Emmerdale: What happened to Sam?

As the storm hit Emmerdale, a stampeding herd of cows rushed Sam, Belle and Nate.

Sam leapt to safety by jumping over a fence.

Unfortunately, he landed on the prongs of a nearby tractor.

Belle and Nate found Sam, barely conscious and impaled.

Many predicted that Sam would die of his horrific injuries.

However, after surgery, the surgeon told Sam’s wife Lydia that he should make a full recovery.

Emmerdale: Sam leaves fans baffled

Recent scenes on Emmerdale have showed Sam doing very well in spite of his severe injuries.

But fans were baffled at how quickly Sam has recovered considering his accident was only last week.

“Sam out of hospital already, more miracles performed at Hotten General,” laughed one fan.

“I can’t believe that Sam is out of hospital that quick. Had a ruddy great spike through him,” commented another.


“I must say, for someone who got impaled by a tractor, Sam Dingle is a mighty healthy colour. No swelling or bruising on his face, neck, arm or hands. It’s a miracle,” said a disbelieving viewer.

“Is Sam the bionic man? [BLEEP] last week he was impaled on a 8ft long fork. This show is a joke,” another incredulous fan commented.
