But the following night (Wednesday 13 June), the 13-year-old schoolgirl was told the devastating news that she has a weak heart.

And the future looks bleak… although some viewers are speculating that Ross Barton will be her saviour.

Medics explained to a scared Sarah and her frantic mum that it’s a rare side effect of the chemotherapy she endured during her cancer battle.

Although treatment and medication can help, there is no cure.

Poor Sarah has already been through so much in her short life.

Her parents Debbie and Andy Sudgen conceived Jack in the hope of providing life-saving bone marrow for a transplant when she developed leukaemia at the age of seven.

She has survived throat cancer, and many Emmerdale fans believe she can survive this.

Some speculated that Sarah will need a heart transplant, with other theories put Ross in line as hero!

One predicted: “Ross will die and Sarah will get his heart.”

Another thought Joe Tate might offer his money (not his heart), saying: “Sarah will either go on the transplant list (which sometimes doesn’t help heart failure) or Nasty Joe will cough up for the best available treatment in the world to save her life and ALL will be forgiven.”

Others even hoped this would see the return of dad Andy.

Will Sarah get through this?
