Emmerdale‘s Sam and Lydia Dingle could be in trouble next week, as Kim Tate gets the wrong impression over his secretive behaviour. Fans know that Lydia has been taking dance lessons alone, with Sam not wanting to share in his partner’s new hobby.
But far from being unsupportive, Sam has actually been secretly taking dance lessons from Ross Barton in an effort to impress his wife. His secrecy, however, is starting to cause more harm than good.
Sam’s meetings with Ross have left Lydia feeling alone, and this feeling will only increase next week as Sam continues to scuttle off to the dance lessons. He even turns down a cosy evening with his wife, which upsets Lydia further.
At Home Farm, Lydia’s best friend Kim is taken aback to discover that Sam has been lying about working extra hours to avoid spending time with his wife, a fact which leaves her deeply concerned.
With Lydia continuing to feeling estranged from Sam, Kim’s suspicions about his behaviour will continue to grow, and she suspects that he may be unfaithful. Is it only a matter of time before Kim voices her theories to her friend?
“Kim is fiercely protective over Lydia, so she’s fuming when she starts to fear that Sam could be having an affair,” says our Emmerdale insider. “It couldn’t be further from the truth – but Sam isn’t doing himself any favours by sneaking around so much.”
“There’s not much point in a romantic dancing surprise for Lydia if it destroys their marriage,” they explain. “Kim’s theories threaten to make the already-fragile situation even worse. If she speaks up and gives Lydia the wrong idea, all hell could break loose.”
Elsewhere on the ITV soap, the nature of Graham Foster’s involvement with Coronation Street character Jodie Ramsey was recently explained, while Kyle Winchester’s fire-starting act is set to be uncovered.
