EMMERDALE fans are worried Charity has sabotaged her chances of adopting Johnny after owning up to her criminal past.
The landlady is on a mission to adopt her fiancée Vanessa’s child after she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Charity and Vanessa have hit several stumbling blocks on their journey – they’ve been struggling to track down Johnny’s dad Kirin, who is currently on the run in America.
And now it looks like Charity has made things even harder for herself after she openly admitted to the social worker reviewing their case about her own less than perfect past.
During the meeting, Charity, played by Emma Atkins, goes into great length over why she wants to adopt Johnny and how much he’s already part of the family.
The social worker explains that they will have to do background checks, and Charity immediately comes clean about her past convictions for soliciting and perverting the course of justice.
Afterwards, Charity worries that she’s ruined her chances of adopting Johnny.
Fans were equally concerned about whether or not she would be able to adopt now they know she has a criminal record and what that will mean for Vanessa’s health and Johnny’s future.
Taking to Twitter, one fan wrote: “Charity Saying it over and over isn’t going to make it true is it? #emmerdale”
“Emmerdale maybe Charity should’ve given the circumstances of her behaviour 
,” added another.
While a third commented: “Charity as a long list of criminal records #Emmerdale”
