Emmerdale’s Gail Loman takes risky decision as she bonds with son Oscar
GAIL Loman found out her son Oscar is in need of a donor for a bone marrow transplant.
The Emmerdale favourite makes a risky move as she unexpectedly bonds with the lad. How will it play out?
Sophie (Martha Cope) rocked up the ITV village earlier this year and reached out to Gail (Rachael Gill-Davis) with devastating news about her biological son Oscar.
Since then, Gail and her partner Ryan Stocks (James Moore), who is also the father of her baby, have been warming up to the idea of getting to know Oscar and helping him.
The thirteen-year-old, played by Harley Hamilton, was said to be in need of a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with aplastic anaemia and Sophie has been trying to get him the perfect match.
Coming up next week, Ryan’s devastated when he receives the news that he’s not a match for Oscar.
Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) comforts a crushed Ryan but the relief is palpable when a frantic Gail rushes in to announce that, against all the odds, she and Oscar are a match.
The following day, Gail prepares to see Oscar ahead of the surgery but Ryan worries about meeting his son for the first time.
At the hospital, Gail and Oscar get on a storm but an awkward Ryan hangs back feeling the odd one out.
When the conversation turns to music, relieved Ryan finds a way in.
Watching on, Sophie is conflicted about the bond that is starting to form.
Back at the Woolpack, Marlon reminds Gail to tread carefully around Oscar’s adoptive mother Sophie.
