Emmerdale fans left fuming as Samson blackmails Noah amid baby Esther scare

ok.co.uk:

Emmerdale viewers were left fuming on Monday night as Samson Dingle continued to blackmail his cousin Noah, over access to his daughter Esther.

Ever since Amelia (Daisy Campbell) welcomed the little girl last year, Samson (Sam Hall) has been adamant he didn’t want to be involved in his daughter’s life - and even previously tried to have her taken into care, so that he wouldn’t have to see her.

Yet in a surprisingly ominous change of pace recently, the young Dingle has started to take a keen interest in his daughter’s life, after hearing that his cousin Noah, (Jack Downham) who is currently dating Amelia, had set up a trust fund in her name worth thousands of pounds.

During Monday’s episode, baby Esther suddenly became unwell while she was being cared for by Samson and cousin Sarah.The poorly tot suffered a seizure as her temperature had reached dangerous levels, prompting the quick thinking dad to call an ambulance after reluctantly having agreed to babysit.Thankfully Esther was able to recover, but thanks to Samson’s quick thinking, his relatives began to heap praise on him as a ‘hero’ for saving the baby, much to Noah’s chagrin.To make matters worse, Samson later returned to the house under false pretences as he pretended he wanted to check on his poorly daughter, but in actuality he had returned in order to extort more money from Noah, who had previously paid him to stay out of Amelia and Esther’s life.
