Emmerdale Charity Dingle ‘set for shock new affair’ – and it’s with former flame in village
Emmerdale fans are convinced that Charity Dingle will have an affair with an unexpected resident in the village
Emmerdale viewers are speculating a surprise affair for Charity Dingle, and it’s not with the person you’d expect.
Charity, portrayed by Emma Atkins, has been a mainstay on the soap since 2000. As part of the much-loved Dingle family, she’s been at the centre of numerous major plotlines. From shocking family revelations to prison stints, her life in the Dales has been anything but dull.
She’s also had her fair share of notorious and unforgettable romances. Previously married to Chris Tate (Peter Amory), she ended up having an affair with his sister, Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell). She also had a fling with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and shares a son, Moses, with tough guy Ross Barton (Mike Parr).
Currently, she’s wedded to Mack Boyd (Mackenzie Boyd). However, fans suspect there’s trouble brewing and Charity is on the brink of embarking on a new affair in the Dales, reports Leicestershire Live.
Recently in the soap, Ross made a return, much to Charity’s chagrin. Meanwhile, Charity’s ex-lover Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick) has been left heartbroken.
Fans will remember that Charity, Vanessa, and several other female villagers were involved in a shocking limo crash that resulted in the d.e.a.t.h.s of Amy Barton (Natalie Ann Jamieson), Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi), and Vanessa’s girlfriend Suzy Merton (Martelle Edinborough).
Since their passing, it’s been revealed that Vanessa was intending to propose to Suzy. However, a flashback this week confirmed that Suzy was actually planning to break things off as she was in love with Mary Goskirk (Louise Jameson).
Emmerdale watchers are abuzz with predictions as hints suggest Suzy’s secret might spill out, sparking conjecture that Vanessa could soon find solace with Charity once more. Yet, some viewers believe a twist might come with Charity potentially straying towards Ross. Engaged fans have taken to online forums to debate the future of these tangled romances.
A Reddit user speculated, “So now that Vanessa is single again, and Ross is back on the scene, do Charity and Mac really stand a chance? Who wants to start a book on Charity’s next affair?” The fan theories swiftly multiplied in the comments with one adding, “I reckon she’ll cheat on Mack w Ross. I don’t think it’ll necessarily be a case of her having feelings for him, but they’ll get caught and it’ll break him.”
Others chimed in with some supporting the Ross angle, while another fan envisioned a reunion, saying, “I can see Vanessa and charity getting back together.” The sentiment was echoed by someone who went as far as hoping, “Hopefully Suzy’s secret leads to Vanessa and Charity getting back together!”.
