Emmerdale fans have been left scratching their heads as they tuned into recent scenes of the ITV soap as Gail Loman’s (Rachael Gill-Davis) secret was finally revealed.
The Woolpack worker gave birth to Ryan Stock’s (Jams Moore) son 13 years ago and recently learned he has a rare type of aplastic anaemia and desperately needed a bone marrow transplant. During Friday’s (September 22) episode, Gail earned she wasn’t a match which meant she needed to ask Ryan to get tested.
After sharing the news, Ryan was left furious that Gail had lied to him by not letting him know that their son’s adoptive mother had been in touch. However, fans were more distracted by the fact he knew about the little boy had been given up for adoption and still gave his mum Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) a hard time when he first arrived in the village.

One person posted: “This secret kid of Ryan and Gail’s makes no actual sense surely Ryan would’ve mentioned this when he met Charity surrounding his adoption not to mention Irene! Wtf! It makes no sense. Another added: “Wait. Ryan gave Charity hell, when he too has given a child up for adoption?”
Someone else wrote: “Wait, WHAT!? So Ryan knows they have a son together? My gosh. He got onto Charity for giving him up, but he also did the same?”. A fourth social media user said: “Hold on a mo didn’t Ryan have a go at Charity for giving him up but now we find out he did the exact same thing?”
Digesting the news, Ryan fumed: “We are not his parents.” She added: “Yeah, we kind of are.”. However, Ryan called what had happened a “mistake” and stated it was the right thing to give him up. Not wanting to see a photo of his son, Gail confessed he’s sick and needs them at this moment in time.

However, Ryan was still reeling over the news and told her to get out immediately. Fans will already know that Ryan is son of Charity and her rapist Mark Balis, however he was later adopted by Irene Stocks, the midwife who delivered him.
Charity was 14 when she discovered she was pregnant for the second time whilst being kept prisoner by police officer Balis, who was sexually abusing her and pimping him out to his friends. Charity assumed Ryan had died at birth but learnt he survived through the police while looking for evidence to prosecute Bails with.
