Dr Todd’s lurking gave her some juicy information
Emmerdale revealed a major twist with Dr Caitlin Todd after Charity Dingle survived her horror birth as surrogate for Jacob and Sarah Sugden.
Charity Dingle was left with another lie to spin after she was confronted by Dr Caitlin Todd moments after her traumatic birth scenes aired.
While it was only ever a matter of time that someone else learned the truth about baby Leyla, viewers will know that Dr Todd takes no messing when it comes to having control over a situation.

Arriving at the hospital, the three of them entered the lift up to the maternity ward but it broke down, meaning they were all completely stuck.
As Mack panicked due to his PTSD from being held hostage in John Sugden’s underground bunker, it was up to Ross Barton to pull through and help deliver the baby.
Once baby Leyla arrived, Mack and Ross panicked as they noticed Charity had become unresponsive and was bleeding. After the doors managed to be prised open by the firefighters, Dr Todd was quick on the scene getting Charity straight to surgery after handing Leyla over to Ross.
However, on Wednesday (April 22) night, things became worse for Charity. After Chas confronted Ross for hanging around the hospital, Dr Todd spotted their intense conversation and instantly became intrigued.
Later, she noticed Leyla’s blood type did not match Jacob’s in the medical files, and armed with new information she made her way over to Charity.
While Charity tried to convince Todd that it was a mistake and that Leyla is Jacob and Sarah’s baby, a familiar gleam appeared in her eyes as she responded with a quick comment for Charity to “keep those stress levels down” after Mack disturbed their discreet conversation.
Viewers will know that Jacob has been the subject of bullying since Dr Todd became his mentor. She even went as far as to mention Maya Stepney, his groomer.
Enough was enough for the trainee doctor, and he decided to place a formal complaint with HR. Telling Todd that he’d done just that, now she has Charity’s secret what will she do next?
On a Reddit thread, viewers expressed their shock over the new twist. u/ok_project4522 wrote: “I did not expect that twist with Dr Todd! The reveal must not be long now.”
u/typicalbobcot1088 added: “Dr Todd is annoyingly brilliant to me. I love how she just switches” as u/ryanhanks25 asked: “Is Todd planning on blackmailing Charity to get Jacob to withdraw his complaint?”
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
