Sarah Sugden breaks mum Debbie Dingle’s heart in Emmerdale next week when she decides she doesn’t want any more treatment.
Her decision comes after the school girl overhears Faith Dingle talking about her operation and saying it would be a waste of time.
Debbie is livid after finding out what Faith has said and bans her from the hospital.
Faith is riddled with guilt and comes up with a plan to get Sarah to change her mind.
She arrives at the hospital in disguise and whisks poorly Sarah away down the corridor.
But what is her plan and will it work to get Sarah to change her mind?
Emmerdale fans were left heartbroken back in June when Debbie was told that her daughter had heart failure and needed a heart transplant to save her life.
Debbie was then dealt another blow when Sarah consultant revealed her condition had deteriorated quicker than they’d hoped.
He said: “Her condition has deteriorated significantly I’m afraid.
“Our priority now is getting her a new heart and moving her onto the urgent list.”
He added: “I’m so sorry. I know it’s devastating news.
“I’m very sorry but we can’t proceed with the transplant until he virus is out of her system, so that means not moving her onto the urgent list just yet.”
And even as Debbie and Joe Tate begged him to put her on the list, he couldn’t and explained that the virus made her too weak to cope with the operation.
He said: “She’s weak and her immune system has already been compromised with the amount of treatment she’s had.
She has to be strong enough to withstand the operation and the recovery.”
This means that Debbie is facing the very real prospect of her daughter dying at such a young age.
And fans were utterly heartbroken by the scenes.
One wrote: “I’m not a Debbie fan but I don’t want her to lose a child. No one deserves that. This was one sad episode #Emmerdale”

Some soap fans have already began predicting where that heart might come from, with many thinking Ross Barton might save the schoolgirl’s life.
One predicted: “Ross will die and Sarah will get his heart.”
