ITV viewers spent several weeks trying to find out who Amelia's baby daddy was when the teen played by Daisy Campbell found out she was pregnant.
Many suspects were called out, including Heath Hope who is rarely seen on screens.
But throughout the weeks, Noah Dingle (Jack Downham) remained at the top of their list until it was made clear he had never been intimate with Amelia despite trying to take advantage of her.
Samson Dingle (Sam Hall) was eventually exposed as the father of Amelia's unborn child in shocking scenes.
Since then, the lad has struggled to make peace with the idea of fatherhood and has recently gone above and beyond to get rid of his own daughter.
Yet fans are still expecting a surprise twist from the Yorkshire-based drama as nothing is ever as it seems in the Dales.
Some of them swarmed over to Twitter asking for proof that Samson really is Esther's father.
"I still can’t believe that they haven’t done a DNA test", one of them penned before adding: "it’s like with Nick and little Sam in Corrie he just took Natasha’s word for it he was the dad."

Another echoed: "That Samson is horrid towards Amelia and Esther why has he become selfish for? I think they need a DNA test because trust me, I still think it's not his."
Despite this, many viewers are enjoying the Samson storyline, deeming it "realistic" and "enjoyable."
"The Samson story is actually an interesting and an important one. And it is being done well", one viewer commented.
"Actually enjoying the Samson storyline. It's reflecting true life and not everyone does the right thing", another fan agreed.

In recent scenes, Samson was seen trying to convince Amelia to give Esther up for adoption after reminding her that she had initially wanted an abortion.
He then went a step further by phoning social services on Amelia in the hopes of getting the tot taken away and ridding himself of his responsibilities.
But acting like a deadbeat father landed him into plenty of trouble with his father Sam and stepmother Lydia Dingle as both are taking their roles as grandparents seriously.
What will Sam be up to next?
