It was thought that Charity had settled down after a series of scandals, but no – she just dropped a shocking “bomb” when she announced… that she was a surrogate mother.

Everyone thought she was helping a relative.

But the truth revealed left the whole village speechless: the baby was hers and Ross Barton’s!

Mackenzie Boyd – the poor husband – was shocked when he heard the news.

He had thought his wife could not get pregnant due to medical complications. “You told me it was impossible. So whose baby is this?” – Mack shouted in the middle of The Woolpack, making the whole pub silent.
Charity did not deny it. She coldly replied: “I did something you wouldn’t dare to do.” Ross, the insider, was also confused: “I don’t know who you are trying to fool.”

That night, Charity was caught at a private clinic at 3am, holding a white envelope with the name “Baby C – confidential”. Mack followed her to the door, only to hear her whisper to the doctor: “No one must know, not even him.”
The villagers began to gossip: what was Charity hiding? Was she really pregnant – or was it just a show to save her broken marriage? An insider revealed: there would soon be a standalone episode for Charity, where the truth would be revealed.
Viewers were divided: some hated it, some loved it. But everyone agreed on one thing – Emmerdale’s “queen of lies” never disappointed viewers.
