Emmerdale looks set to rock Charity Dingle's world in the New Year with a heartbreaking development.
Long-time fans will remember Charity (Emma Atkins) was reunited with her long-lost daughter Debbie (Charley Webb), who learned the truth about her parentage after being raised by Paddy and Emily Kirk.
However, Debbie isn't the only long-lost child from Charity's past. In her teenage years, Charity also gave up a son for adoption when she became pregnant after being the victim of sexual assault.
According to The Sun, Charity will be unknowingly reunited with the son she once gave up when he turns up in the village.
The situation is bound to bring heartbreak for Charity, as she's once again confronted with the residual trauma from both the sexual assault and the pregnancy that resulted from it.

Representatives for the ITV soap have yet to confirm that this storyline will be kicking off in 2018.
Charity has recently faced conflict with Debbie, when she discovered that her daughter's boyfriend Tom Waterhouse (Ned Porteous) had ulterior motives for getting close to the Dingle family.
Emma Atkins has been involved in hard-hitting storylines since she first debuted as Charity Dingle in 2000, having masterminded any number of schemes to get even with her in-laws and was once even framed for the murder of ex-husband Chris Tate (Peter Amory).
