Chrissie returns with Andy their trip to Spain more determined than ever to find out if Lawrence is her biological dad. Having been consumed by doubt since her dad told her that he had an open marriage with her mum [Ellen White], Chrissie tells Andy she's going to organise a DNA test.
'She's found out her dad's been lying to her for her whole life', explains Louise Marwood, who plays Chrissie, referring to Lawrence's open marriage. 'So now it's about identity and finding out who she really is. She wants to do the test to have it in black and white.'
But what if Chrissie's worst fears come true and she discovers that Lawrence isn't her biological dad? 'She would be devastated,' says Louise. 'She would question everything in her life.'
After agonising about it, Chrissie finally plucks up the courage to ask Lawrence for a DNA sample - but nothing prepares her for his shock bombshell response...
Chrissie's left reeling and turns to Andy for support. Devastated by her dad's words, and feeling closer to her boyfriend than ever, Chrissie tells Andy she loves him. But does Andy feel the same way? And what will he say when Chrissie announces that she wants to escape Emmerdale to distance herself from the heartbreak Lawrence has caused?
'Andy is Chrissie's rock at the moment,' adds Louise. 'He's been there for her through all the turmoil and she's developed very strong feelings for him very fast.'

What's on TV is usually OK for reliable spoilers so I assume for now that this one is true. What it says does agree for now with all of the hints from other sources that Lawrence drops a verbal bombshell and that Chrissie later wants to leave Emmerdale.
I did wonder about what Lawrence would say, I thought he might say something to her like "I don't know..." if he is Chrissie's father or not. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that Ronnie Hale is Chrissie's father, as Ronnie may have been one of several affairs by Ellen?
Whatever happens, I think Andy will tell Chrissie that Lawrence has always been her dad and been there to love her. Of course, Andy (Hopwood) was adopted by Jack and Sarah Sugden years ago and they seem to have, at least at times anyway, thought more of Andy as a son than they thought of in Robert (Jack was Robert's father, Pat Sugden was Robert's mother, Sarah was Robert's adoptive-mother). I think that this similar history of having and adoptive dad will bring Andy and Chrissie closer together, which I for one would be happy with as I think that they make a great couple. Maybe Andy and Chrissie even get married in a while...?
