Emmerdale SPOILER: Sarah’s transplant op

A new heart has finally been found for the teen

Sarah Sugden is left feeling terrified in Emmerdale next week when she’s told that a donor heart has become available.

But instead of feeling relief, the schoolgirl is left in a panic, all her old fears about the operation resurfacing.

Mum Debbie arrives but feels helpless as she tries to comfort Sarah before she’s wheeled down for the huge operation.

When she’s gone, Debbie breaks down in tears, worried that she’ll never see her little girl again.

Later, Faith and Charity are left fearing the worst when the doctor can’t give them a straight answer about Sarah’s condition.

Fans of the ITV soap have already been told to prepare themselves for a big twist in Sarah’s storyline by no less than two cast members.

Ned Porteous who plays Joe Tate has spoken out about the fate of Sarah  who has been in hospital for months.

Ned told Inside Soap: “Joe plans a masquerade ball at Home Farm. It’s a fund-raiser for transplant awareness in aid of Sarah, who needs a heart.

“You can expect a fair few emotional scenes as the harsh truth of Sarah’s situation is that it’s not going to get better in the space of a couple of weeks or months.”

He added: “I think the show is doing a good job of depicting the strain on a family when someone is than unwell.

“Debbie and Joe’s relationship is going to come under a lot of pressure, but Joe has realised that he really does love her.”

Ned’s comments came shortly after Emmerdale co-star Matthew Wolfenden who plays David Metcalfe in the ITV soap also teased a twist coming up in the storyline.

He told This Morning viewers last month: “That [Sarah Sugden] storyline has a twist to it and it’s going to be absolutely brilliant. It’s coming up in three or four weeks. A big twist.”

Matthew, who plays David Metcalfe, managed to whip fans into a frenzy, with all sorts of conspiracy theories being speculated upon!

Meanwhile, Matthew’s real life wife Charley Webb – who plays heartbroken mum Debbie Dingle – recently gave fans a huge clue that Sarah’s heart failure story is far from over as she revealed she was set to shoot “more emotional scenes”.

The storyline will come after what’s been an explosive few weeks as serial killer Lachlan White wass revealed to be a murderer to horrified Emmerdale residents.

In fact, one fan theory is that Sarah receives a heart transplant from one of Lachlan’s victims… Or even Lachlan himself!

Would you really want Lachlan’s black heart inside of you, though?

The twist in Sarah’s health scare follows emotional scenes recently when she was told she was unable to have a heart transplant at the last minute.

Fans praised the actors for the heartbreaking scenes, which saw both Sarah and mum Debbie break down in tears.

Will there be a happy ending for the Dingle family at last? Or is more heartbreak ahead?
