Chas comes clean in Emmerdale spoilers

With Cain in hospital, Aaron tries to find out how his uncle is. He asks Chas, who makes it clear she’s not interested in speaking to him at all. Meanwhile, Mack won’t even look at his former partner-in-crime. Mack tells Aaron he deserves everything that’s coming to him.

Elsewhere, Chas is still confiding in Liam over her cancer diagnosis. He urges her to tell her family and not keep it a secret any longer. She finally agrees it’s for the best.

Gathering the family at the pub, everyone is arguing – typical Dingles. Chas then breaks them up by revealing her news. Everyone is shocked, but supportive as they gather round Chas and offer comfort.

However, Aaron keeps his distance. In fact, before long he walks away. He breaks Chas’ heart once again as she realises he intends to leave town.

Chas decides to leave

Later in the week Chas and Paddy sit Eve down to explain Chas’s cancer to her. Chas also talks to Cain about how frightened she is.

Chas decides she needs to get away and tells Paddy she’s leaving – but just for a holiday. She plans to take Eve and Paddy is disappointed that she doesn’t want him to come too.

As the family gather to wave her off, Mandy hands Chas some money from Paddy. When will she be back?

What exactly happened between Aaron and Chas?

Aaron is still grieving for his sister, Liv, whose death he blames on Chas. At the time, Chas was having an affair with Al Chapman and even missed her mum Faith’s death because she was with Al.

Aaron was disgusted when he found out about his mum cheating on her husband – and Aaron’s father figure – Paddy. And when Chas got injured and had to go to hospital, Liv had to go and collect Eve, which caused her to be out in the storm where she was crushed by a caravan.

When Aaron discovered Al had taken his mum to the hospital, he assumed they had been together and the affair was why Liv had died. Despite Chas’s multiple attempts to reconnect with her son, Aaron’s made it clear he has no interest in being part of her life.

Will the cancer diagnosis finally make him change his mind? Or drive them even further apart?
