As the truth about his identity spreads like wildfire, Matty Barton's world is turned upside down in the upcoming episodes of Emmerdale. Being transgender in prison is not an easy feat, and things are about to get even more difficult for Matty as a fellow cellmate targets him for being who he is.
Matty has always been careful to keep his true self hidden, ever since he was sent to prison for accidentally stabbing Samson Dingle. He knew that in a place like this, being different could put a target on his back. But recently, he found an unexpected ally in a man named Les. Opening up about his past and his journey, Matty was relieved to find someone who listened and tried to understand.
Les promised to keep his secret safe, but warned him that not everyone in the prison would be so kind. And unfortunately, one of those people turned out to be Robbo, who only found out about Matty's identity through a mistake made by Amy Wyatt. She mistook him for Les and fell for Robbo's manipulations, revealing Matty's biggest secret without realizing the consequences.
As a new week begins, tensions rise between Lydia and Sam as they have different opinions on how to handle the situation with Samson. Lydia believes he should come clean and face the consequences, while Sam wants him to escape justice. Actress Karen Blick, who plays Lydia, shared, "She's been in a similar situation before and knows that it's not the right thing to do. Matty needs to be released from prison and Samson needs to face the consequences."
Robbo's confrontation with Matty only adds to the fear and danger that Matty is facing in prison. And as Lydia tries to intercept Samson's secret getaway, things get heated between her, Sam, and Cain. Meanwhile, Matty is left alone in his cell, shaking with fear as he tries to block out the transphobic abuse from other inmates.
Actor Sam Hall, who plays Sam, shared his thoughts on his character's actions, saying, "You imagine the audience screaming at the TV, 'Just tell the truth, just do what's right.' But there's a tiny bit of sympathy for Sam, who is terrified of the consequences and feeling immense pressure and guilt." He also acknowledged that Matty deserves more sympathy in this situation.
As all of this unfolds, the question remains: what's next for Matty? Will he find a way to survive in prison and come out on the other side? Only time will tell as the drama continues to unfold.
