A history of Charity’s kids in Emmerdale – Debbie

In 2002, Charity was shocked to realise Paddy and Emily’s foster daughter, teenager Debbie Jones, was her daughter.

Before her life in the village, when she was 13 years old, Charity fell pregnant with her cousin Cain’s baby.

When Charity’s dad Obadiah found out she was pregnant, she kept Charity away from Cain.

After Charity gave birth to her little girl, Obadiah gave the baby to his friend Pat Jones, who registered Debbie as her own daughter. However when Pat became ill in 2002, Debbie was put in temporary foster care with Paddy and Emily.

A short time later, Pat died and Debbie found out that Charity and Cain are her birth parents.

Ryan Stocks

In 2018, Charity opened up to her girlfriend Vanessa about the abuse she suffered from Detective Inspector Bails when she was 14.

After being forced to give up Debbie, Charity was thrown out of her home by Obadiah.

She started to live on the street and was often arrested by Bails for solicitation. He offered her a place to stay, however he soon began to rape her and wouldn’t let her leave the flat.

Bails and his friends repeatedly raped Charity. When she discovered she was pregnant, she began drinking a lot of alcohol in an attempt to end the pregnancy but stopped when she felt her baby kick for the first time.

A few weeks before giving birth, Charity escaped Bails flat and tried to report him to the police, but nothing came of it.

Charity gave birth in hospital to a little boy. However when the baby wasn’t breathing, Charity prepared for the worst.

She soon saw nurses trying to save him. But she believed her son had died and fled the hospital devastated.

However moments after, Charity’s baby boy pulled through. He was adopted by midwife Irene Stocks, who named him Ryan.

In 2018, Charity was reunited with Ryan.

Noah and Moses Dingle
