Emmerdale’s Chas Dingle is left fighting for her life next week as she collapses in the pub, with viewers now speculating who or what is behind her health scare
A shocking turn of events awaits Chas Dingle in the upcoming episodes of Emmerdale, leading fans to speculate about the cause.
In upcoming scenes, Chas collapses and injures her head at the pub, prompting John Sugden to rush to his future mother-in-law’s aid. The incident occurs shortly after a heated exchange with Ella Forster, her love rival.
The tension arises following Chas’ engagement party with Liam Cavanagh, Ella’s former partner. However, later in the week, Chas unexpectedly faints at the pub, hitting her head as she falls.
Fans have proposed two main theories regarding the cause of this medical emergency. Some viewers have been concerned for Chas’ health since she sustained a back injury in a limousine accident.
In several scenes, she complained of persistent back pain, even weeks after the crash, and has been taking painkillers ever since. This has led some to suspect that an addiction storyline might be forthcoming, reports the Mirror.

Others have speculated about a potential health-related plotline due to her previous cancer diagnosis. However, fans now believe a specific character may be responsible for her predicament.
John is keen to win over Chas, but their relationship is strained. Given that Chas disapproves of her son Aaron Dingle’s new partner, could John take drastic measures?
He’s desperate for her approval and has shown signs of frustration with Chas recently.
One speculation circling among viewers is that John could be targeting Chas, with the audience suspecting he might be a murderer after Nate Robinson’s clandestine killing. People are now questioning whether Chas is next in line, or if John is simply trying to gain her confidence by drastic means.
There’s talk of John potentially inducing Chas’ imminent health scare to emerge as her saviour, as the speculation states: “I hope Chas is OK I bet someone put something in her drink, John probably pretending to try and save her.”

If this conjecture holds water, it implies that John has intentionally endangered Chas to appear like her knight in shining armour, sparking queries about whether he is capable of such deceit. Alternatively, some wonder if John’s actions are vengeful, prompted by Chas’ lack of support for his proposal plans with Aaron.
Another theory from fans is that Chas could fall pregnant with Liam’s child. Fans wondered if this was the cause of her recent pain, and have speculated that this could easily be the cause behind her upcoming collapse.
Answers are anticipated in this week’s episodes as the storyline unfolds!
