Emmerdale: Ryan and Gail’s secret love child

Last night, Gail asked Chas if she could have a few hours off of work, pretending that she needed an emergency dentist appointment.

However, she then headed to the Allotment and met up with a woman named Sophie.

She told her that she wasn’t supposed to be in touch with her but Sophie said that she needed someone to talk to.

Sophie then told Gail that her 13-year-old, adopted son – Oscar – was very ill. The prognosis was only good if he gets a transplant.

Sophie wasn’t suitable to give Oscar the bone marrow, but she hoped that Oscar’s birth mum – Gail – could get tested to see whether she was a match.

If Gail wasn’t a match, Sophie wanted to see if Oscar’s birth father – Ryan – was a match.

Gail then pretended that she wasn’t in touch with Ryan and that she would help Sophie support Oscar herself.

After their meet-up, Gail then messaged Sophie and agreed to go and have a test done the next day.
