I so wish Paddy and Chas had a different storyline so they could have had the baby and become a great little family together. #Emmerdale

A third spoke for many when they said: “Omg. Chas and Paddy tho. One of the saddest scenes I think I’ve ever seen. In pieces. Wonderful acting.”
Fans are going to have to stock up on their tissue supply as there are more heartwrenching scenes to come.
Chas will give birth to the baby and have to say goodbye in upcoming episodes.
Prepare to be broken…
