Does any one want Charity Dingle to come back?? My mum and i do! She has played for 5 years now, and she is such a good actor!! Did any one watch that Emerdale special thing on itv2? It was really, really good!! It was about Charity, Chris, Tom, Marlon, and loads more people. Emma Atkins (Charity) said that she has played for 5 years and did not want to outstay her welcome. Apparently the producers begged her to stay!! Once, when she was hitting Cain, he said "hit me as hard as you want, it won't hurt" but she really did slap him, slap!, he had a bright red face and Emma felt really bad!!
:D Hooray for Charity!!
.:Kitz:.

she was the best and the punch she gave sadie before she left was fantastic
She was great, but I'd like to see Sadie have some more attention in the soap.

Wouldn't it be great if Charity made a comeback to spice things up? I'd love to see everyone's reactions, especially Debbie and the Kings. She was worth ten times half of the current cast, I reckon it would be the perfect first step to getting Emmerdale back on form for 2008 after the dire past year they've had. its not like she doesn't know anyone in the village, they could easily think up a plausable explanation for a return. cant see Emma Atkins agreeing to it though unfortunately :(

also bring back tina dingle
If they were all to come back, they have to rename the soap "The Dingles at War" or something like it :lol: :rotfl:
Yes, I would like to see Charity and Tina back, not sure, what the actress that played Tina, is up to these days, I don't think I have seen her lately.

Charity was fab and I'd love to see her back. She really spiced up Emmerdale for me, and since she's left, it's slowly become dire - bring her back!

Definitely can't ever see Tina returning, those days are long gone
I agree I loved her! To be honest after she left I lost interest
they were both brilliat in it, althogh i cant see either of them returning, it would certainly spice things up a bit.
To be honest I think we have better chances of getting new characters than her back
Definitely can't ever see Tina returning, those days are long gone
Her website states that they have tried to get her back but she runs a drama school now and is adamant she will not return. :(
They need to bring back charity and cain!!
Never liked Cain and I certainly do not find him handsome. But they left him the option to return and I have a feeling that he will one day.

Charity Tate will return to the Dales in a blaze of controversy later this year.
The blonde bombshell was last seen in March 2005, after wreaking revenge on Sadie King by having an affair with her husband Jimmy. Charity shocks her daughter Debbie and ex-lover Cain Dingle, who comes back to the village in April. Actress Emma Atkins, who plays her, said: "Charity is a wonderfully complex character and an absolute joy to play. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to explore a new era of Charity, Cain and Debbie and will relish seeing what she’s been up to since we saw her last. Charity’s five-year reign included her marriage to millionaire Chris Tate, an affair with his sister Zoe and being framed for Chris’ murder. She was also set to marry Home Farm patriarch Tom King until Sadie made him believe Charity was sleeping with Cain. Gavin Blyth, Emmerdale series producer says "It's going to be an incredibly exciting year for Emmerdale with Charity and Cain back at the heart of the action. This is the first in a series of new signings and intriguing characters on the horizon and we're going to delight in reminding viewers that when it comes to compelling drama and commanding characters, Emmerdale is a force to be reckoned with."
SBBB - Next Clue - A peice of soap history goes up for sale.
Best Emmerdale news I have had in ages
Brilliant, loved her character. Hope she comes back as the rich b***h and gives the Wyldes a good run for their money :cheer:
Emma Atkins is to make a shock comeback to Emmerdale as Charity Tate later this year as part of the ITV soap's major overhaul.
The 33-year-old, who played the role for five years between 2000 and 2005, is the first in a wave of "stunning new signings" that will inject a new lease of life into the show when it's revamped over the coming months.
The announcement comes two months after producers revealed that Jeff Hordley was returning to the soap as Charity's cousin and former lover, Cain Dingle.
Cain reappears in Emmerdale in April and Charity is due to return with her five-year-old son Noah in a blaze of glory shortly afterwards, to the shock of her daughter Debbie (Charley Webb).
Speaking of her decision to reprise her role, she said: "Charity is a wonderfully complex character and an absolute joy to play. I couldn't resist the opportunity to explore a new era of Charity, Cain and Debbie and will relish seeing what she's been up to since we saw her last."
Series producer Gavin Blyth added: "It's going to be an incredibly exciting year for Emmerdale with Charity and Cain back at the heart of the action.
"This is the first in a series of new signings and intriguing characters on the horizon and we're going to delight in reminding viewers that when it comes to compelling drama and commanding characters, Emmerdale is a force to be reckoned with."
Charity first appeared in Emmerdale in March 2000 for her cousin Butch's funeral, but it later emerged that she was a prostitute on the run from the police. She quickly went on to marry millionaire Chris Tate in 2001, before having an affair with her sister-in-law Zoe.
When Chris died after drinking a poisoned glass of champagne in 2003, it soon transpired that he had committed suicide in an attempt to frame Charity for his murder.
She later went on to have a relationship with Tom King, but on their wedding day, Tom was shown some damning photos of Charity kissing Cain by Sadie, who had hired Cain to set her up.
Charity was last seen on screen in March, fleeing the village with her one-year-old Noah after exacting her revenge on Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) by having a fling with her husband Jimmy King (Nick Miles).
Atkins will begin filming and reappear on screen later in the year.
:cheer:
Excellent News. Wouldnt it be lovely for her and Cain to buy Home Farm. Maybe we will even see Zoe Tate return.
this is reason enough for me to get back into watching Emmerdale! Cain, Charity and that new family, things seem to be looking up for this flagging show!

Sorry I think Marlon is Noah real dad as Charity slept with Marlon at some family wedding Paddy and Emily's maybe.
I'm the only one who doesn't share everyone's enthusiams for Charity returning, yeah she was alright when the Dingles were running rings round the kings, but to me it's another actress/actor begging for the job back that she thought was too good for.
DNA tests proved Noah was Chris Tate's son if my memory served me correctly cos Zoe tried to get custody

Bad girl Charity Tate is making an explosive comeback.
Charity (Emma Atkins, 33) left the Dales back in 2005.
She fled with son Noah after getting revenge on Sadie King (Patsy Kensit, 41) by having an affair with her husband Jim (Nick Miles, 47).
But she will return in a blaze of glory, much to the shock of estranged daughter Debbie (Charley Webb, 21) and ex lover Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley, 38).
Emma, left, said: “I couldn’t resist the opportunity to return.”

No you're not.
It's not so long ago that she said she wouldn't go back to Emmerdale because it was too easy and didn't challenge her enough. I suppose the dwindling bank balance from lack of work turned out to be a bigger challenge.
What's more she brings a kid, and there's too many of them in Emmerdale already.
I'm also not looking forward to the return of the spotty neanderthal thug, Cain. There's already one of those in the shape of Andy Sugden. Only difference is I have seen Andy smile once or twice.

When is she back on screen?
It says Late 09 in the Inside Soap
EMMERDALE star Emma Atkins admits she is only making a comeback as superbitch Charity Tate because she FLOPPED after leaving the soap.
The actress, 34, said she struggled to find roles after quitting the ITV1 series four years ago.
Work was so scarce she was reduced to living on poached eggs and spending her days watching telly.
But she will start filming again this summer after bosses wrote her scheming ex-prostitute character back into the Dales drama.
In her first chat since signing her new contract, Emma said: “I did a bit of theatre and that but honestly I also sat at home eating poached eggs on toast, watching TV and getting stuck into the net.
“I defy any actress to admit that it’s hard when you’re ‘resting’ — I did bits and bobs but it was not like working on a soap. It made me realise how lucky we are in a soap to have regular work and a routine.”
Emma bagged small guest roles in Heartbeat, Casualty, and Dalziel and Pascoe but failed to land the big break of her dreams in the US.
She added: “I quit the show as I felt at the time I wanted to try other things. Charity was my first big job out of drama school and you want to see if you can play someone else.
“But I missed her all the time. She was my creation, love her or loathe her.
Charity was last seen roaring out of the village with a stash of an ex-lover’s cash and baby son Noah. Emma said: “She might have a few secrets — people will be surprised.”

LOL atleast shes been honest I suppose.
She is not the one who gladly returns to a soap because other offers are not coming along. At least she is a character liked by most people, I hope that her storylines with Cain will improve his return to Emmerdale, so far I find him too predictable and boring, just a thug.

At least she is honest unlike lots of others who have left the soaps to pursue a career in Holywood or release and album. She left with a believeable storyline so it will be no problem explaining her return,
I cant wait until she comes back :D

Well well well... Look who's getting married?
Charity Tate makes her much anticipated return to Emmerdale on the 1st October, but who will she wed on the big day?
The blonde bombshell was last seen in the village in March 2005, fleeing the village with her son Noah after getting revenge on Sadie King by having an affair with her husband Jimmy.
But how will daughter Debbie and ex-lover Cain react to seeing her again?
http://www.itv.com//img/original/Emmerdale-Charity-Tate-bc598b41-9d7c-4d4d-be4e-ffa2788c36c4.jpg
n her explosive first episode, Charity is seen wearing a stunning wedding dress. But the identity of her mystery groom is being kept under wraps, along with details of whether the surprise wedding goes ahead.
Actress Emma Atkins is relishing every moment of reprising her role as Charity Tate. "I am incredibly excited to be continuing her journey and feel privileged to have been asked back," she said.
"It is a new chapter in both my life and Charity’s and I couldn’t wait to start work.”
Charity’s return will shock her daughter Debbie and ex-lover Cain Dingle. Debbie was left heartbroken after begging her mum to stay back in 2005 and has been estranged from Charity ever since.
Gavin Blyth, Series Producer says: "Charity’s dramatic return will have repercussions throughout the village. Viewers are in for a real treat."

Is it just me or do her parents have the same taste in the people she is going out with, I mean Cain knew she was with Jasmine but went out with Jasmine.
I mean Charity most probably doesn't know about her and Michael.
But am just saying it seems like a pattern is forming.

