Amelia Spencer

Amelia Spencer is the daughter of Ali Breckle and Daz Spencer although for eleven years of her life, it was believed she was Daz's brother Dan's daughter, although Amelia still considers Dan as her father and refers to him as such. In October 2022, Amelia became a mother at the age of sixteen when she gave birth to her daughter, Esther.
==Biography==
Unlike her older brother Sean, Amelia never had a problem with her mother's relationship with Ruby Haswell, and has only shown love and support to them as well as to Dan's relationship with Kerry Wyatt. Kerry's fractured relationship with her own daughter Amy leads her to think the world of Amelia.
Amelia develops a strong belief in God, which is tested by events like the death of her goldfish or the serious injuries her brother Sean sustains in a car accident.
Amelia is deeply upset when her mother Ali's girlfriend Ruby dies from injuries sustained in a helicopter crash. Ali, Amelia's auntie Rachel and Rachel's son Archie make plans to move to Liverpool to start over and be closer to Sean, but Amelia decides she wants to stay in the village with her father Dan Spencer and his partner Kerry Wyatt. Kerry didn't have a very good relationship with her own daughter Amy which makes her think the world of Amelia. Dan, Kerry and Amelia then start to become a family with Amelia making regular visits to see Ali.
In 2018, when Ali dies, Kerry becomes the main motherly figure in Amelia’s life. Dan's brother Daz Spencer breaks the news to Amelia, which makes Dan mad and he argues with Daz. Daz then decides to go out and get drunk but Kerry finds him and he tells her that Dan has no right to not let him be a part of Amelia's life and Kerry explains that Dan is Amelia's dad and he can do what he wants. A drunk Daz then becomes angry and tells Kerry that there is chance he is Amelia's dad and this is proved when a DNA test shows that now eleven year old Amelia is not Dan's daughter but she is the daughter of Dan's brother Daz. After being informed by Dan of her actual parentage, she gets upset and goes missing, presumably running away. Her biological father Daz came under suspicion by the police after messages were found on Amelia's social media sent to and from a person using a username related to his army past. She was later spotted on CCTV accompanied by a hooded person the police believed to be female. These confirmed she was alive after being missing for around two weeks. She was later seen to be living with this mystery person, a teen/young woman named Beth who appears to have been looking after her and had previously talked to Amelia over the chatroom. Beth showed manipulative behaviour, convincing Amelia her family wouldn't care about her so that Amelia wouldn't call them.
Amelia’s daughter is is conceived in early 2022 when at only fifteen years old, she get to drunk at a party which leads to her and Samson Dingle having sex. In July 2022, fifteen year old Amelia finds out she is pregnant when she collapses while babysitting Thomas Tate. This leads to both Amelia and Thomas having to go hospital to be checked over. The doctor then informs a shocked Amelia that she is pregnant. Thomas’s mother Gabby Thomas was furious at Amelia for dropping her son and evicts her and Dan from their home.
Amelia begins visiting her friend Noah Dingle in prison and confides in him that she is pregnant. Initially Amelia doesn’t know what she wants to do and is seen by Noah’s mother Charity Dingle outside of the baby clinic. Amelia tells Charity that she was with a friend who was unsure weather or not to she wanted to keep her baby but Charity sees through Amelia’s lies and eventually Amelia comes clean that she is the one who is pregnant. Charity hugs Amelia and tells her everything will be okay. Charity then goes with Amelia into the doctors office while they discuss what Amelia is going to do; however Charity is shocked to discover how far along Amelia is in her pregnancy and informs her that a termination would be a medical procedure. The doctor then asks how Charity and Amelia know each other and Amelia says she visits Charity’s son in prison. A socked Charity then believes that her son is the baby’s dad, but Amelia tells her that Noah is not the father. Charity then gets distressed and asks Amelia if she became pregnant due to assault, however Amelia reassures her that the sex between her and the baby’s father was consensual.
Noah gets out of gets out of prison on the 28th July 2022 and continues to support Amelia through her pregnancy after she decides to keep the baby; which eventually causes the pair to become close and get into a relationship (which infuriates Dan). However, Amelia is still reluctant to say who the father of the baby is but Noah tells her that he will raise the baby as his own. Samson begins teasing Noah about being in a relationship with Amelia but Noah says to leave Amelia alone because she has a lot of things going on. Not knowing what Noah means, Samson continues to tease the pair and Noah thinks that it is because Samson is jealous. After an argument, Samson tells Noah he is not jealous of him and Amelia because he has already had sex with her. A furious Noah then blurts out that Amelia is pregnant - understanding that Samson must be the father. Samson then goes looking for Amelia who is furious with Noah for telling Samson she was pregnant. Samson tells Amelia she has to have an abortion as he has plans for his future, with Noah also telling Samson that Amelia had plans for her future as well. Samson is shocked to learn Amelia has already had a scan and Amelia tells him that she has had two and felt the baby kick. This causes a huge scene between the three of them, causing Amelia to confess the fact she is pregnant to Dan, Samson’s father Sam Dingle and Sam’s wife Lydia Dingle. Initially Dan believes Noah is the baby’s father and is furious however Noah states that the baby is not his and with Amelia looking at Samson; they all soon come to the realisation that he is the father, much to the disappointment of Sam and Lydia. While at home, Sam tells Samson that he needs to face up to his responsibilities and be a father once the baby is born. Through the corse of her pregnancy, Noah continues to attend the baby scan appointments with Amelia. After Amelia’s pregnancy is discovered, Gabby let’s the family move back into their home.
Amelia goes into labour on the 17th October 2022, with Noah and Charity by her side. Noah tries to help Amelia with breathing exercises but this infuriates Amelia and she tells Noah to leave the room and Charity tells him to do something useful. Noah then helps the villagers search for Samson after a storm hits Emmerdale, and he no where to be found. While in labour and with Dan not answering his phone, Amelia tells Charity she needs Kerry to be with her - Charity manages to find Kerry just in time and Amelia soon gives birth to a baby daughter with Charity and Kerry by her side. Noah and Dan arrive after the birth but Noah goes back out looking for Samson. Dan tells Amelia they should look at a baby name website but Amelia informs him that she has already chosen the baby’s name - Esther - which means “Star”. Later that Day, Noah and Mackenzie Boyd find Samson under a bridge and he is taken to hospital. While in hospital, Sam and Lydia encourage Samson to meet his daughter and Amelia asks him if he likes the name Esther - which Samson agrees he likes. While in the room with his daughter, everyone thinks Samson has fallen in love with her but Samson tells Esther that he is only there because he was forced to and he doesn’t want to be her dad so he won’t let her ruin his life.
