Emmerdale star Dominic Brunt hints at worrying twist in Chas and Paddy's baby storyline

Emmerdale actor Dominic Brunt has hinted that something could go wrong as Paddy and Chas tentatively await the scan of their baby.

The couple were left heartbroken last year after discovering that their baby daughter Grace had a rare genetic disorder which meant that she wouldn't be able to survive out of the womb,

During Chas' 20-week scan she found out that her baby had bilateral renal agenesis, meaning that Grace's lungs would fail to develop properly.

So it is unsurprising that Chas and Paddy are nervous about going to the first scan during her current pregnancy.

Speaking on This Morning today via videolink ahead of the British Soap Awards, Dominic was asked about the baby Grace storyline and its big impact on viewers.

"There's a huge sense of responsibility to get it right," he said.

Meanwhile Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas, said that the storyline "touched so many people" and added: "It had helped people talk about friends, family."

Asked whether the pair would be able to find happiness now, Dominic didn't seem so sure and said: "We hope so."

But actress Lucy Pargeter confirmed that the scan would go OK for the couple and that it would be positive.

"We believe they get their happy ending," Paddy said.
