Emmerdale's Samson Dingle's blackmailing exposed leading to dramatic exit

Samson Dingle has seemingly made an exit from Emmerdale - as his blackmailing plan was exposed.

The teenager has been blackmailing Noah, telling his fellow teenager to hand over money on the promise he will leave Amelia and their baby Esther alone. Amelia and Samson had a one night stand, leading to the arrival of Esther but Noah has since taken on the father duties for the baby and, in his insecurities that Amelia might get back with Samson, decided to pay his nemesis off.

Samson has slowly been extracting the money off Noah, which was meant to be for baby Esther and it all came to a head this evening when the rest of the village - including Samson's father Sam found out about his crime.

After finding out what happened between Samson and his cousin Noah, an angry Sam told his son he didn't want him around anymore and that he needed to find somewhere else to live if he didn't pay back the money.

He refused to give it back, instead chucking the keys at his dad before confirming he had already packed and would be leaving his dad's house. It remains to be seen whether he has left the Dales for good, or whether he'll pay the money back and stay.

Things have been tense between Noah and Samson for weeks, amid Noah's fear that Samson is getting too close to Amelia. Desperate for him and Amelia to stick, Noah has offered to put aside money for Esther and pay for her care whilst Amelia gets back to school.

However, it looks like things aren't too great for Amelia and Noah as she told him she wanted a "clean break" tonight after Noah's mum Charity marched round to Amelia's house and told her she should be grateful Noah wanted to support her.

It appears that things could all be over for the pair, as actress Daisy Campbell recently explained how betrayed she feels about both Samson and Noah and their actions, especially with Samson as she really thought he cared.

"Amelia has been a bit oblivious over what's happening, but when it all comes out, she gets so annoyed! Over the past few weeks, Amelia has felt happy after seeing Samson finally putting some effort in with her and baby Esther. She thought that was Samson doing a nice thing for once, but obviously he's only been doing it to get money out of Noah," she told Digital Spy.

"When Noah finally tells Amelia, he's scared over her reaction and she gets so annoyed with him. She trusted Noah and she took a chance on him when everyone was telling her not to go near him. Now she's had it thrown back in her face and she feels betrayed."
