As Carl breaks Chas’s leg, other awful Emmerdale proposals

Carl King sweeps Chas Dingle off her feet when he proposes in Classic Emmerdale this week – literally!

He scoops Chas up to stop her talking when he’s trying to tell her how he feels.

But then he drops her again and breaks her leg! OUCH!

In celebration of Carl’s disastrous proposal to Chas (which, let’s face it, is just a taster of how toxic their relationship will eventually become) here’s a round-up of the most awful Emmerdale proposals!

Dan Spencer and Kerry Wyatt – awful Emmerdale proposals

Kerry Wyatt was working out the best way to dump long-term love Dan Spencer when he dropped a surprise on her. He proposed in front of the drinkers in the Woolpack, with a delighted Amelia watching on.

Kerry accepted but she wasn’t impressed and instead when they got a moment to themselves she told him, they weren’t as solid as he thought – but in very different places.

Awww.

Charity Dingle and Vanessa Woodfield

Fan fave Vanity got engaged in a rather unconventional way when Charity hijacked a rude and unpleasant client’s proposal.

The millionaire was so obnoxious to Charity when he hired Home Farm to propose to his own girlfriend, that she locked him in a cupboard! And then, seizing the moment, she nicked the proposal he’d planned – horse-drawn carriage and all. Vanessa wasn’t happy about it when she realised, but she soon forgave Charity, though the pair never actually made it down the aisle.

Robert was annoyed to find Lachlan White in the boot!

If we’re talking awful Emmerdale proposals then Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle have to be on the list! Robert planned to propose to boyfriend Aaron, but the pair were in the car bickering . What were they fighting about? Ah, well that would be the fact that Aaron had kidnapped Lachlan White and put him in the boot.

As the pair argued, Robert told Aaron that his plan to propose had been ruined! Surprised, Aaron glanced over to see Robert produce a wedding ring. But at that moment, his future husband yelled at him to look out, as they approached a pile-up ahead. Aaron swerved to avoid the chaos and the car ended up in a lake!

Luckily, both men lived to see another day, and did eventually tie the knot.

When Victoria Sugden, as played by Isabel Hodgins, arrives to his romantic surprise in the woods, David Metcalfe, as played by Matthew Wolfenden, is bursting with excitement.

David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden

After overcoming some pretty big obstacles – including the wrath of serial killer Meena Jutla – to get together, David and Vic decided they were happy as they were.

At least, that’s what Victoria thought they’d decided. But David thought differently. He laid on a big romantic proposal, with fairy lights and cushions and all sorts, only to have Victoria turn him down – leaving him along in the rain in the middle of the woods!

Graham Foster, as played by Andrew Scarborough, visits a grateful Megan Macey, as played by Gaynor Faye, and gives her a blank cheque, but when Frank, as played by Michael Praed, arrives, she is not sure how to explain the situation. Will Megan tell the truth? And how will Frank take it? — Awks (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Frank Clayton and Megan Macey

When Megan realised her partner Frank was behaving oddly, she convinced herself he was cheating. And so, after some heavy-duty flirting from Graham Foster, she gave into temptation and cheated herself. Except Frank’s strange behaviour was because he was planning to propose – oops!

Guilty Megan rejected Frank’s offer of marriage though they rebuilt their relationship. But tragically Frank was killed in the factory fire (caused by Amy and Kerry) when he went back inside the burning building to get the engagement ring he planned on proposing with.

Al Chapman, as played by Michael Wildman, tells Chas Dingle he's going to end things with Kerry Wyatt, as played by Laura Norton, and actioning his words, he arrives at the pub ready to end things but is blindsided when she proposes to him by doing a rap. — Just don’t, Kerry. Don’t. (Credit: ITV/Shutterstock)

Kerry and Al Chapman

Less disastrous, more downright excruciatingly embarrassing! This awful Emmerdale proposal is a definite contender for most cringe-worthy. Besotted Kerry proposed to Al in the Woolie, through the medium of rap – bad enough, you’d think, but little did she know Al was cheating on her with Chas Dingle. All together now, “all I ask if I’m not a minger, is say yes, my love, and put a ring on me finger…”