IT'S a family affair when Debbie Dingle realises her secret love rival is actually her mum Charity.
The sexy mechanic races to the church to stop her two-timing boyfriend Michael Conway from marrying his mystery bride.
But it’s Debbie who’s dumbstruck when she bursts into the church with her dad Cain and sees Michael’s bride-to-be is her mum.
Our insider said: “After getting another beating from Cain, Michael drops the bombshell that he’s getting married.
“A distraught Debbie tries to talk him out of it but he tells her his fiancée is pregnant and he can’t turn his back on his baby.
“On the day of the wedding Debbie can’t bear to just sit back and do nothing so along with Cain she races to the church to try and win Michael back.
“They arrive just as the veiled bride is walking down the aisle. As they burst through the church doors a stunned Michael spins round. But that’s nothing to the shock Debbie receives when she sees who he’s marrying.”
The dramatic scenes see Emma Atkins back in the Dales to play selfish blonde Charity after four years away.
And viewers can expect the fall-out to be huge in what promises to be one of the soap’s biggest storylines of the year.
“Charity’s latest stunt leaves Debbie heartbroken,” said our insider.
“At first she can’t believe it’s her mum at the altar.
“When reality does hit she’s furious. She hasn’t seen her mum in years and then finds out she’s been living nearby all along – and playing happy families with her boyfriend.
“Let’s just say it’s far from a happy family reunion.”
The wedding scenes will be screened on Thursday October 1 on ITV1.
Do we really need the same post in several threads?
Can't wait for this episode!!!:cheer:

After a four-year absence, one of Emmerdale's most iconic characters Charity Tate - played by 34-year-old Emma Atkins - makes her eagerly-anticipated return to the show next week in dramatic soap style. With the knowledge that her lover Michael (Jamie Belman) is about to tie the knot, Debbie Dingle (Charley Webb) and her father Cain (Jeff Hordley) storm the Durham church and are stunned to the core when they see that Michael's bride is none other than Debbie's mother Charity. We recently caught up with Emma to chat about her comeback, what it's been like 'finding Charity' again, rehearsing over Skype and her return to the village.
How did the return come about?
"It's great to be back and I'm honoured to be continuing Charity's journey. The return couldn't have been better timing really. I'd been asked by each producer over the past few years whether I'd be interested in coming back, but it seemed too soon. With work commitments too, the timing wasn't right. But at the beginning of this year, I got a phone call from my agent saying that Emmerdale had been on the phone asking if I'd be interested in making a return and whether I'd agree to meet Gavin for lunch to talk about the possibility.
"I went to meet Gavin up in Leeds and it was fantastic. He gave me this incredible story outline and I sat there thinking, 'I'd be a bit stupid to say no really!' Six months work for any actress is a wonderful opportunity and it'd have been daft to turn it down."
You're back for six months, then?
"Yeah, six months initially and then who knows?!"
Did it take much persuading on Gavin's part?
"No, not really. Gavin and I had a real heart-to-heart and he's very approachable. I've been a jobbing actress for five years and I've really enjoyed the freedom of going and playing other roles. He was really understanding of that. Obviously he wants me to stick around and it seems that might be the way it will go, but until six months is up, I don't think anyone knows."
What's it been like being back on set with Jeff and Charley again?
"Oh, it's brilliant. There's no other words to describe it. They're amazing to work with, wonderful actors and brilliant people. They're so funny, so we have a laugh on set. We never take ourselves too seriously, but when it comes to work, we're completely dedicated.
"The other night, Charley and I had loads of lines to learn - it was actually the night before my first day back in the studio - and I text her asking if she had Skype. She text straight back saying she does and she Skyped me and we sat there for three hours doing our lines! It was absolutely brilliant. I went on set the next morning feeling really confident!"
You return is like the official 'relaunch', as it were, of the show - do you feel any pressure?
"No because I'm a light-hearted sort of girl and the moment you start taking yourself too seriously, you start losing the essence of what my character's about. I play Charity in such a way, but as Emma, I'm quite light-hearted and that helps me get through. I so suffer from nerves and that will never change. There are days when I don't feel light-hearted in the slightest, but then there's a nice counter-balance which helps when someone mentions the ratings - at that point, I just switch off! I just treat it as any other job, like any other acting role, and do it to the best of my ability. I have fun with it, put 110% in and I hope that the outcome is what viewers are expecting."
How easy has it been to 'find' Charity again?
"I was daunted at thinking that I might make a pig's ear of it by not being able to 'find' the character again, but I was worrying unnecessarily. As soon as I got the first brilliant script, I knew I could do it. Again, rather than adding unnecessary pressure to an already pressurised work schedule, there's no point. I want to enjoy every second I'm here and embrace the character completely again. From that train of thought and mindset, it came instinctively."
How do we first see Charity?
"It's a huge reveal moment, where Debbie and Cain decide to storm the wedding because Debbie can't bear Michael going through with the wedding. They literally run into the church and the vicar's telling them to take a seat to join the congregation. Charity then turns around to see what the fuss is all about and that's the huge reveal of who the blushing bride is!"
What's your first expression?
"I don't actually know! They filmed a couple of takes and thinking about it, it's probably over the top! I remember thinking, 'How am I going to react here?' because there's so much going on and so many different expressions I could have chosen. I probably pulled the worst one ever! We'll see, I'm sure it'll be fine! The reveals continue to happen throughout the episodes, though. It's non-stop revelation."
How does she end up back in the village?
"Well, she's dragged back really. Whatever happens with the wedding means that she's left distraught, having had Debbie and Cain destroy things. Charity turns up and confronts them. She drives back into the village like a maniac in search of some answers. My second episode's just brilliant."
What are everyone's faces like?
"They're hilarious. Betty's jaw just drops in typical Betty-style. The Dingles are all apprehensive, if not a little horrified, as they're concerned about whose life she's back to wreck now. Jimmy's hilarious, too. Nick [Miles] and I shot a hilarious scene a few days ago. Jimmy thinks he can still threaten Charity, but he's not got a leg to stand on - she's not remotely frightened. Jimmy and Nicola are fantastic, so she has a bone to pick with Charity because of all the money she stole off the Kings. The unfinished business with the Kings is to be continued…"
[B]Charity on her backstory, pregnancy and more...
Recently, I was lucky enough to chat with one of my favourite Emmerdale actresses of all time Emma Atkins, ahead of her return to the Dales as Charity Tate.
Back in March, series producer Gavin Blyth played the first ace of his term in office when he successfully managed to persuade Emma to return to the show. Since then, Charity's comeback has been earmarked as the Emmerdale's 'new beginning', the point from which it will climb back to its best.
Will it deliver?
Going on what I've seen and read, I certainly have high hopes that from October 1 and beyond, Emmerdale will return to form and deliver the top-notch drama we all know it can.
Has the show changed much since you were there last?
"The show has changed, but shows like Emmerdale will always change. Scripts are always changing, storylines are always moving on and the producership changes, too. Emmerdale's always been good, but certainly now with Gavin on board it's going from strength to strength. To be part of it during this time is really exciting for the programme and myself. It was perfect timing for me.
"There are new people here too, so I'm working with new actors and actresses, which is brilliant. As well, obviously I'm working with the same people here who I absolutely adore. They're all so talented and it's such a luxury to be working alongside them again."
What have you been doing in the meantime?
"Loads of different things. I've done radio plays for Radio 4 - which I love - lots of lovely voiceovers to keep the wolf from the door. I did some lovely theatre - I did a war play down in Salisbury… When you're doing theatre, everyone knows that it's incredible to be able to stretch one's self with acting but financially, we all know it's not fantastic. So I was very lucky to have a support system of a great voiceover agent, which allowed me not to worry as much as I would have done otherwise. In the times when it was difficult, I just had to cut my cloth accordingly and I've always been quite good at that."
Are the writers still effectively writing for Charity?
"Oh yes! As soon as I picked up the scripts, I knew they'd not forgotten her at all. The same biting wit! She's not a softie and they've not turned her into something she isn't, either. She's who she always was. She starts off the same, but the audience will be pleasantly be surprised by the journey Charity goes on. She starts questioning what she wants in her life and whether money really makes her happy. Charity has responsibilities now and she has to face up to them. The events of her first few episodes are a rude awakening."
Apparently she's pregnant?
"Or is she?! It's certainly mentioned that she's pregnant, but whether or not she has it or loses it… It's all up in the air."
Where's Charity been all this time?
"Oh, where hasn't she been?! Do you know what? I don't actually know! The scripts are now starting to reveal where she's actually been, so I'm learning, too. I would say that she's been with Michael for the past two or three years, more or less realising that she has a great thing in Michael. He's young, has a lot going for him and has a lot of money. He could provide for her and Noah. Charity knows she has a fantastic setup with Michael and she's been working her way up to the wedding. Before Michael, in pretend soap history, I would imagine she's been trying to set herself up with anyone she thinks is right for her! Maybe she's had her sights on Michael for some time?"
It's quite surprising that Noah's still with her, isn't it?
"Yeah, she didn't dump him. He's one thing she didn't desert in her life. It's nice because there's a great relationship forming between mother and son. Working with little Jack [Downham] is brilliant. He's funny, he listens, he's cute, naughty and intelligent. Charity and Noah are like partners in crime, which obviously causes a lot of jealousy for Debbie because she never had that connection with her mum."
Does Charity know that she's a grandma?
"No, not at all! She can't believe it. It's mid-argument she finds out, so she hasn't even got time to react. Beyond the vestry, there are 40 people waiting to see Michael and Charity get married, so she's really not that interested in being a granny! She wants to get back into the swing of the wedding."
What if both mother and daughter are pregnant by the same fella :lol:
I cant wait for her return

So we will have this to deal with too?
Emmerdale returnee Emma Atkins has revealed that the soap's producers want her to "stick around" for a permanent comeback.
In March, it was confirmed that the actress would reprise her role as Charity Tate on the ITV1 drama. Viewers will see the launch of her new stint this week.
The decision to bring Charity back to the village came as part of new series producer Gavin Blyth's ongoing revamp of the Yorkshire-based soap. Blyth joined the programme in January following the departure of his predecessor Anita Turner.
In an interview with DS, Atkins has now confirmed that she is under a six-month contract and will decide her long-term future at a later date.
"Gavin and I had a real heart-to-heart and he's very approachable," she explained. "I've been a jobbing actress for five years and I've really enjoyed the freedom of going and playing other roles. He was really understanding of that.
"Obviously he wants me to stick around and it seems that might be the way it will go, but until six months is up, I don't think anyone knows."
Charity's shock return sees her unveiled as the bride of her daughter Debbie Dingle's (Charley Webb) lover Michael (Jamie Belman).
Atkins commented: "I went to meet Gavin up in Leeds and it was fantastic. He gave me this incredible story outline and I sat there thinking, 'I'd be a bit stupid to say no really!' Six months work for any actress is a wonderful opportunity and it'd have been daft to turn it down."
Charity was last seen in Emmerdale in 2005.

