Merely an observation, her skin looked very white, like his did in later life, against her black hair. Guessing she was wearing white make up to make her look ill. It just immediately made me think of him.

samson is horrid
He's a smarmy little prick. I thought he was bad enough yesterday but he was worse tonight
what happened to samson who liked amelia and did hairdressing, did her hair etc., the personality change in a short time, sam needs to tell his son he is wrong
I must admit to agreeing with Samson when he said that he would have liked to have been informed of his impending fatherhood rather earlier than at a point when abortion is out of the question and yes, he is devastated about his plans and aspirations being scuppered... although knowing soap life, he will have a talking to and realise all is not bad ...
I do not think Samson Is necessarily a monster. I think the shock of the news that Amelia was pregnant, and the perceived change in his life was just too much for him to come to terms with. One minute he was making plans for his future after getting good exam results, then suddenly he feels all this is being taken away from him, at the prospect of being a teenage dad. Hopefully when he has time to reflect, he will adopt a more reasonable attitude.
I think children are forced to grow up too quickly nowadays, I think the change from playing children's games to sexual awakening seems to happen overnight. And now with pressures generated on the internet, influencers, marketing and advertizing targetting teens, is very difficult for them to develop at their own pace. Both Noah and Samson have found themselves in situations that they are not mature enough to handle. Noah's concern for Amelia has shown him not to be the monster, Kerry and Amy paint him to be. Without their pressure I wonder if Chloe would have went to the police, and Noah might have escaped a criminal record. Now we wait to see if Samson suffers the same fate, as Amelia would have been 15 at the time.
I still think if Amelia had told him as soon as she realised she was pregnant he would have reacted differently. I would be scared if I was 15/16 and suddenly was faced with parenthood. At least Amelia gets lots of support, I hope Samson gets it from the Dingles.
From what I can gather though he's literally just dropped her as soon as they had sex and had virtually no contact with her since. I think if I was in Amelia's shoes I wouldn't exactly be rushing out to tell him either. I found out I was pregnant after I'd split with my ex and even though I lost the baby before I'd decided I don't think I'd have told him as I really wouldn't have wanted him in our lives.
Then the way that Samson was talking about her to Noah even before Noah told him she's pregnant he seemed like a right little toerag who had only been interested in getting his leg over. Not to mention about his comment to Sam and Lydia making out he was hard done by as "it's the girl's responsibilty to not get pregnant". Even though he's just had this dropped on him, there's no need for him to go on the way he was trying to tell (screaming at) Amelia that she had to have an abortion or have the baby adopted. He was very much only concerned about himself and didn't seem to even want to aknowledge that it's going to have a big impact on her life too. He was shouting about wanting to have been told before abortion was out of the question but at the end of the day it's her body and her decision and he doesn't have the right to try and make her have an abortion either way.
FWIW, I think this is a thought provoking storyline for Emmerdale. Mainly based on Danny Kruger (Tory MP son of Prue Leith of GBBO fame) recently saying in parliament that he didn't think women should have full autonomy over their bodies and the repeal of Roe V Wade in the US. Often these type of issues are portrayed as either or without nuance/context.
chas should open up to charity not open her legs for al
kerry acting all holier than thou prime and proper "mad emoji"
I think Kerry was better in her earlier years. The longer she's stayed the more above herself she's got
Watching Dan running after that bus, I do not think Noah has to much to worry about his threats.
can we expect a baby belle from mack
The Unreverend Charles is a nasty not tempered racist.
I reckon he has 666 on his bald patch
What a despicable individual he has turned out to be. Because Nicola reported his obnoxious daughter for being part of the thugs that attacked her she is racist. Because Jimmy stuck up for Nicola, he is racist as well. All this from a vicar, who isn't fit to wear a dog collar.
Now Ethan has thrown the racist slur about as well. Maybe that family should look at themselves before accusing others. Remember Charles, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
vinny and gaby should see what sandra is doing, pushing them together, she is obvious
Who is Mack's secret shag? My moneys on Chloe?
So Macks secret shag is someone with a lot more to lose than him. That rules out Chloe who I thought it might be. Wonder who it is?
There's not many women who would be out in town on there own and would not be missed if they didn't come home that night to choose from.
Who is it not..
Brenda, Faith, Lydia, Liv, Chas, Rhona, Victoria, Nichola, Laurel, Dawn, Moira, Manpreet, Kim? (surely we would have Will asking where she was)
Who is left..
Kerry, Amy, Harriet, Bernice, Gabby, Chloe, Mandy.
Who have I left out, other than Charity and the lesbians?
So Chastity now trying to justify her dalliance with Al by blaming Paddy for not making time for her.
Vinny seems a bit quick to fall in with Sandra's scheming. He seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill. Liv told him she was coping with accidentally drinking alcohol, but instead of saying "well done" and supporting her, he kept on at her and looking for problems that have not arisen yet. A bit contrived, especially as Santa's scheming is so obvious.
