Emmerdale’s Chas Dingle, played by Lucy Pargeter, could be in for a surprise pregnancy plot twist, but fans are convinced that Liam Cavanagh isn’t the father.
Chas has been a central character in the Dales since 2003 and has been involved in numerous major storylines on the ITV soap. From affairs to battling cancer, her life in the village has been anything but dull.
Recently, she shared a passionate kiss with Liam (Jonny McPherson), who is currently in a relationship. Fans may remember that Chas and Liam had a brief romance earlier this year during Chas’ fight with cancer. However, he has since reconnected with his ex, Ella Forster (Paula Lane).
During last week’s episode, Liam cheated on Ella with Chas, leading to a heated exchange at the back of the pub. Determined not to be the “other woman,” Chas insisted that Liam break up with Ella.

He eventually did, leaving Ella heartbroken and confused. In Monday’s episode (November 4), Chas and Liam decided to keep their relationship under wraps, reports Leeds Live.
But in a potential shocking turn of events, fans believe that Chas could be pregnant. Adding more intrigue to the storyline, viewers speculate that Liam is not the father of the baby.
On a buzzing Reddit thread, one user speculated: “Who thinks Chas is gonna pregnant with her and Liam’s baby lol.” Soap fans then chimed in with their two pence. Another eagle-eyed fan pointed out: “The actress is 47, still possible for her to still get pregnant but obviously decreasingly likely each year. Soap land is never one for scientific accuracy.”

Another enthusiast chimed in with agreement: “I think it’s very likely.” The plot thickens as other sleuthing viewers voiced their suspicion that Liam might not be the patriarch-in-waiting. A curious viewer pondered: “What if the dad is someone else though?”
This theory got a response from another, imagining: “Paddy? That would be a huge twist. Maybe off-screen and drunk? ” Yet another said: “Could do. Not sure if he would do that to Mandy though,” while another was totally on board: “I would be so here for this!”

Chatting with Digital Spy earlier this year, Lucy Pargeter the actress behind Chas opened up about her storyline with Liam, sharing: “I think she’s probably going back to what she knows because of the fear of going forward with somebody new.”
“But it’ll be interesting to see if it does go anywhere. I think Liam and Chas make an interesting couple. When Paddy was with Chas, a lot of people said that they weren’t a good match.I think Liam’s quite different to Chas but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. They could be a good match.”