I would not mind her sticking around permanently :thumbsup:
Emmerdale businesswoman Charity Sharma is left hiding a scandalous secret of her own next week as she sleeps with Home Farm boss Declan Macey.
With her marriage to Jai in crisis due to his hidden turmoil over baby Archie, Charity decides that it's time to focus her attentions elsewhere and starts flirting with Declan (Jason Merrells) to secure a business deal.
Charity's pursuit goes further than she ever expected when Declan responds to her advances, but will she regret it?
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - reveals why her cunning character is drawn to Declan.
How is Charity feeling now that Jai has been away from the village for a while?
"To begin with, Charity was in a state of shock that Jai wanted to leave in the first place, when their marriage was in such turmoil. She was quite annoyed and miffed with the situation at that point! Jai has been away for a few weeks now, so Charity has also built up a little sense of rejection in her head.
"But Charity probably knows deep down that they need the space. Jai is behaving so strangely, so she thinks that maybe he needs to get away and sort his head out. She's being remarkably understanding, but then she doesn't really have a choice, because Jai is acting so peculiar."
Have Charity and Jai been in touch?
"There have been messages and texts, but with Charity being Charity, she's playing hard to get and she has distanced herself from Jai. She knows he'll be returning soon, and I think she's feeling quite nervous about that.
"When you're not in touch with someone, you can have a separation anxiety. Charity is wondering what their future holds and she misses him. She hates to admit that, but she has admitted to Rishi that she really needs to see Jai now and find out what the state of their relationship is."
Does Charity regret telling Jai that she wouldn't wait for him?
"I think that's just part of the games that Charity plays. The grass is always greener, and she likes to play silly little games. Deep down she's missing Jai, but she won't admit that to him. She's hoping that he will come back and shed some light on why he's been behaving so strangely."
Why does Charity start approaching Declan?
"Seeing as Jai has been away for a little while and Charity has distanced herself from that relationship, she feels that she could perhaps pursue something else. In her mind, perhaps her marriage is over. While Jai is not around, there is not a relationship functioning. She feels that doing the odd bit of flirting with Declan is harmless and acceptable, plus it's part of her business venture.
"Charity feels this is within her rights, even though it's absolutely outrageous behaviour. She and Debbie are in cahoots and they're determined to get Declan on board for some business venture. Debbie is actually encouraging that part of Charity. Charity was quite a soft character for a while, but I think she's definitely hardening again!"
Is there chemistry between Charity and Declan from the outset?
"I think there always has been chemistry between Charity and Declan. They're both shrewd businesspeople and I think there's an attraction there, which fuels the fire for both of them. Declan knows Charity's game, but he enjoys playing along with it for a bit."
How does Declan react when he finds out that Charity is mainly flirting with him to secure the deal?
"He's not remotely gobsmacked! He knows that Charity always has a game plan, there's always something up her sleeve. She may seem innocent on the surface, but there's always an agenda with Charity. The agenda this time is to secure a business venture for the next music festival."
Do they have a big argument?
"Yes, they have an argument at the pub, with lots of mutual insults! Declan gives as good as he gets. Declan says, 'Well, I thought your marriage was over, hence why you're flirting with me'. She says, 'Don't flatter yourself' and brings Katie not being able to have children into it. There's a lot of personal remarks being made."
What happens when they next see each other at Home Farm?
"Declan calls Charity to apologise, thinking that she'll be at home licking her wounds, but she's actually outside Home Farm and walks in on his phone call to her! She's interested in how Declan is going to make it up to her.
"There's clearly a frisson between them, and they once again enter into another argument. They're just very fiery and winding each other up, and there's a lot of sexual tension. They share a kiss and end up sleeping together - it's very lusty."
What happens after they've slept together?
"Reality hits and they think, 'Oh dear!' Declan happens to be Jai's best friend, he also happens to be married to Katie, and it's such a tangled web. Now we all have dirty little secrets, not just Jai!
"Also, the phone goes and Declan decides not to answer it, but it's Robbie saying that Katie is on her way back. So that's the tension building for the audience - she walks into the house, but will she catch them together?"
How is Charity feeling in the aftermath of her encounter with Declan?
"I think she's trying to deflect it as something that's not too much of a big deal. But deep down she knows that Jai has been away and he can't ever find out. I think she's realising what's at stake and what she will lose.
"For the majority of the time, Charity and Jai have had quite a successful marriage, they've loved each other and enjoyed each other's company. She also has financial stability, which is what she's always sought, but now it's hanging in the balance."
Would Charity sleep with Declan again?
"It was a one-off, I would say. Unless I'm very much mistaken! You never know what the writers will do - they might see something and go back for more. But at the moment, I think it'd be too dangerous to do more. She knows that she shouldn't meddle at the moment."
As Emma, who do you think Charity is better suited to - Jai or Declan?
"Jai, because there's a gentleness there, which deep down Charity does seek. She pretends that she's hard-faced, but deep down there's a soft mushy interior. I think Jai can bring out that softer side, which is what Charity needs, whereas I don't think Declan would do that."
Given that she's now misbehaved herself, do you think Charity would be more forgiving towards Jai if she discovered his secret?
"No, I think with Charity it's double standards. A one-night stand is a one-night stand, but a one-night stand plus a baby is a whole different ball game. I think Charity would actually decide that she was thoroughly innocent if she knew the facts with Jai."
So how will she react to the baby secret? It has to come out at some point!
"I've thought about that a lot, and I can't decide if it would be like an explosion going off, or whether it would just be a total shock for Charity. It's gone on under her nose without her knowing for so long, and Jai has effectively been leading a double life. She's even gone to Rachel for advice over Jai's strange behaviour! With the embarrassment that will fall on Charity's shoulders, I can't imagine how she's going to react. I think she'll go into shock, but then there'll be World War Three!
"I hope viewers are looking forward to it and I can't wait to play it. In the meantime, I think the writers are going to keep this story running, and let the audience see that Jai can keep a secret to this level and to this degree."
Is Charity still as fun to play as ever?
"Yeah, I don't think I would have played her for this long if she wasn't fun! I enjoy her reacting to different characters. She's so horrible to Edna, but then she can be really nice to her. She's extremely volatile, but when she's with her family, she's fiercely loyal and supportive. However, she can also be extremely disloyal. She's a real contradiction!"

Emma Atkins reveals to Soaplife how Emmerdale's Charity and Declan take their business into the bedroom!
Jai leaving Charity alone and Katie leaving Declan alone leaves them all in one heck of a mess when business turns to pleasure for Charity and Declan. But Emma insists Charity didn't set out to seduce Declan. "It starts as just a bit of flirting and ends up as an 'Oh dear! What have we done?' moment," Emma tells Soaplife. Oh dear? It's much more OMG!
What brings Charity and Declan together?
"Charity wants in on the next music festival and she puts a business plan together... She thinks that it's fine to do a bit of flirting, too. She sees it as harmless."
And how does Declan see it?
"He knows Charity's game and he enjoys playing along with her."
But it changes from harmless flirting to cheating...
"Charity goes to Home Farm to hopefully close the deal and is being flirty again when Declan suddenly suggests she should leave. They have a spat and start hurling insults at each other, then there's this frisson. There's chemistry - a real sizzle - and a lot of sexual tension between them. Charity makes to go but Declan pulls her back. They kiss and it's very passionate."
Much more passionate than just a kiss! How do they feel when the passion's over?
"Well, Declan's married to Katie and he's Jai's best friend and Charity's married to Jai. So it's an 'Oh-what-a-tangled-web-we-weave' scenario. Now it's not just Jai who has dirty little secrets."
Soaplife has an idea that Katie might discover the secret very quickly, though...
"While Charity and Declan are together, Robbie rings to let Declan know that Katie's on her way back - but Declan doesn't pick up. Viewers will see Katie arrive, go in and shout for Declan, but I'm not saying whether or not she catches them together."
Would Charity care if Jai found out?
"She's trying to act as if what they've done is not that big a deal, but she knows what she's done and that Jai must never find out."
So she does really want to stay married to Jai?
"Yes. For most of the time they've had quite a successful marriage. They're two people who love each other and enjoy each other's company. Plus she's with someone who gives her financial stability, which is something she's always wanted. This is now all hanging in the balance. She realises what she might lose."
Now that she's played away, would she be more forgiving if she found out about Jai's secret baby with Rachel?
"No way! A one-night stand is a one-night stand, but a one-night stand plus a baby is a whole different ball game. With Charity it's double standards. In her mind, what Jai did would simply cancel out what she'd done and she'd still be the injured party."
Does the Pope pray? Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back? Do male dogs like lamp posts? lol
i hope the pope prays that dolly sleeps on her back :p
Emmerdale's Charity Sharma drops a huge bombshell on husband Jai next week, confessing to her recent passionate encounter with Declan Macey.
Charity hopes to get her marriage back on track when Jai (Chris Bisson) returns to the village following his business trip, but one of her enemies is about to throw a spanner in the works.
When scheming Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) discovers Charity and Declan's secret and threatens to reveal all to their respective partners, Charity decides to take the power out of his hands by telling Jai the truth…
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - shares all the gossip on her character's big confession.
What was Charity thinking when she slept with Declan?
"I don't think Charity thought about any of the consequences. She just went in head-first, as she often does! I think she fancies Declan and there's definitely a chemistry between them, but that's as far as it goes.
"That chemistry between Charity and Declan has been there right from the beginning, when she stole his car from under his nose. I think it's safe to say that they fancy each other, but as much as that's a mutual attraction, they both understand that sleeping together was a one-off."
Declan has been very worried about Katie possibly finding out the truth. Is Charity equally anxious about hiding her secret from Jai?
"Well, the severity of what she's done does start to dawn on her, but up until that point, she feels quite self-righteous because Jai has gone away from the village and he's been acting really peculiar. In her eyes, she is kind of single!"
Has she missed Jai while he's been away from the village?
"Yeah, Charity has missed Jai a lot, and I think that really begins to dawn on her. She loves him and what she's done is a very selfish act, but only now does the guilt kick in. I think it does affect her more than she would like it to.
"Charity absolutely wants a reconciliation with Jai when he returns, so she doesn't want him to find out that she's slept with Declan. But then Cameron starts threatening her, which makes her feel even more guilt and more shame. She wonders what she should do."

