Vanessa Woodfield has been left fighting for her life after being stabbed by Lachlan White’s dad Donny Cairn.
As Charity went off in search of revenge, an ambulance was called for Vanessa.
The vet was then rushed to hospital with her loved ones – and fans – all fearing for her life.

But Emmerdale fans weren’t convinced by the emergency paramedic team, who they accused of being “useless” and “negligent”.
As Vanessa lay in the bed suffering from life-threatening internal injuries, the paramedic “just sat there” and “never budged”.
And viewers were fuming!
One said: “Remind me never to get into an ambulance in Emmerdale after being stabbed – no oxygen, paramedic just sat watching. Put a claim in for negligence if she dies #emmerdale #vanessa @emmerdale.”
Loved tonight's episodes, and Vanessa better not be killed off, but was the paramedic in the ambulance in training as she didn't do anything to help Vanessa, she could of stopped breathing and I'm sure the paramedic wouldn't off moved 😂😂😂

The award for most useful paramedic in the soaps goes to the one in the ambulance with Vanessa tonight in Emmerdale. She is crashing due to suspected internal bleeding and low blood pressure and the paramedic didn't even get out of her seat. #Emmerdale

A third added: “Is it just me or is that paramedic doing absolutely zero for Vanessa no oxygen nothing @emmerdale.”
“The award for most useful paramedic in the soaps goes to the one in the ambulance with Vanessa tonight in Emmerdale,” criticised another. “She is crashing due to suspected internal bleeding and low blood pressure and the paramedic didn’t even get out of her seat. #Emmerdale.”
Concerned viewers now have to wait to discover if Vanessa will pull through.
Last night (Thursday 10 January), the vet was in the wrong place at the wrong time when she saw Donny pouring petrol over the bins at the back of The Woolpack.
After a struggle, Lachlan’s dodgy dad stabbed her with a broken bottle and made his getaway – but not before setting the bins alight.
He made a getaway by stealing Vanessa’s car – not realising her son Johnny was strapped in the back.
Through sheer force of will, Vanessa managed to call for help and get medical attention, while the Dingle family stopped the fire and Charity pursued Donny.
In cathartic scenes, Charity was seen beating Donny up with a metal pole, leaving him unconscious and rescuing Johnny before the police showed up.
But will Vanessa survive? And is this the last we’ll see of Lachlan and his dad?
