Emmerdale: Who is Carl? Who are his parents?
Carl Holliday is the biological son of Jimmy King and Juliette Holliday.
Carl was conceived after a mix up at the fertility clinic which meant that Juliette was given the wrong man’s sperm.
In 2014, a pregnant Juliette tracked down Jimmy so he could sign the papers that waved the rights to his unborn baby. But she ended up going into labour at Jimmy’s house.
Juliette initially allowed Jimmy to see his son. But that stopped when she reconciled with her estranged husband Greg and they decided to be a family,
In January 2016, Jimmy called Juliette to check on Carl. Juliette turned up in the village and gave Carl to Jimmy, explaining her husband left him again.
Jimmy and Nicola agreed to look after him until Juliette got her life back on track.
A few weeks later, Juliette agreed to give Jimmy parental responsibility as Carl was staying with him on a more permanent basis.
Could Juliette be the one who kidnaps Carl? Or is it someone else?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
