Emmerdale fans are fearing the worst for Charity Dingle after she took responsibility for Dr Todd’s death. And now some are wondering whether the storyline could lead to Emma Atkins leaving the soap.
The last few episodes have finally revealed the truth about what happened to Dr Todd. During Sunday’s rare episode, Sarah Sugden discovered that Charity had been raped by Todd. Desperate to protect her, Sarah confronted Todd and shoved her, causing her to fall and hit her head.
But Charity refused to allow Sarah to take responsibility for the death. Instead, she told police that she was the one who killed Todd.
If the pair’s claim of self-defence fails, Charity could potentially find herself behind bars, leaving fans increasingly worried about her future in the village.

Charity and Sarah stick to their story in Emmerdale
In Tuesday’s episode, Charity and Sarah did their best to convince police that Todd’s death was the result of self-defence, with Charity continuing to insist she was responsible.
However, Sarah’s interrogation didn’t go completely to plan. At one point, she explained that Todd had a sinister look on her face, only for detectives to question how she could have seen her expression if she had been standing at the door.
Sarah immediately feared she had ruined everything.
Despite the mistake, Sarah was eventually allowed to leave, while Charity remained in police custody.
The detective then explained that, because of the investigation into Todd’s alleged assault of Charity, police now need to establish whether Charity killed her as an act of revenge.
Charity remains adamant that isn’t what happened and continues to take the blame to protect Sarah. But with the investigation now taking a more serious turn, viewers are asking whether this could really result in Charity going to prison.
