Emmerdale: Minty the Lamb passes way
Amongst the drama in Monday’s episode of Emmerdale, the passing of Minty the Lamb was revealed by Isaac. He had grown fond of the lamb over recent months.
Isaac had convinced his parents Moira and Cain to let him keep Minty on the farm. However, Moira had warned him that the lamb wouldn’t live for very long.
Whilst she and Cain were embroiled in another row over imprisoned Matty, Isaac walked in and shared the sad news. Moira and Cain consoled Isaac as he cried, therefore bringing their argument to a halt.
Tearfully, he said: “But I don’t want him to be dead!” Reminding her son of what she’d previously warned him about, Moira sadly comforted him.