Cameron spies on Declan and Charity.
How does Cameron find out the truth about Charity and Declan?
"I think Cameron is just searching for any avenue where he can just put the Dingles in their place, because they've really shunned Chas for what she's done to Debbie. He'll take any chance to call them hypocrites and point out that they're just as bad.
"Cameron just gets a sniff that something funny is going on between Charity and Declan when he sees them talking at the pub. He follows them out, pretends to be collecting glasses and actually sees that there's something going on. It's obvious to him that there's more to their conversation than meets the eye."
What happens next?
"Cameron calls Charity's bluff outside the toilets in The Woolpack. He just says, 'I know things about you'. Then Charity is running scared and really concerned. She thinks he knows everything.
"Cameron is a nasty, dark and sinister character. Charity is more than aware of that and what he's capable of. He's destroyed Debbie's confidence and he even sometimes fronts up to Cain - not a lot of people do that! For him to have this hold over Charity is just horrendous."
To make matters even more complicated, Katie then invites Charity and Jai over for dinner with her and Declan at Home Farm! How does it go?
"It's the most uncomfortable scenario, but it'll be great for the audience to watch them all squirm! Katie is none the wiser about what's going on, but Charity is desperate to just get it out now and confess. However, Declan is desperately begging Charity not to make a scene and let the cat out of the bag. Everyone at the dinner has different agendas!"
This leads to Charity telling Jai the truth, doesn't it?
"It does! The dinner is too much for Charity to cope with, so she decides to announce that she's leaving. Declan goes mad and tells Charity to stop acting weird, but that drives her all the more potty! When she does leave, Jai follows her out and there's a big showdown. She then releases the bombshell that she slept with Declan.

Jai confronts Declan and Charity.
"I think Charity is pretty unwise to tell Jai right outside Declan's house, as he's not going to walk in the opposite direction! He's pretty much going to walk in and have it out with Declan, and that's what he does. Declan realises that Charity has told Jai the truth."
Fortunately for Declan, Katie is upstairs and doesn't find out what's been going on - at least for now! How do you think Katie would react to the truth?
"Well, the thing about Declan and Katie is that they were estranged when it happened, so you could effectively say that they were split up, too. If they were on a break, maybe Declan's got every right to sleep with someone.
"But I just think Declan can do without the added hassle of this situation. He's a shrewd businessman, so he's not going to want this annoying thing on his plate. Declan is getting his life and relationship with Katie back on track, so he's not going to want a silly one-night stand with Charity to jeopardise that. I don't believe he has any true feelings for Charity."
Jai's secret is also in the mix…
"I love the layers of that! The audience will probably be going, 'You don't have to feel so guilty, Charity, because he's done a lot worse!'"
With Charity's infidelity out in the open, Jai actually considers confessing his own secret too. How would Charity react if he did?
"I think she'd just probably go ballistic! She'd be shocked that she didn't know it was going on all along. It's the ultimate betrayal - that all of it has been going on in the village under her nose.
"If anyone likes to play tricks and be conniving, it's Charity. For Jai to have behaved in this way is just shocking, so I think the revelation will be awesome whenever it happens."

Jai is still hiding his own secret.
Do you have your own ideas on how Charity should react when Jai's secret comes to light?
"I quite like Charity when she plots and goes underground. I'd like a secret plot of vengeance - I think that'd be great. Maybe the audience could see that Charity has found out, but Jai doesn't know. I'd quite like to see that, but I think the audience will want to see a big showdown!"
Do you think there's any hope for Charity and Jai's marriage in the long-run?
"I think once Jai's secret comes out, they'll struggle to keep their marriage afloat. Already they've been under a lot of tension and strain, so I'd argue that maybe this time it would be over. But you never know!"
Emmerdale airs the moment that fans have been waiting for next week as Charity Sharma finally discovers her husband Jai's scandalous secret.
Charity has been suspicious over Jai's strange behaviour for quite some time, but when she realises that Rachel Breckle and baby Archie are at the centre of the mystery, the penny finally drops in must-see episodes of the ITV soap.
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - teases the explosive moment that her character realises who Archie's father is.
What first gives Charity the impression that something is going on between Jai and Rachel?
"Charity's suspicions have been growing now for months, because she's seen Jai's behaviour and he's been acting extremely strangely. She's asked him whether he's had an affair or whether he needs to confess anything, but all he's ever done is profess his undying love the entire time.
"However, Charity isn't totally convinced that something isn't lurking in the background - some secret or something that he's just not telling her.
"Charity then just starts to sense things. It's a woman's intuition and she picks up on slight atmospheres in certain situations where Rachel happens to be present. Jai takes care of Rachel, and Charity's ears prick up every time that kind of situation arises."
What does Charity decide to do about it?
"Charity turns into a little detective and starts to clock it all and monitor it while she stays quiet and just thinks about it. She's aware that something is not right, and she needs to get to the bottom of it very quietly and discreetly."
Is Charity angry at this point?
"She's just bewildered! I think she's in a bit of shock. Every time these moments arise between Jai and Rachel, Charity is just very suspicious and intrigued.
"Charity still doesn't know the truth for sure, so she can't make any judgement on it until she discovers why Jai is suddenly taking an interest in Rachel. It seems that Jai is helping Rachel out with the cottage that she's renting, and Charity needs to find out why that is."
Charity tests Jai by urging him to sack Rachel. How does Jai react?
"Jai point blank refuses to go along with this and tells Charity to mind her own business. That puts Charity's nose out of joint. Jai is just in denial over the possibility that Charity could be getting closer to the truth. He's playing the game so well that he's verging on being a pathological liar!
"When Jai refuses to sack Rachel, Charity is just gobsmacked that Jai has spoken back to her. However, they are effectively getting rent from this mystery father of Rachel's baby, so Jai asks why he'd want to jeopardise a good working relationship with Rachel. It wouldn't be a good thing to do, so Jai stands his ground."
Then there's a moment where Charity thinks her worst fears have been confirmed. What can you tell us about that?
"Charity sees Jai's car outside Rachel's cottage and then hears what seems to be an argument of some kind between the two of them. She spies through the window and she's very bewildered. She doesn't know why those two would need a private conversation between them at Rachel's home.
"Then Charity sees Rachel suddenly thrusting baby Archie in Jai's arms. Immediately, the penny drops for Charity. It's an overwhelming shock and it takes her breath away. It's an open wound and it really is awful. It's the most horrendous way to find out and Charity doesn't know how to react. She goes into a panic, and I still don't know if she's fully believing it even then."
The viewers have waited a long time for this moment!
"I know! It's been great to play all this time, because I'm very aware that the audience know that Jai has sustained this lie for so long. People ask realistically how long someone can hold in that type of secret, because you'd think that eventually certain characters would start working it out. But Jai and Rachel have managed to keep this secret and it's got so monumentally enormous now. I think it'll be great for the audience to now see Charity's reaction and World War Three when it all kicks off!"
Charity then gets on Jai's laptop to play detective, doesn't she?
"Yes, and this is in Charity's true nature, really. She's a very good detective and brilliant at pretending that everything's fine. But underneath her attitude is, 'Let me get to work on this and I'll find the proof I need'. She hacks Jai's laptop and finds that the 'sent' box and 'trash' on his emails are empty. Jai has also deleted his internet browsing history, so there's no evidence of any emails going back and forth between him and Rachel.
"Charity almost feels very angry because there's no proof. She's left to wonder whether Jai has deleted the proof, or whether it's all in her imagination and there really was no proof to begin with. She has nothing to pin on them yet."
What happens next?
"Strangely enough, Charity confides in Declan, who really is enemy number one for Jai at the moment. Charity just wants to speak to someone who knows Jai very well, so she asks Declan whether he knows something or if he thinks Jai is capable.
"Declan is initially as bewildered as Charity when she explains the situation to him, but then he realises that Jai has also secretly been the father of Mia for years without anyone knowing, so he's capable of holding that sort of information for as long as he needs to. I think that confirms it in Charity's mind. He's done it before and he's capable of doing it again."
Then Charity's fears are totally confirmed with a final piece of proof…
"Yes, again Charity has this overwhelming feeling to confront both Jai and Rachel. As she's driving to the factory, Rachel is walking away. In Charity's mind it's, 'Who do I kill first?!' She chooses to go and see her husband first, because she wants to hear it from his mouth rather than anyone else's. Ideally she wants him to say that it's not true.
"Charity flies into the factory and is confronted with Jai holding Archie in his arms. She's absolutely frozen to the spot and can't move."
Was this exciting to film?
"It was brilliant! I've loved it all. It's been challenging as an actress because I've been pushed to play a range of emotions, and that's always exciting.
"Charity has never taken kindly to Rachel and finds her very irritating, so I've loved the scenes with Gemma Oaten too - with just how brazen Charity is in some of her putdowns to Rachel. Now it's clear that Rachel has been holding this secret and had the upper hand, so Charity will not like that…"
Can we expect to see Charity plan some revenge?
"With Charity, she could plan her vengeance very carefully and take a back seat. She'd think she has the time to do that now. But in many ways, Charity has slept with Declan so she's been just as bad, although they didn't have a child and hide it from the village for ages! That's the ultimate betrayal - it's gone much further than a one-night stand.
"Charity can't believe that Jai has led a double life, shamed her in this way and made a mockery of their entire marriage and their countless conversations about truth. They've always vowed to be so honest because that would get them through anything, even if they'd been a bit naughty. It's more the secrecy that's been a betrayal than the infidelity itself."
Have viewers constantly been asking you when Charity will find out?
"Yes, people are always asking when Charity will find out and I always say, 'Not for ages!' So I think people will be so shocked that it's happening now. I think it's a fabulous revelation episode. I myself was waiting for this moment so I think it's the right time for it to be unveiled.

