Things have been going swimmingly for Chas Dingle recently. She’s totally loved up with Paddy Kirk, happily running the Woolpack alongside cousin Charity, her mum’s living nearby, and things are good with son Aaron, too.
And we don’t know about you, but all that contentment has set our alarm bells ringing.
Life never stays settled like that for long in soap, does it? So we weren’t at all shocked to hear that Chas is about to get some very surprising news.
In next week’s Emmerdale the bolshy barmaid finds out something that leaves her reeling in shock.
Show bosses are keeping schtum as to what the news is – but we’ve got a few ideas.
With a past as colourful as Chas’s, there are lots of skeletons in her closet just waiting to burst out!
Could the news be to do with Paddy? Could there be a marriage proposal in the works? We’d love to see Paddy and Chas tie the knot. Is there a Baby Paddity on the way?!
Or perhaps it’s something less positive? Could her mum’s cancer have come back? Or could Chas herself find out she’s ill?
Could it be something totally crazy – a partnership between the vets’ surgery and the Woolpack perhaps, now Chas is romancing Paddy, and Charity’s loved up with Vanessa?!

Or what about something much darker? Remember Chas’s evil former lover – and Dales murderer – Cameron Murray? Yes, we know he’s dead but are we completely sure about that? Could he come back to start terrorising the village again?
Or more likely, could someone else – yes, Joe Tate we’re looking at you – use Cameron’s memory to torment poor Chas as part of his Dingle vendetta?
