Emmerdale Samson Dingle exit ‘sealed’ as family member betrays him in huge twist

Emmerdale’s Moria Barton is set to be left fuming in the upcoming episodes as Samson Dingle drops a shocking revelation.

The Dingle clan has been in turmoil recently following Matty Barton’s incarceration after he was accused of stabbing Samson.

The tension escalated when Josh and Matty’s feud took a violent turn, leading to Samson being accidentally stabbed by Matty. Samson then misled his family and the authorities, claiming that Matty had intentionally stabbed him.

This caused a rift between Samson’s father, Sam, and his uncle Cain Dingle, who is also Matty’s stepfather. While Moira and Cain have sided with Matty, Sam and his wife Lydia are supporting Samson, believing his version of events.

However, in a surprising twist, Samson announces his plans to leave the village while Matty’s safety hangs in the balance. On Monday (July 8), an enraged Moira learns about Josh and Samson’s plan to embark on their European trip earlier than planned and vows to prevent them.

A confrontation ensues at the Dingles’ where Moira accuses Sam of allowing Samson to leave early. Despite initially defending his son, Sam eventually agrees to let Samson go, promising that he will return before the trial.

But Moira is determined to stop him from leaving.

Meanwhile, Matty is in high spirits after discovering that his cellmate Les has accepted him as a trans man and he’s eager to share the news with Amy during her visit.

Matty also has hope of being released after he gets a new solicitor, leaving Amy pleased to see Matty in a more positive mood.

However, when their visit ends, she watches Matty leave and is approached by Robbo, who she mistakes for Les.

Sadly, Robbo’s sympathetic act gets the truth about Matty from Amy, who is unaware of the danger she has now put her husband in.

When Matty returns to his cramped cell and Les leaves to see his solicitor, Robbo arrives, sparking fear into Matty when he realises the thug has spoken to his wife.

But back in his prison cell, Matty is trapped and terrified when Robbo reveals he’s learnt the truth and the menacing transphobe closes in on him. Meanwhile, an upbeat Amy arrives home to tell them about Matty’s positive attitude.

Later in the week, things worsen for Matty while Amy and Moira wonder why they’ve not heard from him.

After witnessing Josh threatening Samson and pressuring him to continue lying to the police, Lydia could suspect Samson is hiding something. But after meeting with Moira, will Lydia agree to help her?
