Emmerdale’s Emma Atkins breaks silence on Charity Dingle’s future on ITV soap and ‘Cain romance’
Emmerdale's Emma Atkins has opened up about her character Charity Dingle's relationship with Mackenzie Boyd and whether or not she'd like to see her reunite with Cain Dingle
Emmerdale icon Emma Atkins has dished on the potential of Charity Dingle rekindling her romance with Cain Dingle. Currently, the beloved character is hitched to Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), and they’re navigating life after her affair and subsequent baby with Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) last year.
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.”, reports the Express.

Long-time viewers will recall Charity’s once taboo tryst with her cousin Cain Dingle ( Jeff Hordley ), who is the dad to her daughter Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb). Cain’s also wed to Moira Dingle ( Natalie J Robb ), who happens to be Mackenzie’s big sis.
When probed about the possibility of revisiting the spark between Charity and Cain, Emma confessed: “Wouldn’t it be nice. I do love the old school Cain and Charity but we all know that time moves on and I do love the Moira/Cain chemistry.”
“It’s brilliant because they are both different and work as a Yin and Yang but with Charity and Cain, there’s that level that there’d be too much friction because they are from a similar stock whereas Moira has that morally upstanding nature and I wouldn’t want to change their dynamic but I would love to work with Jeff and Nat Robb.”
Charity is poised to steal the spotlight as she grows wary of Belle Dingle’s ( Eden Taylor-Draper ) relationship with her hubby Tom King (James Chase).
She explained: “Charity starts to notice behavioural changes in Belle. She seems a lot more closed off, she doesn’t really want to socialise with her friends or family and she’s home a lot at Tom and whenever she’s out in the street she’s always with Tom and Charity is like ‘you’re never on your own, Belle’.”
“She’s started to let her know that she’s picking up this vibe that something may potentially be wrong but she knows at first she’s got to play it as this subtle game. She teases little things out of Belle but not enough to know so she decides to plan a girly night.”
“She goes to see Chas and Lydia and says ‘I feel something is not right and I want to get to the bottom of it and at this point suspicions of Tom’s behaviour is ramping up.”
