The latest episode of Emmerdale was packed with drama for the Dingle family as Samson finally confessed the truth about what happened with Matty Barton. Emmerdale fans believe they have figured out how Samson Dingle’s storyline will unfold after his revelation led to the arrests of Moira and Mackenzie Boyd. Samson’s stepmom, Lydia Dingle, convinced him to come clean, but his confession brought its own set of troubles.
As Friday’s episode concluded, Samson broke down in tears, fearful of his future and the possibility of going to prison for lying. “Dad, please, I was scared, and I didn’t want to go to prison,” Samson sobbed. Sam shouted back, “But it was okay for Matty?” Samson continued, “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.” Lydia intervened, “You have been lying to us and the police for weeks.” Samson pleaded, “I am sorry,” to which Lydia ordered, “Then fix it.”
Panicked about the repercussions, Samson worried, “Josh will come after me. Cain will kill me.” Sam, seeing no other option, told him to flee the village, “Run. Get away from here. It is the only way I can help you.” This leaves viewers questioning whether Samson will flee or if his conscience will make him stay. If he does leave, Matty will be wrongly framed for a crime he didn’t commit.
Fans took to social media to express their outrage at Sam’s advice and his betrayal of the Dingle family. “No, don’t tell him that, Sam. We want justice,” one fan pleaded. Another said, “Samson, lad, run. It’s the Dingle way.” A third added, “I’m glad Samson has finally told the truth for Matty’s sake.” Someone else fumed, “Sam, what kind of stupid advice is that? Run, Samson, run!” A fifth remarked, “Fantastic advice,” while another pointed out, “Samson needs to face up to what he’s done. Running is not the answer. Sam is an idiot.”
Meanwhile, tensions continued to rise at Home Farm between Kim Tate and Rose Jackson. This came after Kim covered for Billy when baby Evan was rushed back into the hospital. With everyone turning against Kim, she finally confessed to her husband, Will, about what really happened.
