Emmerdale fans fear the worst for Charity Dingle, after a sick twist in last night’s episode (Thursday 26 April).
Corrupt rapist DI Mark Bails made his former victim a twisted offer which left ITV viewers gobsmacked.
They watched in horror as Charity, clearly rattled and upset, came head to head with her foe and confronted him.
Viewers will know that DI Bails sexually abused Charity as a teenager and now has a deadly vendetta against her.

Knowing that she could ruin his career, he tried to cut a deal by offering her £20,000 in exchange for her silence.
But how will Charity react to the disturbing proposition? Will the Woolpack landlady take the cash?
Come on! This is Charity we’re talking about! We doubt she’ll let the lying scumbag get away with his heinous crimes…
Especially now as Bails seems to have targeted Tracy Metcalfe, who is working with him on a task force aimed at tackling sexual exploitation.

After Charity told Bails to stay away from Tracy, he replied that he was untouchable and could easily break her if he wanted to.
Fans had their own opinion on whether Charity should accept the offer, with many calling for her to tell him where to stick his offer!

The mixture of fear, nausea and strength that was evident in Charity was brilliantly done. Seriously, if you're not watching Emma Atkins killing it, you are missing out massively. #Emmerdale

I hate men in power who use that to manipulate women. That man is such a creep makes me think more that Simon might be Charity son. #Emmerdale #CharityDingle

I love how Charity is standing up to DS Bails! Charity puts on a front but deep down it’s haunted her for so long, I am glad she’s finally had the courage to confront him #Emmerdale

Charity is smart enough to know that if he's offering her money for her silence, HE's scared of HER! Stay strong babe. Let Vanessa help you. #vanity @emmerdale

One wrote: “Tell him to [bleep] off, Charity!”
A second added: “Dont take that scums money charity babe. U take the scumbag down. The smug ass as he is. Ur better than that.”
A third wrote: “Charity is smart enough to know that if he’s offering her money for her silence, HE’s scared of HER! Stay strong babe. Let Vanessa help you.”
Another had an interesting theory about Charity’s future, tweeting: “I think when Charity tells Tracy about Bails and then opens up to Harriet, will be the start of team #vanity Harriet and Tracy joining forces to get the evidence to expose the vile creature Bails, then have a serious word with Noah the little brat.”
Viewers will find out in tonight’s episode (Friday 27 April) at 7pm what decision Charity eventually makes.
But something tells us it’s not going to be that easy to silence Charity…
