AMELIA Spencer has the weight of the world on her shoulders as she faces a surprise pregnancy.
But as she found support in Charity Dingle, Emmerdale viewers were shocked the latter was hiding her own plans for an abortion.
Charity bumped into Amelia at the abortion clinic
She immediately gave her a shoulder to lean on
The Woolpack landlady recommended she talk to someone about her secret pregnancy
Fifteen-year-old Amelia recently found out she was pregnant after a trip to hospital for Thomas Tate resulted in her revealing she’d been consuming a weight gain syrup with dangerous side effects.
During last night’s instalment of the Yorkshire-based soap, the teenager portrayed by Daisy Campbell went to the abortion clinic, ready for the biggest decision of her life.
The youngster has had to face her pregnancy alone as she felt she couldn’t turn to anybody, not even Kerry Wyatt.
However, she soon found support in the form of Emma Atkins‘ Charity, whom she bumped into at the abortion clinic.
Understanding Amelia’s position, as she went through the same ordeal as a teen, Charity immediately offered her a shoulder to lean on in an unexpected move.
When Amelia asked her why she was at the clinic, the Woolpack landlady told her she was suffering from fibroids.
But the biggest twist yet came to viewers at the end of the episode when Charity revealed she was actually pregnant during a secret phone call.
It then became clear to soap fans she was not only keeping her pregnancy a secret but also her plans for termination as her partner Mackenzie Boyd didn’t seem aware of what she was doing.
Moments before, Mackenzie offered to buy them both a takeaway and Charity told him she wanted “extra pickles.”
The comment prompted Mack to state that “anyone would think she was pregnant” but doesn’t know how close to the truth he was.
Charity is the first and only person Amelia spoke to about her pregnancy.
As she struggled with second thoughts about her abortion plans, she seemed to confirm Charity’s son Noah was the father of her unborn child – although this is still unsure.
Fans have speculated Samson Dingle or Heath Hope could have fathered Amelia’s baby as the troubled teen, in their eyes, would be too obvious.
But could his return to the Dales from prison clear up the mystery?
Tune in to ITV to find out.
