After first meeting in 2017 while working on Emmerdale, Lydia and Sam Dingle got married three years ago in front of their loved ones. But may a divorce be on the horizon for the couple?
One of the most solid couples in the community is Sam and Lydia Dingle, who are portrayed by James Hooton and Karen Blick on Emmerdale.
Sam nearly lost his life last October when he was impaled by a tractor spike during a storm that tore through the Yorkshire Dales. They had gone through a lot together.
He eventually made a full recovery from his horrific wounds, and Lydia was there to support him.
He has, however, had misgivings about Craig Reed, the newcomer to the community and a childhood friend of Lydia’s (Ben Addis).
He has no idea that earlier this month, in horrifying images shown on the ITV serial, Craig sexually assaulted Lydia at work. She didn’t tell anyone.
Sam hasn’t heard about Lydia’s ordeal since she’s worried about his response.
The Lydia actor Karen remarked of Lydia’s fear that her marriage to Sam, her absolute universe, and the Dingle family, which means so much to Lydia, may disintegrate as a result of the sexual assault in an interview with Express.co.uk.
She was raised in a foster home, alone, and in many ways estranged from her own family, so the Dingles are her entire world.
When Lydia was a teenager, she became pregnant with Craig’s child when they were both residents of a children’s home.
When Craig initially came in Emmerdale, she told him about losing their kid.
Before he took advantage of Lydia and raped her, the two were becoming closer.

While Lydia was battling in quiet, he was behaving as if nothing had happened.
It’s incredibly challenging, and in some ways, I think the parts where we see Lydia with Craig after the incident were more challenging to film than the attack itself.
“Lydia is in a truly horrific situation, and we can see the cost and effect of keeping this ordeal a secret,” she continued.