"Yes, and this is in Charity's true nature, really. She's a very good detective and brilliant at pretending that everything's fine. But underneath her attitude is, 'Let me get to work on this and I'll find the proof I need'. She hacks Jai's laptop and finds that the 'sent' box and 'trash' on his emails are empty. Jai has also deleted his internet browsing history, so there's no evidence of any emails going back and forth between him and Rachel.
"Charity almost feels very angry because there's no proof. She's left to wonder whether Jai has deleted the proof, or whether it's all in her imagination and there really was no proof to begin with. She has nothing to pin on them yet."
What happens next?
"Strangely enough, Charity confides in Declan, who really is enemy number one for Jai at the moment. Charity just wants to speak to someone who knows Jai very well, so she asks Declan whether he knows something or if he thinks Jai is capable.
"Declan is initially as bewildered as Charity when she explains the situation to him, but then he realises that Jai has also secretly been the father of Mia for years without anyone knowing, so he's capable of holding that sort of information for as long as he needs to. I think that confirms it in Charity's mind. He's done it before and he's capable of doing it again."
Then Charity's fears are totally confirmed with a final piece of proof…
"Yes, again Charity has this overwhelming feeling to confront both Jai and Rachel. As she's driving to the factory, Rachel is walking away. In Charity's mind it's, 'Who do I kill first?!' She chooses to go and see her husband first, because she wants to hear it from his mouth rather than anyone else's. Ideally she wants him to say that it's not true.
"Charity flies into the factory and is confronted with Jai holding Archie in his arms. She's absolutely frozen to the spot and can't move."
Was this exciting to film?
"It was brilliant! I've loved it all. It's been challenging as an actress because I've been pushed to play a range of emotions, and that's always exciting.
"Charity has never taken kindly to Rachel and finds her very irritating, so I've loved the scenes with Gemma Oaten too - with just how brazen Charity is in some of her putdowns to Rachel. Now it's clear that Rachel has been holding this secret and had the upper hand, so Charity will not like that…"
Can we expect to see Charity plan some revenge?
"With Charity, she could plan her vengeance very carefully and take a back seat. She'd think she has the time to do that now. But in many ways, Charity has slept with Declan so she's been just as bad, although they didn't have a child and hide it from the village for ages! That's the ultimate betrayal - it's gone much further than a one-night stand.
"Charity can't believe that Jai has led a double life, shamed her in this way and made a mockery of their entire marriage and their countless conversations about truth. They've always vowed to be so honest because that would get them through anything, even if they'd been a bit naughty. It's more the secrecy that's been a betrayal than the infidelity itself."
Have viewers constantly been asking you when Charity will find out?
"Yes, people are always asking when Charity will find out and I always say, 'Not for ages!' So I think people will be so shocked that it's happening now. I think it's a fabulous revelation episode. I myself was waiting for this moment so I think it's the right time for it to be unveiled.
Emmerdale's Charity Sharma and Cain Dingle return to their old tricks next week as they team up for a profitable scam.
Charity agrees to help Cain (Jeff Hordley) when he needs to drum up some money to help his new partner Moira Barton, who is cash-strapped and fears losing Butler's Farm.
Unfortunately for Charity, things aren't simple as her husband Jai (Chris Bisson) turns up to the same hotel where she is targeting her intended victim. Will he catch her up to no good?
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - reveals what's in store as her character desperately tries to keep the scam on track.
Why does Charity agree to do a scam with Cain?
"I think she wants to rekindle a bit of old school troublemaking with Cain. She's a bit bored in her relationship at the moment with Jai - it's kind of a little bit stale. Nothing really is going on and Cain offers her the opportunity to go and do their old wheeler-dealer sort of thing. At first she pretends to Cain that she's not interested and says, 'Oh well, if this is to help Moira out, then why should I help you? Get Moira to do her own dirty work'.
"Then she realises that Cain knows Charity is more than capable of pulling off a good job where that sort of thing is concerned, whereas Moira's a decent standing citizen so she's not really capable of doing that. Charity in a way is excited about that and the fact that he's turned to her for help, so she's very flattered."
What kind of scam do they plan?
"A couple of years ago they did a very similar scam. It's terrible really, it's stealing cars under people's noses. It's luring them into a false sense of security that they're in for a good night with Charity, and then she'll just take the car keys, run and throw them in Cain's direction. Then they'll walk off with a £160,000 Aston Martin - thank you very much, money for Moira's farm."
Can you tell us how the scam goes?
"Well, she has an unexpected visitor at the hotel and that turns out to be her own husband Jai, which is just such a spanner in the works - it couldn't be any worse. So Charity really has to do some maths and work out how she's going to get out of this and still try and get the car. At first she wants to cut and run - she tells Cain it's too dangerous because she doesn't want to risk ruining her marriage.
"If Jai got wind of what they were up to, I think he'd just walk out. Even though he's got his own secrets up his sleeve, he wouldn't believe that she wasn't going to sleep with the guy that Charity and Cain are targeting.
"From the way it looks, it does appear that she's going to be very provocative and go up to his room and do the deed. She's not at all, as she's in love with Jai and she's helping Cain out. She suggests that they cut and run and don't do it, but Cain doesn't allow that. He says, 'Absolutely no way, you are going through with this so you better finish the job you started'.
"So in a way, the excitement is still there because Charity knows she's got to do this and that she can do it, even though there's an enormous worry that she's going to run into Jai because he's in the bar. He's literally in the bar where she's flirting with this guy, in disguise and he starts talking to the guy who she's supposed to be wooing for the evening. It couldn't be more awkward."
What is her disguise?
"It's a brilliant type of Uma Thurman wig. It's a very severe, a sort of dark red, big fringe and then this very dramatic bright blue dress with these heels. She's got to look like a certain type of person in order to pull it off and get the guy's attention basically."
So does Charity stay in the corner in the shadows watching Jai talk to this guy?
"Well, she's basically talking to this guy in the bar sat at a table and she's on the phone to Jai. Jai walks into the restaurant having a conversation on the phone, so she's so caught in the headlights and she doesn't know what to do. She kills the call dead, runs out and just says to this guy, 'Look I'm going to have to go and make a phone call to my husband'.
"The guy walks over to the bar to order more champagne for him and Charity and starts talking to Jai. Charity's just watching and waiting. It's quite funny actually - it's got elements of comedy, which I was really pleased about. It's a little bit reminiscent of the Carry On movies where one's running in one room and the next person's running out, and I think the audience are going to be on the edge of their seats.
"The director has said this going to be an episode where it's all about timing and he's going to make it so you think they might bump into one another, so it's really good and I can't wait to see it."
Will this reignite the scams between Charity and Cain?
"I don't think you need to reignite it, because I think it's just always there and it's just how much they're going to play on it. There are times they do and you just think, 'Oh they're so good together', and then one of them says the wrong thing and then you realise, 'Oh that's why you're not together actually'.
"They have become really good friends in a way, and they have the banter where you would think they don't really respect each other when they talk to each other. But actually there is an understanding between them now, because Charity and Moira can sit there and have a drink together and it's really civilised. I don't think I would go as far to say that Moira likes Charity, but they tolerate each other and get on quite well."
Could it reignite the spark of passion between Cain and Charity?
"Maybe. I think it's something that's always there, but it's how far will they go because they've pushed it before and it's been spoilt. Their friendship and understanding has been spoilt because one of them has done something to annoy the other and it's almost that thing - can't live with each other, can't live without each other. So for the time being they're best off apart."
How does Charity really feel about Cain's new relationship?
"I think she is a little bit jealous because it's actually going really well. Every time somebody like Chas or Debbie remarks that it's going really well, Charity has to do a put-down or say 'It won't last for long, only until the next domestic'. I think she shows signs of jealousy because it's like, 'How dare Cain manage a successful relationship, how dare he do that?!'"
At the same time, Charity and Jai's relationship isn't moving forward at the moment…
"No it's not, and I think Jai is caught in his own horrible secret and so it can't go anywhere because Jai's locked in this terrible world of deceit. I can't wait for when Charity finds out. I keep thinking it's going to be soon and then it's not. I think that's fine as long as the audience don't forget, and I don't think they will because I think they're going to be soon reminded that there's this awful dark secret. It's quite good to interweave stories like that."
We're all waiting for the big reveal…
"Well, I think first the audience needs to see Jai being a father not just to Noah as a stepdad, but also as a real father to this baby in order for the deceit to just grow and grow. So in the end it's like he's actually nearly brought up a child under Charity's nose, and she didn't even know.
"Charity actually tends to work out a lot of stuff for herself, but on this occasion she's none the wiser and I think that will be a huge blow, just that she's not been able to work that out and yet he's been acting weird for months."
Does anyone stop you on the street to ask about the secret?
"Yeah, all they say is 'When are you going to find out? When are you going to find out? Do you ever find out?' and I've got to go 'Well, I think so' because I genuinely don't know but it's got to happen or else it would be a waste."

