Polly Warcup

Polly Warcup was the wife of Robert Warcup and the neighbour to the Sugden family. Polly and Robert married in 1914 and Polly discovered she was pregnant later that year. However, in 1915, Polly suffered a miscarriage, but the doctor told them that they could try again. In October 1915, Polly discovered she was pregnant again. She, as well as most of the villagers, turned on Maggie Sugden for hiring Hugo Dawson to work at Emmerdale Farm. However, when Hugo saved Ava Bainbridge (who died shortly afterwards) and Ava's daughter Iris Bainbridge from a fire at The Woolpack, the villagers realised they were wrong about Hugo. On Christmas Eve, Polly went into labour, and Maggie and Rose Haywood assisted. The baby got stuck and Polly worried the baby would die, but Maggie and Rose managed to free her and a healthy baby girl was born. However, they were all shocked to discover Polly was having twins - and the named them Margaret and Rose after Maggie and Rose.
