When Kerry had the text, it came from sender 'Damon'. So her Chloes Dad is Damon and he lost his wife and his daughter Gemma. A bit messy by the writers because Belles killed her best friend Gemma but I don't think there's a link. I did have the theory that it was Bails however I think Kerry was around when Bails was so if we're to continue to believe viewers know Damon, it must be a character now using a false name.
This character would have to be showing up soon in Classic Emmerdale for him to leave the dales and have 17 year old- ish daughters, if he is as meaningful as were led to believe. Has it been made official that we actually know who her Dad is or have we all just thought we would?!!!
