Emmerdale star Sam Hall insists Samson 'does have morals'

As Samson Dingle in Emmerdale becomes more and more unlikable thanks to his lies, actor Sam Hall has revealed his alter ego will have a change of heart and attempt to set Matty free.

Currently Matty is locked up after he stabbed Samson. It was an accident, caused by Josh hurling transphobic insults at Matty and then pushing Samson into him. Samson was stabbed by the knife Matty was holding. He has since lied, under Josh’s orders, that Matty hurt him in cold blood.

It’s left the Dingles divided as half of them are standing by Samson, believing his lies, and the other half are desperate to get him to tell the truth.

Samson will finally – finally – have a change of heart next week. But how will Josh react?

Emmerdale spoilers: The truth is out!

Emmerdale spoilers for next week reveal that Samson has been caught out in his fibs by Lydia. She encourages him to go to the police and be honest about what really happened. However his dad Sam is worried about Samson’s future and the trouble lying to the police will get him in and encourages him to do a runner.

With Sam and Lydia poles apart and Sam turning his anger on Cain, a fight breaks out and Sam punches his brother to the floor of the Woolpack.

Samson eventually realises Lydia is right and he needs to tell the truth. But how will this affect his future?

Sam Hall teases the reason Samson tells the truth

Sam Hall who plays Samson has shared the reason behind the character’s U-turn.

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, Sam shared: “As we’ve seen previously in storylines, he sometimes says the wrong things and gets persuaded fairly easily by people through either fear or fear of the unknown.

“In the end, he always comes out to do the right thing because, from a parent’s point of view, Sam has always taught Samson to do the right thing. And, Lydia has always backed up Sam’s views on coming clean and doing the right thing. So, however wrong Samson does, I feel like he always comes out in the end to do the right thing and reverse what wrong he’s done.”

But why does he choose now, after standing his ground for so long, to come clean? “I think it’s his own conscience, I really do,” Sam explained.

“I do think his morals are very deep down, correct. In the end, it’s himself that thinks ‘look, Matty’s family, this isn’t the right thing to do. We need to do what’s right here.’ I do think it’s him.”

But there’s no telling whether the confession is in time to save Matty who is in prison hell and under threat from violence. Or how Josh will react. And whether Samson himself will evade justice?
