Fans of Emmerdale have been left wondering whether Sarah Sugden‘s life is in danger as last night’s episode of the soap (Monday, March 10) revealed that her pregnancy had been a false alarm.
Sarah initially believed she had fallen pregnant after sleeping with Jacob, and shared the news with Charity soon afterwards. But, as she sat down for a check-up with Manpreet, the doctor revealed that she wasn’t really pregnant.
Sarah and Charity were left reeling at the news, with Sarah fearing that this had been her last chance at a family – due to her health issues.
Sad news for Sarah – but does she have even more cause for concern?
Sarah to die following false pregnancy, new Emmerdale fan theory predicts
Writing on X as last night’s episode aired, a new fan theory emerged – suggesting that Sarah’s life might be in danger.
“Has the false positive got anything to do with her illness? Sarah is going to be Charles next customer,” predicted one fan, referencing the recent spate of funerals in the village.
“Is this Sarah or Debbie?” asked another, sharing an image of Cain weeping over a mystery grave, from this year’s still-to-play-out flashforward.
Is Sarah’s health about to take a turn for the worse?
What’s wrong with Sarah? A brief history of her medical issues
Sarah was only six when she was diagnosed with fanconi anemia. This rare blood disorder causes bone marrow failure and means that Sarah has a much shorter life expectancy than most.
More recent health issues included Sarah’s diagnosis with throat cancer in 2017 and heart failure the following year. Sarah weathered both, thanks to extensive treatment and a heart transplant.
However, her underlying health issues could re-emerge at any time – as Sarah is all-too aware.
