Charity overwhelmed in Emmerdale surrogacy story as she makes big revelations to Mack

Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) offered to be Sarah Sugden’s (Katie Hill) surrogate when she thought there were no other options, but that selfless offer may be coming back to bite her in Emmerdale.

When Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) originally dropped the idea of surrogacy in Sarah’s lap Charity was livid – that he would get her hopes up with something that was never going to be viable.

Dr Liam (Jonny McPherson) confirmed as much when he told Cain that no agency would touch her with a barge pole given her life expectancy, among other things.

Cain then got himself scammed by an agency who took his money and ran, leaving everyone desperate, distraught, and back to square one. So, Charity stepped up.

She chose not to share this monumental decision with husband Mack (Lawrence Robb), however, and instead he found out from busybody Pollard (Chris Chittell), and when he learned that his wife planned to carry her great grandchild, he had a few things to say about it.

But as things stand, it’s full steam ahead with Sarah giddy with excitement over this new plan. She and Charity get prepared for their hospital visit while Mack busies himself with work to try and forget.

When he bumps into best pal Aaron (Danny Miller) and confesses he won’t be going to the hospital, Aaron tries to get him to have a rethink.

Mack takes his advice and rushes to the clinic, where Charity tells him all went well. Mack is desperate to tell her how he really feels, but he just can’t find the words. If he’s not careful, it’ll soon be too late.

Before he can, Charity reveals something of her own – Sarah and Jacob’s attentiveness has left her feeling completely overwhelmed, and it’s only a sign of things to come.

When she gets Mack alone, she confesses her true feelings, and it’s a great opportunity for him to do the same. But will he?