Emmerdale kicks off a big new storyline for Charity Sharma next week as her husband Jai's baby secret finally comes out.
When Charity discovers that Jai (Chris Bisson) is the father of Rachel Breckle's young son Archie, a huge showdown follows and she immediately decides that she wants revenge…
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - previews the long-awaited moment for her formidable character.
Does Charity have any inkling at the moment that Jai could still be lying to her?
"Charity doesn't at the moment but she starts to put a few things together, which she finds quite alarming. Jai's paying a lot more attention to Archie than Charity thinks he should and she questions that.
"Any time anything seems to happen to Archie, Jai's concern is sort of equivalent to Rishi's concern, being a father. Charity is just slightly curious as to why Jai is so paternal in that way. He shows paternal instincts and I think Charity is starting to find it a little bit grating, just because she doesn't like Rachel anyway."
Are there any suspicious moments in particular?
"Charity found Jai's reaction to Archie's fireworks injury a little bit suspicious. Then Samson develops a bug and Jai and Rishi decide that it's better off for Archie to stay at Holdgate. Again Charity wonders why this is happening and is more concerned that Noah could pick up this bug if Archie has contracted it. So all the goings on feel a little bit suspect.
"Charity is not stupid. It's almost like a subconscious knowing and it's sort of brought up to the surface. The more things happen, the more that increases."
Sam's reaction also tells Charity a lot, doesn't it?
"Yes, Sam starts to act extremely bizarre around Charity, which Charity immediately clocks. Because Jai and Rishi have a go at Sam for the fireworks, I think Charity feels sorry for him because she thinks they're picking on him. It wasn't Sam's fault, but they think it is. So she says, 'Oh no, poor Sam, are they having a go at you? I'll have a word with them'. Sam is adamant that he can handle it, but Charity is thinking, 'Handle what?'
"Charity also walks into the factory office and it appears that Rishi and Jai are having a go at Sam, and it's just after the fireworks incident. Charity walks in and says, 'What's going on here? Were you having a go at Sam then?' and they won't speak - they won't say a word, Rishi and Jai. They're buttoned. So Charity goes in search of Sam and says, 'What's going on?'"
Of course, Sam knows the whole truth now…
"Yes, it's great for the viewers because its one of those, 'Don't spill the beans!' situations. Of course the audience are probably thinking, 'Go on, spill the beans!' Sam being Sam, he's a very nervous character. So he does in fact blurt out that there is something he's holding from Charity and he has some information. Charity will not stop then - its like an unravelling thread.
"Lisa walks down the stairs just at the point where Charity is almost threatening Sam, saying, 'If you don't tell me, whatever Jai said he will do to you, I will do a lot worse. So believe me, if you don't start to speak now...'
"Lisa comes down and interrupts them, so Charity decides to get Sam the next day at work. But then Sam quits his job and panics. Charity knows there is something wrong and she vows to herself that she's going to find out. So it's a slippery slope for Jai."
What can you tell us about Rishi's heart attack, which happens when Charity is questioning him?
"Again, Charity has a great tendency to put pressure on people. She enjoys that and she knows that she's quite manipulative. Rishi is quite sweet towards Charity, as he's always been lovely to her. I think she appeals to his better nature and says, 'Look, I need to know'.
"But Charity is quite stern with it as well and obviously Rishi is getting more and more stressed, because he's withholding this awful information and he can't cope with the stress of keeping that secret. Unfortunately I think there are a lot of things going on in Rishi's life, with Jai and all sorts, so he just sort of crumbles and he has a bit of a heart attack."

Does Rishi say anything to Charity which gives the game away?
"Before Rishi passes out, he just says a couple of things to Charity that are so bizarre. He says, 'Please don't be angry with Jai, he loves you both'. Charity wonders why she would be angry and who the 'both' is that Rishi is referring to. So then they go and visit Rishi in hospital. Everyone thinks he's possibly not going to make it, so it's touch and go."
What happens next?
"It's just a case of Charity having Rishi where she wants him now. She needs to talk to him and she needs to talk to him alone. She doesn't really get the opportunity to, so I think at this point, the revelation is out in Charity's head anyway. She just feels subconsciously that she's known for maybe a while, but that is the absolute pinnacle for Charity.
"Charity gives Rishi that knowing glance in the hospital bed as if to say, 'I know and thank you for almost revealing that'. Rishi goes into absolute panic because he's helpless now and that's it."
Are there any other big realisation moments for Charity?
"As well as the heart attack, there's a moment when Jai picks up the baby and pulls him close. I think Charity just sees a moment that isn't an uncle moment, it's what you would do if you were father and son. So those few defining moments put the jigsaw right."
How do you feel about reaching this big moment in the storyline?
"I'm excited for the audience actually. It's weird because I haven't thought about that too much, because obviously my character's had to go off and do loads of other stuff with Debbie. Of course this secret's been building and building and building, so I can imagine hopefully from an audience perspective its going to be a really great revelation."

Charity demands the truth.
What can you tell us about the confrontation itself?
"Charity gets them all into the office. She knows now what she's got to do - she's got to confront them all, but she wants the most impossibly awkward moment you can ever dream of. That means getting Jai and Rachel in the same room, and unfortunately Sam bears the brunt, because again he doesn't quite know what to say for the best.
"Sam puts his foot in it because Rishi obviously throws in a red herring a few episodes back. Rishi had pretended that the reason why they were angry with Sam was because he had asked if it was possible, that when Archie starts talking, he could maybe call Sam 'dad'. Rishi says, 'Absolutely no way can my son call you dad'. So that's the red herring thrown in.
"Charity then knows what Sam's like and puts him under pressure in the office, saying, 'Why do you want Archie to start calling you dad?' Sam is just completely confused about what she's talking about, so Charity knows then. That's the final moment that she knows, because they're lying and they've thrown a blanket over it."
What kind of mood is Charity in when she's confronting them in the room?
"It's quite edgy. I think Charity is losing control because she's so angry, but she keeps it in. She reins it in each time she's going to burst, and obviously she does burst. But to begin with, her focus is wanting to drip the information out in front of everyone.
"It's also a panicky situation, because it's unravelling at a rate of knots and nobody knows what to do. I think it's a very shocking moment, because in many ways Rachel has an innocence about her. Rachel did get very, very drunk and sleep with Jai, but as wrong as it is, she's never gloated about it. She's always been panicky about the idea of it coming out, so it's been really difficult.
"As for Charity and Jai, the fact that it's a dirty secret that's gone on for this long is a mockery. Charity has been made a mockery of. She's now so demented with that mockery that there's no time for feeling sorry for anyone, it's just wild. She's just thinking, 'How big and how brilliant can my revenge be? The bigger the better!'"

How worried should Jai and Rachel be?
"Well, Charity has got Cain and Debbie on her back saying, 'Just let this go, just build your life back up, sort yourself out and start again. You always do and you're always fine. You're a survivor'. But she can't do it without the revenge. Charity can't do it without the vengeance, because why should she? Why should she let them get away with what they've done?
"That's her mentality and that sort of thing can eat you alive. I think Charity has just always got that in her - the ability to seek revenge and do her best by it. It's awful, really - to live your life like that, and I live my life very differently in that aspect because I think there's a sense of maturity about just letting go and moving on."
Are you excited about where things are heading in the aftermath?
"It's wonderful and the writers have been fantastic. Every time I pick a script up, I'm feeling so excited about what's to come. There are moments in the aftermath where Charity gets so drunk and she's going to be trying it on with Cain. It's not because she wants to get back with him - she's just lashing out and she's letting it all unwind…"

Sorry but I have zero sympathy for Charity. She wasn't really that bothered when Katie announced to everyone she knew about her and Declan sleeping together, and started slagging her off about her past when she was young. They were meant to be friends and there was no remorse on her part, just her worrying about what others might think. Yes, Jai should have been honest, but Charity is hardly an angel herself. I'm wondering what her payback would be? Sleeping with someone else, like Katie did?
Wishes Charity would just grow up!

Emmerdale schemer Charity Sharma will be taking centre stage in this year's Christmas episodes as she gets caught up in the Home Farm fire drama.
Charity can do nothing but watch on in horror as she catches Declan Macey setting fire to his mansion on Christmas night, risking his own life and the safety of his sister Megan.
In the aftermath of the blaze, cunning Charity starts to come up with a way to protect Declan by framing Sam Dingle for arson. It's an idea that's sure to leave Charity's enemy Rachel Breckle devastated…
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - previews the drama ahead for her character over the festive period.
How is Charity feeling following her split from Jai?
"Charity is pretty devastated about it all. She's trying to put on a brave face, but she's extremely hurt and I think there is a point where she decides, 'Enough is enough, I cannot sit here and weep over this because it's never going to go away - now I can seek revenge somehow'.
"Charity goes into this turmoil of seeking revenge and this vengeance plan starts to bubble in her mind. Obviously Debbie picks up on it and wonders what she has planned. Debbie says, 'Just leave it and move on with your life', but as stereotypical as it sounds, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. There's a lot to come with the scope of where Charity can go with vengeance."
Is Charity worried about how the break-up will affect Noah, especially with it being Christmas?
"No, I think in some ways there's an inherent selfishness about Charity. As much as she loves Noah, she doesn't have that selflessness. Charity is just so angry and she's determined to keep Noah away from Jai, which actually is such a cruel way to be because you should never, ever involve children. But Charity has never really known how to be a decent mother - she's just got through and got by through her own ideas of motherhood.
"It's not to anybody's liking - certainly not Jai's and he's quite alarmed at how Charity is determined to detach them from having any kind of father-son relationship, even though it's such a healthy one as well. She's just so angry - she's filled with anger."
Does Charity see Christmas as a good chance to get her own back?
"Well it's a weird thread that is woven. At first Charity feels that this Christmas is the worst ever, but then a weird twist of fate happens - the Home Farm fire. Again, cogs are whirring and Charity starts to think, 'Could I turn this to my advantage?' She has an imagination and she uses it much to her advantage when it's needed. The circumstance of this fire is what Charity uses to gain power again."
Would you say Charity is at her best when she's plotting and scheming?
"Yes and I think she sees Declan as a potential ally who she can really join forces with. Who is going to annoy Jai more than him?! Declan is the biggest enemy of Jai as his old best friend and there's nothing worse than your ex-best friend and your ex-lover hooking up. Unfortunately Charity is flawed in that way - she seeks the things that most people would advise her not to do."
Is there any way that Jai could convince Charity to forgive him?
"No, there is a sense of unforgiving now with Charity. She's gone beyond that - she tried to make it work but after the embarrassment and the hurt, now she's hell-bent on getting him back."
Can you tell us what happens at Christmas?
"Jai has taken Noah for Christmas Day, but later Jai turns up in the pub and Charity demands to know where her son is. Noah is curled up watching a DVD - she knows deep down that he's absolutely fine and he's safe, but she's being provocative. She's even more provocative when Jai says, 'Well it's a good job I've not brought him in the pub, seeing you lording it up with Declan'.
"Charity responds by saying, 'Right, I'll get you back for every little snide comment you've ever made'. She turns to Declan and says, 'I've changed my mind, you're not getting me a drink, we're going back to yours'. Again, it's that provocation of, 'I will make Jai regret everything he's done'."
Once they're at Home Farm, Charity leaves suddenly. Why is that?
"There's no real urge for Charity to sleep with Declan - it's actually more that she's quite lonely on Christmas Day and she knows that the idea of sleeping with Declan will make Jai go crazy, so she gives the illusion that it's what's going to happen. Once they're at Home Farm, Charity realises how lost Declan is - he's drunk, he's maudlin, he's quite on the edge of a breakdown. I think Charity realises this and then obviously Declan has a real go at Charity for using him.
"Declan says, 'You've only done it to get back at Jai, so shall we go upstairs and sleep together and get it over with?' Charity is so shocked at his behaviour, but of course Declan is just goading her - he's goading anyone because he's had enough of life after losing the business and everything going so financially wrong."
After leaving, Charity returns shortly afterwards. Why?
"I think Charity genuinely sees Declan as a lost soul and feels quite sorry for him, as he has no-one else to turn to. Declan is sat in Home Farm with his coat on alone in a very cold house because they've turned the gas off. It's just quite a horrendous situation, so I think Charity pities him and feels sorry for him and goes back to talk him out of his depression, really.
"When Charity arrives back, she sees Declan holding a can of paraffin and he's about to torch the house - and himself. I think Declan has just had enough and he feels that he could end his days quite happily just there and then. He's lost his daughter, he's lost his business, he's lost his wife Katie and he feels that Home Farm has a very negative energy. Declan starts to bring up the past and how many people have died there, and that proves too much for him."

