Next week on Emmerdale, Charity Dingle faces a life-threatening situation when she goes into labour while trapped in a hospital lift. The drama unfolds after her car breaks down, and Ross Barton gives her and husband Mack Boyd a lift to the hospital. However, the lift they enter stops working, leaving them stranded as Charity's contractions intensify.
As the labour ward is alerted to a woman giving birth in the lift, Sarah Sugden fears the worst for her grandmother. Mack and Ross attempt to deliver the baby, but Ross notices a growing pool of blood on the floor, putting Charity's life in danger. Viewers will be left wondering if Charity and her baby will survive, and whether the truth about the baby's paternity—Ross is the father—will be exposed.
Elsewhere in the village, Jacob Gallagher takes action against his bullying boss, Dr Todd, by filing a formal complaint after advice from Ross Barton. Meanwhile, Moira Dingle struggles to adjust after her release from prison, losing her home and farm. She accepts Lydia's offer to stay at the Dingle house with Cain, but tensions rise when Sam makes a joke that pressures Cain.
Belle Dingle and Kammy Hadiq look forward to a date as romance blossoms. Paddy learns that his father Bear has been moved to solitary confinement after a fight with another prisoner, dashing hopes of his release. Dylan decides to end his relationship with April Windsor as he and Paddy face prison over Ray Walters' death.
