In the upcoming episodes of Emmerdale, viewers will witness Sam and Lydia Dingle facing a huge disagreement that could potentially put their marriage at risk. The situation revolves around Matty Barton, who is currently in prison for accidentally stabbing Samson Dingle. It all started when Matty's friend Josh pushed him into Samson, causing the unfortunate incident. Both Samson and Josh have backed up each other's stories, leaving Matty in a vulnerable position in prison.
Moira Dingle, desperate to keep her son safe, pleaded with Samson to tell the truth. However, instead of confessing, he reported his own mother for kidnapping him. As a result, Matty is facing a tough time in prison. While Sam stands firmly behind his son, Lydia has started to have doubts after a conversation with Moira. Actress Karen Blick, who plays Lydia, shared, "There's a scene where Samson is released from the police station and Lydia starts to have these niggles, these concerns. She has a conversation with Moira in the village and Moira pleads with her, saying, 'You know the truth. You need to get Samson to admit it.'"
Lydia begins to question the situation and wonders if Matty's version of events is true. She confronts Sam and says, "I love you, I believed you, I fought your corner every step of the way, but this is serious." Despite knowing that Matty is being targeted in prison, Lydia is worried and wants to protect him. Karen explains, "She's worried, really. It's that wanting to protect, care for, do the right thing. In the same way as Sam does – they just go about it in very different ways."
In a new spoiler video, it becomes clear that Sam has a plan to help Samson escape the danger. He reveals that he has booked a ferry for Samson and even plans to pawn his wedding ring from Samson's mother, Alice, to fund the escape. However, Samson refuses to go along with the plan and insists that they do the right thing. Unfortunately, before their plan can be put into action, Lydia arrives and is clearly disappointed with Sam's actions.
With Sam and Lydia having different ideas on how to handle the situation, the future of their marriage is uncertain. Karen shares, "It's a knee-jerk reaction from Sam's point of view. He feels betrayed by the fact that Lydia made him do the right thing, which is confess that things weren't as they were originally told." Will their marriage survive this crisis?
Karen believes that although Sam and Lydia may say hurtful things to each other, they will eventually make amends. She says, "Words are said and Sam says things like, 'I'll never forgive you for this.' But eventually it'll be water under the bridge." Sam may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he will eventually realize that Lydia did the right thing by making Samson confess. Karen adds, "Sam's only thinking short term, what's best in his mind for his son to not end up in jail. Many years ago, Sam did the same thing and ran away from taking responsibility for his actions, so he sees it as the way to do things. Essentially, he realizes that Lydia's got this covered and she's got Samson to do the right thing. I think they will be fine over time."
