Emmerdale fans horrified as Charity Dingle forgets granddaughter Sarah’s birthday

EMMERDALE fans are disgusted after Charity Dingle forgot about her granddaughter Sarah’s birthday.

The neglectful mother – who is played by actress Emma Atkins in the ITV soap – was so pre-occupied feeling sorry for herself about her pervert son Noah that she totally ignored Sarah.

Sarah returned home and found Charity still focusing on Moses – and decided to keep her birthday to herself.

Checking how her nephew was doing, Charity told Sarah: “He’s upset, angry and very confused – just like the rest of us. Are you going out?”

Fuming that Charity still hadn’t realised what day it was, Sarah snapped: “What is this 20 questions? 

“I just said I’d meet Samson. And if I did want to kick a football around, it’s not going to break the fabric of the universe – it’s 2022.”

But as Sarah went upstairs, her phone went off with messages about her secret birthday party.

Charity grabbed it and confronted her granddaughter.

“What party is this? And who are all these people and what does half of that even mean? Sarah you can’t be drinking. You’ve got to be super careful, you’ve had a heart transplant and you’re on a zillion meds as it is.”

Sarah hit back: “So what? I’m still alive, aren’t I? And what do you care – you’ve been practically ghosting me in my own house. 

“You haven’t known where I am half the time and now you want to play the big responsible adult. 

“I’ll tell you what’s not fair Charity – you trying to lay down the law and pretending you suddenly give a stuff about me. All because you’re twisted with guilt about Noah. 

“It was my birthday yesterday. I’m 17 years old and more than capable of looking after myself.”

Charity tried apologising but Sarah pointed out she had had to raise herself calling her a nightmare.

And viewers were sickened by Charity’s behaviour.

One wrote: “Sarah tells Charity she forgot her birthday and Charity still has nothing to say? She’s appalling. Can’t believe people defend her so much.”

A second said: “The fact that Sarah won’t have many birthdays and it seems the only person who remembered was her mother in Scotland is horrific. I’ve no idea why people remotely like Charity. It must only be the Vanity obsession.”

Another added: “Did debbie not fancy calling her family to remind them of sarah’s birthday?”
