VIEWERS saw Chas Dingle cosying up to Al Chapman during last night’s trip to the Dales.
Yet her daughter Eve Dingle stole the show as Emmerdale fans were surprised to find out her real age.
Eve Dingle made an appearance during last night’s Emmerdale episode
Chas’ daughter hadn’t been seen since her birth in 2019
Eve was left to her own devices as her mother spoke to her lover Al Chapman
The daughter of Chas and Paddy Dingle, Eve was born on October 23, 2019, but has been kept away from the spotlight since her birth.
Fans of the Yorkshire-based soap were thus surprised to see the little girl, portrayed by Bonnie and Billy Clement, in Wednesday’s episode.
They hadn’t seen her since she was a baby.
Eve was left to her own devices in the Hop, colouring in a picture, while her mother chatted to her lover, local businessman Al Chapman (played by Harry Potter actor Michael Wildman).
The Woolpack manager (Lucy Pargeter) kept an eye on her daughter just as viewers swarmed over to Twitter, amazed at how much Eve had grown off-screen.
“When did Eve get so big?!”, one of them penned while another amazed viewer echoed: “Wow!! Is that Eve? Can’t believe she’s grown up that fast! Last I saw her she was in the back of a car that was nearly run off the road by Jamie.”
A third one commented: “Bloody hell, Eve has got tall!”
“Eve was only 6 months old 20 minutes ago!!”, chimed in another flabbergasted fan as one viewer concluded: “Wow I spot an Eve!!! Forgot she existed to be honest.”
As mentioned above, Eve is just under three years old and will be celebrating her birthday amid the show’s fiftieth anniversary.
Soap bosses have confirmed some major twists and turns for Emmerdale’s anniversary, including some big returns just as the eponymous village is set to be hit by a deadly storm.
Fans, however, have speculated a huge death could be in the works as Al Chapman actor Michael Wildman has sparked rumours he’s quitting the ITV program.
Sally Dexter aka Faith Dingle will also be waving goodbye to the Dales as her character will succumb to her cancer.
In the meantime, Chas has told her mother that she won’t be able to see her grandchildren on her own due to her condition, despite Faith’s pleas.
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
Viewers were stunned to see Chas’ daughter
And they took to Twitter to share their thoughts