A special set was built to burn Home Farm, wasn't it?
"Yes, they've done a replica of Home Farm - the exterior of it. They've done it on location at the village and you would not believe it's a different building, as it looks incredible. Obviously there's certain angles they can't film from - you can tell if you walk round the side that it's not the real Home Farm! But it's so incredible.
"Credit to all the people who were involved in the making of that, as it's done by such talented people, It seems unfortunate then to go and burn it in that way! They built it to burn it!
"While filming these scenes, we had to literally stand there for hours in torrential rain. I've never worked in conditions so hard actually - it was one of the most challenging days that I've had on the show and I love it for that reason. It's going to get even more challenging for me now because I'm getting involved with this fabulous storyline where Declan and Charity join forces."
Is Charity worried that she's going to die in the fire?
"She goes to try and help put the fire out and makes it worse, so I think panic then starts to set in. Because Declan is so reluctant to go and leave, she realises that he's possibly going to commit suicide and she's certainly not wanting to join him, so she tries to talk him out of it. He leads her to believe that they're going to leave the house together, but just as they get to the door, he bolts her out of the house. She's out, he's stuck in and she's got no way of getting back in.
"Charity decides that she's going to help Declan, so she takes her coat off and runs to the field. It's all very wet so she wets the coat in order to break the window and somehow run in. It doesn't get that far, though, because Declan hurls himself out of the house. I think he realises, 'I can't go through with this'."

Once Charity and Declan have got themselves to safety, they find out that Megan has gone into the house and is trapped inside. How do they react?
"They're sat in this lay-by away from the fire and they're discussing how Charity could possibly help Declan get away with it. Then they rush back to the fire, pretending that they don't know anything about it.
"As it unwinds and unravels further in the storyline, we realise that there's a female trapped inside the house. Declan is beyond help now - he's so beside himself with guilt because obviously, there is someone in there and he caused the fire to begin with. Charity is trying to pull him out of his grief and guilt by saying, 'She'll be alive, she'll be fine, don't worry, we'll find a way out of this'."
Is the Declan and Charity dynamic just a partnership, or could there be something in the future between them?
"Well at the moment it's platonic - it's just for insurance and one another's financial gain. Well, not for Declan, he's more still this lost soul - but they do have a lot of respect for each other!"

I don't like that Charity frames poor dim wit Sam
Sorry but I have zero sympathy for Charity. She wasn't really that bothered when Katie announced to everyone she knew about her and Declan sleeping together, and started slagging her off about her past when she was young. They were meant to be friends and there was no remorse on her part, just her worrying about what others might think. Yes, Jai should have been honest, but Charity is hardly an angel herself. I'm wondering what her payback would be? Sleeping with someone else, like Katie did?
Wishes Charity would just grow up!
charity don't like that she has lost jai to another women when really she has lost jai to his son not rachel

I think what was galling was when Charity slept with Declan when she and Jai were 'on a break' - she confessed (under a bit of duress admitedly) but she did tell Jai
He had already slept with Rachel at that point, and said nothing, she was pregnant or had had Archie by that point, but he still said nothing, and then he still let Rishi take the blame of paternity.....so many chances for Jai to come clean, but he only did so when it was forced upon him - coward and double standard weilding ****ebag?

Rishi was keen to make everyone believe he was the dad to keep Jai safe, but yes Jai should have had the guts to admit the truth. Charity slept with Declan to get a deal (prostitute?) and no I am not excusing her at all, as she is far from innocent. Getting a bit fed up of the Jai/Declan history thing oh Jai sleeps with Ella, who was married to Declan, then Ella sleeps with Adam, Declan marries Katie, then Declan sleeps with Charity who is with Jai, then Katie sleeps with Adam for revenge etc. Perhaps they should all just have each other at once since they all seem to be going that way anyway.
charity is more mad that it is a rachel a "scrubber" that jai slept with
Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has praised her character's latest storyline, admitting that she is delighted to see Charity Sharma's darker side being explored again.
Charity has recently embarked on a twisted scheme by attempting to frame Sam Dingle (James Hooton) for the Home Farm fire, which was started by desperate Declan Macey (Jason Merrells) at Christmas.
Next week's episodes see Charity's efforts pay off as Sam is charged with arson, but she then has another surprise in store as she issues his fiancée Rachel Breckle with a difficult proposition to help save him.
Speaking on ITV's Loose Women today (January 7), Atkins explained: "It's such a dastardly plan. I don't know how bad it can actually get, but I'm really loving playing it.
"Obviously she's riddled with guilt, but I just think when you're a baddie like that, you do have to keep being bad. Something will obviously stop her in the end, and I'm waiting to see what that's going to be."
She continued: "At the moment I'm constantly apologising to everyone for being so rotten. I enjoy playing a baddie, I suppose. When I get my storylines through and she's going to be a little bit dark and a little bit more sinister, it makes it more diverse, more interesting to play. But I am constantly apologising."
Asked whether Charity will get away with her plotting, she replied: "For the time being, yes. She can only go on for so long before someone breaks her. How long can someone continue? People keep calling me Lady Macbeth - I can't be that bad surely!"
Emmerdale fans will see the storyline reach a climax next week as Rachel's exit episodes air.

Shortly after she arrives back in the Dales, Cain storms into Mulberry and confronts her about her involvement in the Home Farm fire.

