Emmerdale Shock: Iconic Character Returns to the Village

New Feud Brewing: Gail Loman and Ryan Stocks Desperate to Bond with Son Oscar

Tensions are rising in the Dales as Gail Loman and Ryan Stocks are determined to build a connection with their son, Oscar. And just as Oscar returns to Emmerdale next week, another character makes a surprising comeback to the village.

Ryan Stocks' Paternal Instincts Take Over

Family is everything to the Dingle clan, and Ryan Stocks is no exception. Normally level-headed, Ryan can't help but crack under the weight of his emotions when it comes to his son, Oscar. In an upcoming episode of the ITV soap, tensions rise as Oscar reveals to Gail, Ryan, and Charity that his adoptive mother, Sophie, knows about his visit to the village. Things escalate when Sophie bursts in, angry, and Ryan can't help but retaliate.

Gail Forgives Sophie as Charity Takes Oscar Away

After Charity takes Oscar away to give them some space, Gail surprises Ryan by forgiving a guilty Sophie. Gail reminds Sophie that they're hurt to have been cut off and believes that the decision to see Oscar should be up to him. Meanwhile, Charity is unsure about how much to reveal to Oscar, but with encouragement from Mackenzie Boyd, she decides to keep things simple. Oscar, however, can't resist asking Charity about his father, DI Mark Bails. When he learns the truth, he reassures Charity that he's glad his grandfather is no longer around. After Sophie and Oscar apologize to each other, Sophie agrees to let him see Gail and Ryan again. Will she keep her word?

Heartwarming Twist: Gail and Ryan's Bond with Oscar

Sophie first arrived in the Yorkshire Dales earlier this year with the hope of securing a bone marrow transplant for Oscar, who had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Gail was initially hesitant to tell Ryan, but eventually, she had no choice but to open up to him. In a heartwarming turn of events, both Gail and Ryan were able to connect with Oscar and realized they wanted to be a bigger part of his life. Will they be successful in their efforts, or will Sophie stand in their way?
