Emmerdale: Samson tries to have Esther taken away

When Samson found out Amelia was pregnant with his baby he made it clear he wasn’t happy, telling her to have an abortion or have the baby adopted.

Samson’s dad, Sam and stepmum, Lydia hoped when the baby was born he would come around.

After Esther was born, Samson visited her but he told her that he didn’t want to be her dad.

Although he put his name on her birth certificate, it’s clear he’s not happy about being a father.

This week Samson was left alone to look after his daughter.

But Samson knew she’d had a sleepless night and tried to convince her that putting Esther up for adoption would be best for both of them.

Amelia refused and after she told her boyfriend Noah about what Samson said, he confronted him.

Samson decided to call social services and reported Amelia for neglect.

The next day a social worker paid Amelia a visit and doctor Manpreet checked over Esther.

She found there were no signs of abuse.

Fans demand ‘nasty’ Samson leaves

Later the social worker visited Samson and told him off for the report.

Meanwhile Amelia, her dad Dan, Noah and Noah’s mum Charity realised it was Samson who made the report.

Sam and Lydia overheard the social worker talking to Samson and realised he made the report.

Dan and Charity confronted Samson over his actions and his family were completely horrified.

Samson told Sam and Lydia that he felt like no one was listening to what he wants.

He explained he wanted to travel, drive nice cars and maybe move to France, where he went on a school trip.

However fans were furious with him and told him he should leave the village and move away.
