Emmerdale: Samson calls social services

Just a few months ago Samson found out that he was going to be a dad after discovering Amelia’s pregnancy.

He wanted her to get an abortion or put the baby up for adoption, but she refused.

After Amelia gave birth, Samson’s dad Sam and stepmum Lydia thought he would come around.

However when he visited his daughter, he told her he ‘wouldn’t let her ruin his life.’

This week Amelia was able to bring Esther home from the hospital.

In tonight’s episode, Amelia was struggling and started to doubt her capabilities as a mum.

Later she told Lydia that she was taking Esther to college for a meeting and she was up all night with her.

Lydia suggested that she, Sam and Samson look after Esther while she goes away.

However Samson wasn’t happy when Sam and Lydia left Esther alone with him.

When Amelia came to pick her up, he told her she wouldn’t be able to do what she wanted now she has a child and suggested she give her up for adoption.

Amelia was horrified and refused, leaving with her daughter.

Later Amelia told boyfriend Noah what happened and he had a go at Samson for his actions.

Samson pointed out Noah had been to prison and he and Amelia weren’t ideal parents.

But Noah vowed to be the dad that Esther deserves.

As he walked away, Samson called social services and said he thought a baby was being neglected.
