ITV Emmerdale split ‘sealed’ as couple get engaged after rushed proposal

Emmerdale viewers could be witnessing new heartbreak next week.

In upcoming scenes, Claudette Anderson unsubtly suggests that vicar son Charles Anderson and partner Manpreet Sharma would make a better impression on the new bishop if they were married.

Things go from bad to worse when Charles ends up implying to the bishop that they do have plans to get wed, leaving the village vicar under pressure to propose.

Later that week, after plucking up the courage, Charles proposes in The Woolpack. The proposal leaves Manpreet utterly bewildered and due to taking place in the pub, the doctor feels pressured to say yes. It’s not long until eager barmaid Gail announces the good news to the rest of the pub.

With Manpreet under pressure to say yes, will the engagement go ahead and if not, could this be a split for the couple? It comes as fans speculated whether Manpreet may have feelings for someone else in the village.

Only recently, doctor Liam Cavanagh shared a charged moment with new receptionist Ella Forster as they flirted while entering the surgery together. However, Manpreet wasn’t impressed with a potential blossoming romance developing between her co-workers as she held a meeting about “appropriate behaviour in the workplace”, making Wendy Posner, who previously had an affair with Liam, listen in too.

Taking to social media at the time, one person said: “Is Manpreet getting jealous about Liam and the receptionist???” to which another account put: “I think manpreet is jealous of Liam and Ella getting closer. I think she fancies Liam herself. #Emmerdale” while a different fan added: “Manpreet looking a bit jealous #Emmerdale.”

Since the meeting, Ella and Liam finally admitted that they like each other as they attended the pub quiz together at The Woolpack, which ended with a kiss. However, the doctor finds himself in a love triangle this week with Ella and former flame Chas Dingle.

Soap fans will recall that earlier this year, doctor Liam embarked on a short-lived romance with Chas, where he discovered a lump in her breast which led to a diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer. Chas, who has since learnt she has the faulty BRCA2 gene and has encouraged her family to get tested, has since undergone a double mastectomy.

In upcoming scenes, following her surgery, Charity Dingle encourages Chas to lay everything on the line in her pursuit of Liam after their spark earlier this year. However, in true soap style, Ella, who spots a tender moment between Liam and Chas, is also motivated to capture Liam’s heart…
