Who is Seb White in Emmerdale, who are his parents and why are they at war?
Seb White is one of the cutest children in Emmerdale with their parents on the fence about who will get custody. But what else do we know about the adorable tot?
SEB White is one of the cutest kids in soap so it’s no wonder his parents BOTH want him living with them.
But who ARE the tot’s parents and why are they battling over the baby?
Let’s find out…
Who is Seb White in Emmerdale?
Sebastian White, better known as Seb, is the son of Rebecca White and Robert Sugden in Emmerdale.
He was conceived in February 2017 while Aaron Dingle was serving time in prison and Robert was unable to cope.
Robert got drunk and called his ex Rebecca over. The pair ended up having a drunken one-night stand.
After finding out she was pregnant, Robert wanted Rebecca to have a termination, saying it was a drunken mistake and he didn’t want it ruining his relationship with Aaron.
Rebecca was torn but in the end couldn’t go through with the abortion, forcing Robert to confess to Aaron that he’d cheated.
Aaron was devastated and – despite initially forgiving Robert – realised after seeing a scan picture that he could never come to terms with Robert having a child with someone else.
Seb was born prematurely on November 9 2017. Robert was instantly smitten with the baby but, when Rebecca’s family discovered that he was plotting to steal Home Farm from them, she banned him from seeing his son.
Rebecca planned to flee to Australia with the rest of the White family but Chrissie and Lawrence were killed in a car crash caused by Lachlan. Rebecca was also in the smash but escaped with her life. However she now has a brain injury which affects her memory and ability to care for her son.
Seb has been living with Robert and Aaron at The Mill for most of the year.
Why are Rebecca and Robert at war over Seb?
Rebecca – played by Emily Head – wants to start a new life with her boyfriend Ross Barton away from the village.
Both Ross and Rebecca have suffered life-changing injuries this year and want to put the past behind them by moving to Liverpool.
They planned to take their children Seb and Ross’ son Moses with them but Moses’ mum Charity Dingle and Robert Sugden both objected.
Robert told Rebecca that there was no way Seb was leaving with her, making Rebecca question her decision as she can’t face moving away without her son.
