Emmerdale fans know that Vanessa’s cancer diagnosis has put huge strain on her relationship with Charity.

A string of tense arguments between the pair recently left fans fearing that they might be heading for splitsville.

The couple had a bust-up at the chemo ward after Charity found the vet sitting with Kerry - who started the fire that killed Vanessa's father.

Vanessa then didn't exactly help matters when she got sozzled in town with Rhona and ended up having a fight with a student in a bar.

Viewers know that the pair’s bickering only got worse when Vanessa asked Rhona - and not Charity - to be Johnny’s guardian if she doesn’t survive her battle with cancer. 

Charity was gutted at the decision and lashed out at Vanessa, telling her it was clear her “feelings don’t matter”.

She then raged: "What you think is what counts. You've made that crystal clear."

And when Vanessa promised that she "loves" Charity, she replied: "Well you've got a funny way of showing it sometimes."

But in scenes set to air this week, the pair are finally set to get a break when they reveal the good news that Charity is planning on adopting Johnny. 

Next week’s episodes of Emmerdale will see Charity go on a rampage when she realises that she needs the permission of Vanessa's ex in order to adopt Johnny.

In upcoming scenes, Charity marches into the HOP office and demands that Priya gives her information on the whereabouts of her ex husband Rakesh Kotecha and his son Kirin - who is Jonny's father.

But Priya insists she has no clue where they are - leaving Charity gutted to have already reached a dead end in her search.

Later, Charity admits to Rhona that she needs Johnny’s father Kirin to agree to the adoption for it to happen, and the pair realise this could be tricky.

Will Vanessa and Charity manage to overcome this huge obstacle?
