ITV Emmerdale fans 'work out' major bombshell plot twist as icon 'set to return'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Emmerdale enthusiasts are speculating a surrogacy plot twist for Sarah Sugden, and they believe they've figured out who will bear her child. Sarah (played by Katie Hill), the offspring of Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) and Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), has certainly experienced her fair share of turmoil during her time in the Dales. The character has spent a significant portion of her life in hospital due to a life-altering diagnosis. Sarah was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder known as Fanconi anaemia when she was just six years old. This diagnosis necessitated a life-saving bone marrow transplant and a heart transplant, leaving her anxious about her lifespan compared to her fellow villagers. In addition to this, Sarah has fought cancer twice and suffered from heart failure in 2018, a side effect of chemotherapy, reports Belfast Live. Recently, Sarah has expressed a strong desire to have a baby and underwent IVF treatment. However, during the process, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. In upcoming episodes, Sarah is scheduled to undergo surgery for her cancer. But things take an unexpected turn when a surgeon informs her grandmother Charity (Emma Atkins) that the operation didn't go as planned. Now, fans are convinced that Sarah will opt for surrogacy, and they think they've deduced who will carry her baby - a returning soap legend. On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one individual speculated: "I have a feeling Sarah will be unable to have a baby. Her carrying a baby was already incredibly risky so I think there's going to be a surrogacy person concurred: "I thought that too. " A third fan suggested Sarah's mum Debbie as a potential surrogate for Sarah's child." I did think of Charity as the surrogate but maybe Debbie could do it?" they pondered. Another agreed: "I'd love that, and then she can finally return!" Debbie Dingle is a soap icon, having made her first appearance in 2002. As Cain's (Jeff Hordley) daughter, she has been involved in numerous major storylines until her departure in 2021.

Tracy Beaker's Dani Harmer nearly landed Emmerdale role
The role of Debbie Dingle was actually filled by Charley Webb, who first appeared in the show all the way back in 2002, before exiting in 2021. However, child star Dani, who is now 36-years-old, has opened up about some of her past auditions, as well as the roles she failed to get. Tracy Beaker star Dani Harmer reveals she nearly landed the role of Debbie Dingle on Emmerdale According to The Sun, Dani Harmer said: "Another random part that I auditioned for, Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale. Weird. "I got quite far for that one, too, but didn't get it, probably because I wasn't Northern. "Yeah, I don't think I was ever right for that, but what could have been a but, yeah, definitely weren't right for that one." The actor also revealed that before landing the role of Tracy Beaker, she made it to the last round of auditions for the hit kids' show My Parents Are Aliens. Sharing her devastation at being rejected for the part, she said: "Back in the day. I auditioned for a little show called My Parents Are Aliens. "I actually got down to the final two for that, and I was devastated when I didn't get it, like, oh man. I was so sad. "And I did a really good audition and everything. And, yeah, I was so gutted. But a year later, I got Tracy Beaker, so I feel like everything happens for a reason." Beyond ITV and the BBC, the star also tried to secure a part for a global show on the Disney Channel. She said: "This one's gonna really make you giggle at one point, they did do a UK casting call for Hannah Montana. "I did, in fact, have an audition for her friend. So don't panic, I wasn't after Miley Cyrus's job. "Yeah, and that was a strange audition. I just remember it lasting for all of like three seconds, probably because they knew they were just gonna cast it in America, so I felt like they were just wasting our time." Recommended Reading: Reflecting on all of this, she joked: "But yeah, what could have been, hey, if I'd landed any of those roles other than Tracy Beaker, [I] could have been in Emmerdale. [I] could have worked with Miley Cyrus. "Or it could have been in My Parents Are Aliens, and not Tracy Beaker. "By like, oh my gosh, I could have not been Tracy Beaker at all. Everything happens for a reason."
