Samson faces up to prison in Emmerdale spoilers

Samson has slowly been coming to terms with the fact that he’s going to jail. He’s decided to plead guilty and claims to be accepting of his fate. Cain Dingle has given his nephew a crash course on how to handle himself on the inside. But a light beating from Cain is probably nothing compared to the brutal reality of what awaits.

As the day of the hearing approaches, vengeful Moira Dingle is still baying for Samson’s blood. She’s unable to forgive the dreadful pain he caused Matty and can’t conceal her contempt for the lying teen.

Meanwhile, after weeks of being under his control, Samson finds the courage to stand up to Josh. The confrontation gets heated as Samson finally lets the vile bully know exactly what he thinks of him. But will his act of bravery backfire?

Samson is arrested

Not long after his face-off with Josh, the police come calling to arrest Samson for assault.

There’s nothing poor Sam and Lydia can do as the lad is cuffed and led away. Moira, on the other hand, is pleased to see justice is being served and watches on with a look of smug satisfaction.

Cain is convinced his wife is behind the arrest and accuses Moira of grassing Samson up. After all, it would make complete sense given what he did to Matty. But Moira is adamant this isn’t some act of revenge and she didn’t call the cops. Is she actually being honest though?
