Emmerdale delivered yet another emotionally charged hour as Sarah Sugden and Gabby Thomas were caught in a terrifying car crash that could have ended in tragedy. But in true soap fashion, the drama didn’t stop at the wreckage — fans are now convinced a secret pregnancy is brewing, and it’s tearing at the heart of one character who longs for motherhood more than anything.

It all began with a simple act of concern. Gabby, still obsessing over looking perfect for her upcoming engagement party with Vinnie Dingle, had been crash dieting for days. When something seemed off with her car, Sarah — fresh out of hospital herself after undergoing a hysterectomy — offered to join her for a quick drive.

But the ride took a sharp turn when Gabby suddenly fainted at the wheel. Her low blood sugar, worsened by extreme dieting, left her unconscious behind the wheel of a moving car. Sarah, still sore from surgery, acted on instinct. She leaned over Gabby, wrestled the wheel, and miraculously brought the car to a stop before it slammed into disaster.

Both women were taken to the hospital, where doctors confirmed Gabby was physically fine but severely undernourished. As Vinnie rushed to her side, panic in his voice, he wrapped her in a desperate embrace. “Never do that to me again,” he pleaded, eyes filled with fear. Gabby admitted her mistake with a somber joke: “Turns out crash dieting can actually make you crash.”

With emotions running high, the couple made the decision to delay their engagement plans until Gabby could fully recover — a moment that should have brought clarity and healing.

But fans watching from home weren’t convinced this was simply a case of poor nutrition. Many took to social media with one loud theory: Gabby is pregnant.

“Okay, so there’s a crash, and then Gabby finds out she’s pregnant,” one fan posted on X. Another added, “So, I think Gabby’s pregnant.” A third speculated, “Still calling it — Gabby’s going to find out she’s expecting eventually.”

And that’s where things get complicated.

If Gabby is indeed carrying Vinnie’s child, how will Sarah react? She’s been vocal about her dream of becoming a mother — a dream complicated, if not shattered, by her medical history and recent surgery. Watching someone so close to her possibly achieve that dream effortlessly, even accidentally, could be devastating.

As the village buzzes with speculation, Emmerdale fans are bracing for what could be an emotionally explosive storyline. Will Gabby discover she’s pregnant after all? Could this be the beginning of new life — and new tension — in the Dales?

And most importantly, how will Sarah navigate the growing distance between her deepest wish and Gabby’s unexpected reality?
