Emmerdale reveals New Year wedding drama for Sarah and Jacob
Emmerdale’s Sarah Sugden and Jacob Gallagher get their second chance at a dream wedding day next week, but Charity Dingle’s shocking
baby secret threatens to ruin everything. The young couple were recently left disappointed after their first attempt was derailed by Eric Pollard and Kerry Wyatt’s surprise nuptials, but they’re not giving up just yet.

Looking out for her granddaughter, Charity hatches a plan for Eric to use his old contacts at the council to allow Sarah and Jacob to get married as soon as possible. Before long, Sarah and Jacob are gobsmacked as Charity presents them with a surprise New Year’s Day wedding.
Once again, though, the big day could run into trouble! Vanessa Woodfield is furious after Charity mistakenly accuses her of writing John Sugden’s tell-all note to Mackenzie Boyd, which tried to expose the truth about the baby’s paternity.
With Vanessa now hoping the whole scandal blows up in Charity’s face, will she turn spiteful by ruining the wedding?
Here, Katie Hill – who plays Sarah – previews the big week in store…
“Well, they have been trying to make sure all the important people to them are available, but they’re having some difficulty with doing this as no-one is prioritising them right now. They originally set it up as a baby gender reveal party, even though it was actually their wedding.
“Eric and Charity didn’t want to attend when they thought it was just a party. That definitely made Sarah feel upset, as these two are the most important people to Sarah and Jacob.
“I don’t think Sarah has been questioning Charity too much, as she came up with the excuse of having a work meeting, but Sarah was definitely disheartened to hear she couldn’t or wouldn’t change her plans.”
“I think she has probably noticed that her gran has not been her usual self sometimes. But she puts it down to the fact that her gran is stressing about wanting everything to be okay with the baby.
“So I think it brushes past Sarah. She is also so loved up and excited for this next chapter, so that is what’s driving her to stay positive about everything.”
How did Sarah and Jacob feel about Eric and Kerry’s surprise wedding?
“They were massively in shock, as this was the last thing they expected to see just before they were about to get married. It completely ruined their day as their special moment was now taken away. It was fun filming it, though, and I hope the audience liked watching this shock!”
