Emmerdale return for 'dead Dingle member' in huge twist - and Charity is in for a shock

Emmerdale: Belle confesses her abuse to Charity

An Emmerdale Dingle might just make a sensational return from beyond the grave in an astonishing plot twist.

For over half a century, ITV's Emmerdale has seen the Dingle clan at the heart of its most gripping storylines, with characters like Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter), Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins), and Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) becoming household names.

Regulars such as Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley), Sam Dingle (James Hooton), and Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) continue to grace our screens, while we've mourned the loss of beloved Dingles including Lisa (Jane Cox) and, more recently, Zak (Steve Halliwell).

Charity, who first appeared in 2000, has won viewers' hearts despite her tumultuous life filled with illicit romances, hidden offspring, abuse, and even murder allegations.

But now, fans are abuzz with speculation that Charity could be at the centre of a massive family revelation.

Daughter of Obadiah (Paul Kopley) and Kathleen Dingle, Charity has had a fraught relationship with her father, whom she sought out in 2018 hoping to mend fences, reports Leeds Live.

The tale of her mother Kathleen, however, is shrouded in enigma. Kathleen supposedly took her own life when Charity was young, leaving behind a note for Obadiah before driving to a cliff edge and leaping to her demise - yet her remains were never recovered.

Now, devotees of the show are hypothesising on a Reddit thread titled "Charity's mum" that Kathleen might dramatically reappear in the village, delivering a storyline shocker.

"Charity's mum, with great casting, could have been a great addition to the cast. After that episode with her dad and she found out about the suicide, I could have SWORN we were getting a fantastic arc...but it just never happened," noted one fan.

Another highlighted a potential hint at her return: her body was never discovered.

The fan commented: "This one always surprises me says that charity's mother Kathleen Dingle died by suicide and the body was never found what are the chances she faked her death and is still alive." A second fan agreed: "Definitely!"
