fans are speculating about a potential pregnancy plot twist for Sarah Sugden, with fans suggesting that Jacob Gallagher may not be the father.
Actress Katie Hill has portrayed Sarah since 2017, taking over from Sophia Amber Moore who played the role from 2007 to 2016. As the offspring of Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) and Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb), Sarah’s life in the Dales has been anything but dull.
Sarah’s character has faced numerous health challenges due to a diagnosis of Fanconi anaemia, a rare genetic disease she discovered she had at just six years old. This led to her requiring both a life-saving bone marrow transplant and a heart transplant.
Despite these health struggles, Sarah’s storyline has recently taken a positive turn as she grows closer to Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant).
After a brief disagreement, Sarah was invited by Jacob’s colleagues to join them for drinks at The Woolpack. The pair managed to reconcile their differences, and it was revealed in Thursday’s episode (January 9) that they spent the night together, reports .

However, following comments from Jacob’s mother Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi), Jacob appeared to have second thoughts about his relationship with Sarah, leaving her devastated.
Viewers of the popular show are buzzing with predictions that Sarah will soon reveal a pregnancy storyline, but with a dramatic twistthey suspect Jacob may not be the father. One viewer speculated on a thread: “Do you think Sarah will end up pregnant with Jacob’s baby?”
This triggered agreement amongst fans, with another chipping in: “Most likely. She’s 19 and hasn’t had any children yet, so overdue, plus the village needs a constant supply of new Dingles.”

The plot thickens as followers on a Facebook fan page delve deeper into the theory, suggesting alternative paternity possibilities. A fan questioned: “How long before they say Sarah’s pregnant with child kid?”
Meanwhile, another user hypothesised about a significant plot turn: “Biggest plot twist would be it’s not Jacob’s…”
Speculation extends to one of Jacob’s friends, as someone pointed out: “His friend at the pub?” suggesting a far more complicated scenario ahead.
