Charity Dingle fought back against the scheming Dr Caitlin Todd on Emmerdale tonight, but the feud is far from over. Though she may have recovered some ground in the latest episode, trouble lies ahead for Charity.<\/p>\n

Dr Todd has made Jacob Sugden’s life a living hell over recent months, having bullied him in the workplace. This progressed even further, with the villain targeting the student outside of his job.<\/p>\n

Charity, meanwhile, has been living with a secret. She agreed to be the surrogate for Sarah and Jacob, and subsequently gave birth to Leyla. Unbeknownst to almost everybody, the baby was actually the result of a one-night stand with Ross Barton.<\/p>\n

Ross was the only one who knew about this until Dr Todd made the discovery, and she used it to her advantage<\/a> by demanding a sum of \u00a310,000 in exchange for her silence. Charity, all of a sudden, was in a bind.<\/p>\n

Today’s episode<\/a> of the ITV soap<\/a> began with her lamenting to Ryan about some financial worries, and asked if there was any spare change in the accounts for The Woolpack. He explained that there was barely anything left, but Charity had an opportunity.<\/p>\n

The takings from the previous week were in a bag and needed to be delivered to the bank, with Ryan jokingly telling Charity to not steal any of it. Though she scoffed at his joke, she looked a little sheepish.<\/p>\n

She soon ran into Vanessa, who kissed Dr Todd the previous night. She also agreed with Sarah to babysit Leyla for the evening, but it was clear that she was distracted by her situation with the villain.<\/p>\n

She attempted to use several avenues to secure some funds, but it was to no avail. After reading a poem from Moses, which referred to Charity’s devotion to her family, she seemingly made up her mind.<\/p>\n

Dr Todd arrived, and Charity handed her some money, which she said came via a loan from the bank. The amount was only half the agreed amount, with the schemer quickly losing her temper. <\/p>\n

The pair squabbled, with each threatening to tear the other down. Mackenzie walked in just as it looked like the situation could escalate, but Charity fed him a story about Dr Todd’s romance with Vanessa.<\/p>\n

While Charity assured her husband that the doctor would be leaving the village the following day, advanced spoilers have already teased that Todd will not take too kindly to Charity standing up to her<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
