As all soap fans know, October is always a big month for Emmerdale. It marks the soap’s anniversary and to celebrate there’s always a huge storyline around that time.
Last year, it was Moira giving birth to little Isaac, and then killing Emma. The year before was the huge crash when Emma pushed James from the bridge.
And now fans reckon they’ve worked out what this year’s big storyline is going to be.
Chas and Paddy’s baby.
In last night’s episode the happy couple announced to their family that they were having a baby, with Paddy telling everyone that the little one was due in October.
Ah, October, you say?
Meanwhile, Paddy’s ex-wife Rhona greeted the news with a definite lack of enthusiasm.
Rhona has said she’s totally FINE with Paddy moving on, and she’s rebounded quite nicely in to Pete Barton’s bed which has helped. But now it seems she might not be quite so fine after all.
Could this be a sign of what’s to come?
Emmerdale fans took to social media to predict that Chas would give birth in dramatic circumstances in the autumn.
“Interesting… Chas and Paddy due in October, the usual SSW month. Just sayin’,” wrote one fan.
“So can we expect Chas to have the baby on the next SSW?” asked another.
And some fans predicted dark days ahead.
“Please don’t let anything bad happen to Chas & Paddy’s baby,” begged one fan.
And others thought Rhona’s reaction to the news might be a hint about what could happen.

Though Rhona said she was “over the moon” for Paddy and Chas, she definitely didn’t look it.
Some viewers thought Paddy might cheat with Rhona.
“Rhona and Paddy…they’re not over,” said one viewer.
“This is all going to go badly wrong,” agreed another.
And others thought Rhona might get involved in the baby’s birth.
“She might have to deliver it, or rush Chas to hospital,” one fan predicted.
