The pub was ruined in a horrifying Christmas Day explosion, and as the insurance failed to pay out for the damage and the deal with Al fell through, Chas and Marlon Dingle were left with no other choice but to turn to auction to raise the money.
The pair had been hoping to sell the pub to Al but investor Gavin pulled out, leaving him with not enough capital to purchase it.
During tonight's episode of the hit ITV soap it seems eagle-eyed viewers were right as Ryan and Charity were revealed as the new owners.
Ryan had recently been given some inheritance money after the death of his adoptive mother Irene.
At the Auction House there was tension from the Emmerdale villagers as the auctioneer prepares to start.
Just as the auctioneer is ready to sell the Woolpack to the highest bid, Cain shoots up his hand and bids.
It’s tense for Moira who is relieved when Cain is outbid by an online.
After an anonymous bid at auction left the Dingles unsuccessful in keeping the pub, or so they thought, they were worried over who might have been the bidder.
They were soon told to meet them outside the burned out pub, leaving Chas, Al, Marlon and Paddy suspicious.
Chas is fearful who the mystery buyer is however was left speechless to find out her cousin Charity and son Ryan were the new owners.
Just before finding out Kim showed up at the pub just as the others had gathered to meet the new owner, leaving them convinced she was their new boss.
As everyone began to gill Kim claiming she bought the pub Charity turned up and said: "Sorry I'm late guys. Chas?"
As Charity tried to speak, Chas told her: "Shut up will you, I'm trying to find out who bought the pub."
Charity suddenly screamed out: "It's me you daft cow," before adding: "Sorry, we are, we are the new owners of The Woolpack... surprise!"
Everyone was left gobsmacked by the announcement but viewers were delighted to see the pair as the new pub owner.
