Emmerdale Spoilers: Donald’s daughter makes an unexpected appearance
Lexi is shocked when she overhears that Donald is planning to leave the business. She calls Carl immediately and warns him that the company may be about to be sold. He then wastes no time in confronting Donald with these fears. Donald wonders aloud whether Carl feels the business owes him.
Carl denies this, saying his loyalty is to Donald, who, pleased with this answer, declares that he’s retiring and appointing Carl as the new managing director of De Souzas.
But things change quickly in soapworld. No sooner does Carl feel settled with his new title when in walks someone who threatens to knock him right off his podium.
When a stranger called Anna arrives at the business, Carl mistakenly assumes she’s come for an interview. He’s rattled when this lady seems to know an awful lot about the business and about Donald. Then she drops the bombshell that she’s Donald’s estranged daughter.
What will Donald say when he finds out that Anna has returned and wants to be a part of his life and the business? Will Carl be able to keep his new role now a rival has arrived in town?

Of course, he obliges and this just pushes Katie to become even greedier. Her next suggestion is that they will be able to save money by letting Perdy move back in with them. Is there any way Gray will agree to this?
