over what to do with her life. She has become an apprentice mechanic, working for grandad Cain Dingle. But overall, it’s clear she feels there’s no fun for her.

    At Mandy and Paddy’s wedding she tried to sneak a few drinks. But Charity caught her and told her no more than one on her medication.

    On Friday August 16 she will get blind drunk, leaving Charity despairing. But then she comes up with a plan to give Sarah a very Dingle day out. Just what does that entail? And will it be more dangerous than drinking on her meds?!

    Emmerdale tonight: Aaron is pleased for Vinny

    1. Vinny shares a moment with Aaron

    Following his encounter with Gabby, Vinny has a chat with former brother-in-law Aaron in Emmerdale tonight.

    Gabby and Vinny had started a romance earlier this year, but he had backed away given his lack of experience in the bedroom department. However on Thursday (August 15) he told Gabby he was finally ready to move things forward and they shared a kiss. Aw!

    The next day, while enjoying a beer at the Woolpack, Aaron realises what’s going on between Vinny and Gabby. As a result, he gives the couple his blessing.

    It’s a huge relief for Vinny, who feared what Aaron would make of him moving on from Liv. But Aaron refuses to dwell on the past and encourages Vinny to seize his chance of happiness.

    Could this be the start of something special for Gabby and Vinny?

    2. Charity is furious

    Elsewhere in tonight’s Emmerdale, Charity is not happy when she discovers Sarah has been drinking while taking her medication. She and Mack find Sarah drunk in a car.

    The teen has dealt with a number of health issues over the years after being diagnosed with Fanconi Anaemia in 2011. Following a heart transplant, Sarah knows she has a limited life expectancy, so why is she doing this to herself? Has she had enough of village life and looking for an outlet? Or has bad news pushed her over the edge?

    Will Sarah be OK? And what will Charity do next?

    What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Laurel had a heart attack, Tom isolated Belle further

    In Emmerdale tonight (Wednesday July 3) Laurel collapsed with a suspected heart attack, sending Jai into a spin. Meanwhile, Tom worked to get Belle further away from her family than ever before.

    Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.

    Laurel collapsed after arguing with Jai

    Jai and Laurel were still at loggerheads, but she was also struggling with twinges. Claiming it to be indigestion, Laurel dismissed it and agreed to meet Gabby in the Woolpack for lunch.

    She then insisted Jai had to tell Suni the truth today – or she would. Jai went to see Suni and a half-naked Nicky answered the door. Once we got out of our daze over Lewis Cope’s gym-honed bod, we realised Jai was stuttering and stumbling over not actually wanting to see Suni after all. He was then completely thrown by Nicky’s comment that he was very important to Suni.

    Jai found Laurel in the church and told her he couldn’t tell Suni. He begged her not to make him do it. But Laurel wasn’t having it and let rip.

    When Jai took a swipe at Ashley, Laurel had had enough and told him he was a “sad, horrible, weak little man,” and ordered him to leave.

    But after he went she struggled to breathe and collapsed to the floor. Fortunately Gabby located her in the church and immediately called an ambulance.

    Over at The Hide, Jai was trying to talk to Suni, but Gabby’s persistent calls distracted him. When he eventually answered and found out what had happened, he rushed off – without having told Suni anything.

    Laurel was being wheeled into an ambulance when Jai arrived and Manpreet explained they thought she’d had a heart attack. Suni reassured Jai Laurel was going to be okay, but he wasn’t so sure…

    Tom isolated Belle in Emmerdale tonight

    Also in Wednesday’s episode Tom tried to play the nice guy encouraging Belle to make amends with Charity. Charity later saw Belle and Piper out for a walk and told her: “You’ll always be our family.” Belle stormed off again, but Charity insisted she wasn’t going anywhere and would always be there if she wanted to talk.

    Meanwhile, Tom was having a Zoom job interview where he was told the job was “extremely isolated”. He insisted his wife was really keen to move somewhere so out of the way as she wanted the quiet life.

    He then told Belle they should go away on holiday and suggested Wales. He showed her a cottage miles away from anywhere and she agreed it would be “perfect”.

    Perfect for him to gain total control, you mean Belle? Sure. Perfect.

    Sarah flirted with Josh

    At the garage Sarah was fixing Josh’s car and he got a little bit friendly. Turns out she quite likes the bad boy as she fluttered her eyelashes, but Moira broke the moment when she sent Josh on his way.

    However, Josh later returned and wanted to treat her to lunch. Sarah agreed, but as they were leaving Moira and Cain arrived. Cain told him to push off.

    Sarah told him he was embarrassing, she then laid into Cain and Moira and defended Josh. She insisted Matty “had the knife and stabbed Samson” so it wasn’t Josh’s fault. Cain did not look happy.

    Charles and Caleb bonded in Emmerdale tonight

    Upset Charles got a phone call telling him the police were dropping the investigation into Ethan’s hit and run. He told Manpreet he was going to talk to a lawyer before storming out in a state.

    Caleb was listening in on what is clearly good news for him and Ruby. So he did the logical thing and took Ruby to the Woolpack to celebrate being in the clear. She felt very uncomfortable with the idea as she struggled with her guilt.

    Charles was also drinking himself silly in the Woolpack. Ruby couldn’t handle it and left, so Caleb asked Charles to join him. He then took Charles home. Something which Ruby was NOT happy about. Will Caleb regret his latest move?
