Emmerdale airs troubling mystery in Chas Dingle collapse in ITVX episode

Despite Chas continuing to endure pain from the aftermath of the limousine accident, she was spotted popping open some pain relievers as Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) and his soon-to-be husband John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) entered the backroom of the Woolpack.

Chas shared that she misplaced her engagement ring, and requested the duo to keep it a secret from her fiancé, Liam Cavanagh (played by Jonny McPherson).

Returning to work post my own accident recovery, I found myself in an unusual predicament, as my former partner, Ella Forster (Paula Lane), was the receptionist at the clinic. Chas encouraged me to navigate this tricky situation optimally, reminding me that every challenge presents opportunities for growth.

While John found himself unexpectedly free from his medical duties, he persisted in trying to convince Chas despite noticing her discomfort at his proposal to Aaron. This way, the sentence is easier to read and understand, maintaining the original meaning.

Chas declined John’s invitation to assist with the pub’s deliveries, and he shared his dilemma about winning over Chas’s appreciation with his half-sister Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins).

John was urged by Vic to practice patience, as it was emphasized that Chas highly appreciates loyalty. It’s suggested that he focuses his efforts on Aaron instead.

Since John was determined to speak with Chas once more, he and Victoria made their way to The Woolpack. Upon arrival, they discovered an unconscious Chas, who had hit her head after collapsing just moments prior, bleeding from a head wound.

In a hurry, John hastened to assist Chas, who ended up being admitted to the hospital. However, when Liam learned about the startlingly high amounts of codeine detected in Chas’s body, he was deeply shocked, yet she insisted that she had been following her doctor’s orders regarding the medication.

According to what Liam shared with the doctor, he too had been keeping track of Chas’s consumption. Thus, it was ultimately determined that she hadn’t overdosed in a traditional sense, but rather, she had ingested something in an unusual manner that led to her condition.

Has Chas been spiked, and if so, by who?

Next week’s hints indicate that a determined Ella will strive to clear her name, accusing Chas of being an addict. However, questions arise as to whether Ella herself is hiding the truth, or if the mysterious John could be involved in these events.

It’s yet unclear if John can harm Chas, but we’re struggling to have faith in him.
