Emmerdale legend Emma Atkins quizzed on her future as Charity Dingle

Emmerdale legend Emma Atkins has opened up on what the future holds for her character Charity Dingle.

As Emmerdale fans know, it has been a whirlwind few years for Charity. She has been involved in a love triangle between Mackenzie Boyd and Chloe Harris.

At a recent Emmerdale media event, Emma was quizzed about how things are faring between Charity and Mack, to which she responded: "Yeah, probably that's why we haven't been doing much stuff because we're on an even keel.

“It's quite good, it's comfortable and steady. It's quite functional which is unheard for Charity but it's allowed us all to have a bit of a breather.

"In fact, we've been blessed with two years of awesome and consistent storylines so I think we're just doing our own thing. Mack is doing a lot with Aaron (Dingle, played by Danny Miller) so it's been good to do some Dingle stuff."

Fans will remember Charity’s taboo relationship with her cousin Cain Dingle. He is the father to her daughter Debbie Dingle. Acting star Emma said she’s never ruled out revisiting that storyline.

She admitted: "Wouldn't it be nice. I do love the old school Cain and Charity but we all know that time moves on.”
