Vanessa Woodfield will continue to act as a pillar of support for girlfriend Charity Dingle during this evening's episode.
During last night's heartbreaking Emmerdale , Charity opened up about her harrowing ordeal as a pregnant and abused teen. The usually feisty pub landlady, played by Emma Atkins, then revealed that her baby and heartbreakingly died.
However, unbeknownst to Charity, this is not the case and her son was revealed to still be alive.
At the end of the flashback, the nurse who had run after a young Charity (Mica Proctor) returned back to the room the baby had been being resuscitated in.

The doctor standing by the incubator glanced up from his clipboard and said: "He wants to see in the new year with us."
She walked over to the incubator and knelt down to see Charity's baby, who was very much alive.

"Well hello," she said stroking his head. "Welcome to the world little fella. Your mummy got a bit upset but she'll be back soon. I promise."
Only Charity never returned as she thought that he was dead.
So when will he return to the Dales?
It was reported late last year that Charity's long lost son would be returning, but it is not yet known when he could be making an appearance... or whether he is in the village already...
A source told The Sun that Charity's entire world would be "rocked" by his return.
They added: "Things have settled for her in terms of her personal life after three kids and as many husbands but this will change everything again."
