ITV Emmerdale fans say same thing as viewers blast 'ridiculous' storyline

Emmerdale fans have hit back at ITV script writers after Charity Dingle (played by Emma Atkins) reached new lows to keep her granddaughter Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) happy in the days after her emergency hysterectomy as a result of cervical cancer. In the past few months, the 20-year-old has shared how desperate she is to become a mother and the operation has also proved to be a devastating blow.

In Monday's (July 14) episode, after hitting a wall with surrogate agencies, Charity looked closer to home and resorted to asking Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) to be Sarah's private surrogate. However, Victoria is completely blindsided by the proposal and overwhelmed wth immense pressure. Although she wants the best for Sarah, she does share understandable hesitation about carrying the baby for her, which fans also agreed with as they took to social media with fury. One commented: "The writers have reached new depths of 'ridiculousness' with this surrogacy storyline & Cain & Charity running around trying to arrange it all-beyond stupid."

A second fan fumed: "wtf?!Charity asking Vic to be Sarah's surrogate with no warning or build-up to it just felt wrong."
