Emmerdale<\/a> returned to ITV<\/a> with the latest from the beloved Yorkshire Dales. While Cain Dingle<\/a> (played by Jeff Hordley) faced fierce police questioning over his son Nate’s (Jurell Carter) death, fans predicted a dark storyline ahead for Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill).<\/p>\n

The teenager who is facing a gruelling health battle opened up about her desire to become a mother, which wasn’t received well by her grandmother, Charity Dingle<\/a> (Emma Atkins). In a recent episode, Sarah learnt that she was diagnosed with the early stages of cervical cancer, a terrifying blow for the youngster who also has a rare inherited genetic condition called Fanconi anaemia. However, one fan took to social media with a theory about the character’s future and anticipated: “Sarah\u2019s story will be the same as Sinead’s in Corrie<\/a>. She will get pregnant and be told she needs to start chemo, she will refuse an abortion, have her baby and die!”<\/p>\n

In the consultant’s room, the doctor explained the diagnosis and offered Sarah a glimmer of hope and revealed that it’s still possible for her to fulfil her life’s dream of carrying a child.<\/p>\n

Despite trying to put on a brave face, she opened up to her ex-lover and friend, Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant), who was on shift as a trainee doctor.<\/p>\n

Later in the week, the 19-year-old explained to Jacob just how much she wanted a baby, and after Sarah noticed how hesitant he was about fathering her desired baby, she then looked into IVF, and Charity confronted her after discovering the leaflet.<\/p>\n

Her grandmother said: “Surely you can see how crazy this is, you’re 20 tomorrow, you’re barely an adult. Look, I know this is hard for you to accept, but some doors just need to close.”<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s yet to be seen if Sarah will go ahead with IVF, Coronation Street<\/a> fans will recall Sinead O\u2019Connor\u2019s (Katie McGlynn) tragic demise after she died in 2019 after a battle with cervical cancer.<\/p>\n

At the time of her diagnosis, she was asked to choose between terminating her pregnancy or delaying her chemotherapy treatment, and eventually chose the latter.<\/p>\n

However, at six months, her pregnancy was induced, and she gave birth to her son, Bertie, and celebrated going into remission.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this was short-lived as the cancer returned rapidly, and Sinead became terminally ill. During the harrowing scene, she died with her husband Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) and Bertie by her side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emmerdale returned to ITV with the latest from the beloved Yorkshire Dales.