Charity Sharma has some huge life decisions to make next week after she discovers that she is pregnant.
Charity initially tries to keep the news a secret, but when her partner Declan Macey (Jason Merrells) finds out, he is delighted and is desperate for her to keep the baby.
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - explains how her manipulative character feels about the prospect of being a mum again.
How does Charity feel about Declan? Do they have a relationship of convenience, or are there real feelings between them?
"I'd say it's a mixture of both, actually. I don't think they'd still be together now if there wasn't something going on beyond just that financial benefit for Charity. I think they're really attracted to each other. They make each other laugh, and they're both very sharp-witted, bright people who like each other's company. Then there are also the other fabulous trappings: he's got money, he's got the Home Farm estate, he's offering her a bright future. There's both in there, there's a mixture of it all and it makes it interesting.
"If Charity was just out for her money, then I think the audience would just get bored, because it's like, 'There she goes again' with someone who just happens to be rich. There are always characteristics in her partners that Charity falls for, and with Declan I think it's that he's shrewd, but also he's very loving and funny. He's a complex character like her."
Is Charity over Jai?
"She's bitter because of what happened, but it's more like pride with Charity. I think she's beyond the idea of loving him now, so I don't think she still loves him. I think she's just very wound up about what happened with the baby, so she holds a grudge still, which is burning away there. There's always a grudge in Emmerdale, isn't there?"
How does Charity feel about being pregnant?
"Charity is utterly horrified. She didn't ever mean to get pregnant. She takes the pill religiously in order to stop that from happening, and she almost doesn't know how it's happened. She's just assuming that maybe she forgot to take it on a morning when she was maybe hungover. She'd had a skinful the night before and overlooked it, and so it's a huge error. She's just absolutely gobsmacked.
"All this time she's vowed never to have another child. She's in this predicament - she's feeling vulnerable and sickened that she's got herself in this situation."
What does Charity decide to do?
"At first she keeps it from Declan, since she doesn't want anybody to know. Instead she confides in Debbie, who is appalled because her mum often makes unwise choices and makes a mess of her life. Debbie ends up reverting to being the mum and saying, 'Mum, what are you going to do? You can't have this child'.
"At first, Charity decides she wants an abortion, and again runs to Debbie for help and says, 'Please will you come with me?' She admits that Declan doesn't know, and Debbie's furious that she's not even willing to share it with someone who she supposedly loves."
How does Declan find out the truth?
"Debbie agrees to go with Charity to get the abortion, and then Declan stops her in the street. He sees that she's been throwing up for a few days now and he works it out, because she's suddenly avoiding him and surreptitiously going around. Declan just clocks her strange behaviour and he says 'Oh my god, you're pregnant, aren't you?'
"Then that causes another hellish situation, because now somebody else knows and it's her partner, and he's just said that he loves her. He's dropped the 'L-word' in, so it's all getting more complicated than Charity ever imagined it would be with Declan.
The pregnancy has begun this whole tangled web of deceit, because Declan is really desperate for a child because he lost his own daughter.
"The fact that Charity is pregnant is almost like a flicker of hope for Declan that he can be the father that he always wanted to be."
How does Charity feel about that?
"Charity's like, 'Are you joking? I can't even look after myself, I'm so selfish, I'm so absorbed in my own world. I can't have a child'. That's the beauty of Declan and Charity, though - Charity can literally stand there and go, 'I want an abortion, because I can't look after this child because I'm too selfish'. She can actually stand there and say that to her boyfriend. It's brilliant that they have that brutal honesty, despite the subject matter being quite controversial."
Then Declan proposes to Charity…
"Yes, Charity says to him that actions speak louder than words, and he says, 'Alright then, what do you want to do? Put it on a card?' She goes, 'Yes, let's write down 'Charity's pregnant' and send it around the village'. He says, 'Why don't we write down 'Everyone, come to our wedding''. Charity stops dead, and she realises that's more like a proposal."
Is Charity suspicious of Declan's motives?
"Yes, she's already had a really interesting conversation with Debbie where she's said, 'I want to test Declan, I want to see how far he's willing to go for me'. There are advantages to being pregnant, so Charity is being quite devious. She's more or less saying, 'Is it the fact that I've got a seed inside me, that you want me to be yours? Or do you want me as well as this baby?'
"Of course Declan really is interested in having this baby, because she's pregnant, so why wouldn't he be? Naturally he's going to want the baby, but I think suddenly Charity starts feeling a bit jealous and that it's more about the baby than it is her. She thinks this is one whole mess of an idea, so no, it ain't going to happen. So she chucks him out.
"Again, Charity is very thoughtful about it after he's gone. I don't know if it's part of her gameplan, because she's just seeing whether he's going to come back for more. She puts people to the test, maybe because she feels she was so unloved as a child."
Could Charity be a better mum this time around?
"Well, she talks herself into having the baby because she thinks, 'You know what, Declan has said we will get a nanny. So you will have the responsibility of that child split between you, me, and a nanny'. She starts to think this could work and things start to look more appealing.
"Debbie at this point still thinks that Charity is going to a put a stop to the pregnancy, but after Declan's proposal, she decides to keep the baby. So Debbie's like, 'Why are you doing this? Two minutes ago you were going to go for a termination, and now suddenly you want this baby.' She's a mixed-up person."
After they announce their engagement, Debbie actually goes to warn Declan that Charity could have ulterior motives. What do you make of that?
"It's fabulous, and such a bold move for Debbie to interfere in her mother's goings-on. When Charity finds this out, there's a great scene in the Woolpack toilets where Charity just tells her, 'How dare you, what are you playing at? You're interfering in my life'. Debbie says, 'I wish I could believe that you really want this child, but I can't help thinking it's just because you'll get the big house and you'll get a nanny, and is it all for the right reasons?'
"Charity knows that she's inherently quite a selfish character, but she vows that she's changed and that she's going to be a decent mum. And she almost believes it, she thinks she's going to be fine this time."
Does Charity get cold feet afterwards?
"Reality dawns on her the more it's going down the line, and Declan is buying Moses baskets for the baby. It freaks her out. She's just not that sort of person to sit and go, 'Wow, that's a gorgeous Moses basket'. It's just more symbolic gestures that it is really coming true. Charity is faced with it more and more.
"Also, Jai walks in and sees the Moses basket. They went through a whole year where Jai really wanted a baby, and Charity vowed 'Never, ever, ever.' Again Charity realises what a hypocrite she's being. Obviously I know she got caught out and she didn't mean to get pregnant, but it's so complicated and she realises it can't go ahead. So she does privately, and without anyone's knowledge, go and see a consultant - except Chas knows."
Charity does have a little heart-to-heart with her little boy Noah. Could he change things for her?
"Charity is just thinking, 'I've screwed up Debbie's life, I've screwed up Noah's life. At least I can try and make Noah's life better by loving him more'. She's passed Noah from pillar to post, she still does. There's episodes where the audience come up to me and go, 'Where's Noah?' I say, 'I'm so sorry, I don't write the scripts'. Noah disappears for episodes on end.
"Charity does have this habit of saying, 'Lisa can you look after Noah?' and then goes out for meals with Declan or whatever. It's no life for a child.
"In this case, they have a little heart-to-heart where she says, 'I love you, and as long as you know that' and all that kind of thing. Young kids are so resilient in a way, but you never forget, do you?"

Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey looks set to be at the centre of the soap's biggest storyline this autumn.
Speaking at an Emmerdale press event today (August 11), series producer Kate Oates confirmed that she has big plans for the ruthless character.
Autumn is expected to be another dramatic time for the village, following in the tradition of Carl King's murder in October 2012 and the Woolpack siege and flood in October 2013.
Hinting at what's in store this year, Oates explained: "It is definitely going to be a big autumn. Obviously we've got a short tradition now of trying to go really, really big in the autumn.
"I've said before and I stand by it, that I don't necessarily want to get us into a place where we're tying ourselves in knots trying to do a stunt every October, because then it stops becoming about story and starts becoming about being in competition with yourself.
"But we have got a massive storyline coming up in the autumn, and it may be Charity in the firing line this time! You'll just have to see what happens there."
Fans have been waiting for a comeuppance for Charity ever since she started the year by teaming up with Declan to frame Rachel Breckle for the Christmas fire at Home Farm.
She also recently shocked fans by faking a miscarriage to fool Declan after she had secretly terminated her pregnancy.
no Charity has to be the queen bitch in control - thats where the character excels?
Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey will persuade her daughter Debbie Dingle to cover for her next week as her abortion lie looks set to be exposed.
Megan (Gaynor Faye) is left stunned when she finally learns that Charity (Emma Atkins) had a termination earlier in the year, rather than suffering a miscarriage as she has been claiming.
With her son Robbie firmly on board, the pair then attempt to persuade Declan (Jason Merrells) that Charity has been lying to him all this time.
Although Declan initially appears reluctant to believe them, their talk starts to unnerve him and he makes a call to his solicitor, enquiring about their pre-nup agreement.
Later, he sends Charity into a panic when he asks her to accompany him to the abortion clinic to prove she didn't terminate their unborn baby.

Charity tries to throw Declan off the scent
Feeling trapped and unable to see a way out, an increasingly worried Charity realises she needs to think creatively if she wants to throw Declan off the scent.
After trying and failing to persuade Chas to pretend it was her who had the abortion, Charity then heads over to ask Debbie (Charley Webb) the same favour.
Once at Debbie's, Charity wastes little time in telling her daughter that she lied about having a miscarriage, explaining she in fact had a secret abortion.
While Debbie is lost for words over her mother's deceit, Charity then drops the bombshell that she has told Declan it was Debbie who had the abortion instead.
Charity then begs a disgusted Debbie to cover for her to Declan, but what will Debbie decide to do?

Saw that coming, Debbie lying for her mother. Pete will find out somehow and then what? Debbie should come clean and drop Charity right in it. And the whole truth should come out about the fire and Declan and Cherity go to prison.
Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has told Digital Spy that she is looking forward to the moment that her character Charity Macey finally gets her comeuppance.
Charity comes dangerously close to having her deception exposed in tonight's tense double bill of episodes (September 4) as her arch-nemesis Megan (Gaynor Faye) discovers that she lied about suffering a miscarriage.
Megan's son Robbie (Jamie Shelton) uncovers the secret when he spots an abortion clinic among the previously-stored addresses on Charity's sat-nav system.
Although Charity's husband Declan (Jason Merrells) is reluctant to believe the worst of her, the game could be up as Megan and Robbie become determined to secure further proof.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the storyline, Atkins explained: "I absolutely love playing Charity when she's at her worst, because that's when she's at her best - but obviously that comes with consequences.
"Charity is building lie upon lie, and that obviously has to come out at some point. As an actress, I know that will eventually unveil itself, so it's exciting because I know the writers have a lot more in store for me to play. I feel very lucky that they have given me that opportunity."
Discussing whether Charity can be redeemed, she continued: "A lot of the things that Charity does seem quite evil, but in the past she's always managed to redeem herself again in the eyes of her family.
"She's quite a shameless woman with no scruples, as she's willing to betray and hurt people to get her own way. It's not a particularly good way to live your life, but somehow she manages to redeem herself.
"I think the writers have Charity behave badly, but then they drop her to the very bottom so she has to work her way back up again and gain people's trusts back. Whether she can do that this time, I don't know."
With Charity aware that Megan will stop at nothing to destroy her, she even begs her daughter Debbie (Charley Webb) to cover for her by claiming that she was the one who had the termination.
Atkins continued: "Charity is onto the fact that Megan is now digging for dirt on her. She's mortified when the sat-nav situation first crops up, so she gets herself into quite a state of desperation.
"The awful thing is that she's got to a point of no return, so it doesn't matter who she's going to hurt next. As far as she's concerned, she's just got to stop Declan from finding out, or otherwise her life and her marriage are over.
"Even betraying Debbie now is of no great importance to her. That's what is so awful about Charity - she is beyond caring at that point. She'll deal with that when it needs to be dealt with, but she's deluded and I think she even begins to believe her own lies!"
Emmerdale continues tonight (September 4) at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.

Emma Atkins has spoken to Digital Spy about filming this week's dramatic episodes, admitting that they were "unpleasant" but "brilliant" to work on.
The actress's character Charity Macey looks set to face a terrifying ordeal over the next few days, as her vengeful husband Declan (Jason Merrells) plans to kill her while they are on holiday at a remote cottage.
Declan has already tried to poison Charity after discovering that she secretly aborted their baby and then lied about suffering a miscarriage.
Atkins told Digital Spy of this week's storyline: "It's been fun and intense to film. At times it's been horrible and quite unpleasant, but also brilliant. We've had to go to places that aren't particularly pleasant in one's emotional state of mind, but it's been necessary for the journey that Charity and Declan have both gone on.
"It's been an arduous task and a brilliant one, but I was screwed after one of the filming days in particular - I was ready for a bath and bed! But it was so rewarding at the same time.
"We've filmed most of it in chronological order, which has been an absolute godsend. It's quite a minefield of madness when you know that you've got to film all of these emotions, so for it to be in chronological order helps us enormously."
The dramatic events surrounding Charity and Declan follow a year of bad behaviour from both of them, but it seems that they are about to get their comeuppance in one way or another.
Discussing the viewer response to Charity's antics, Atkins explained: "I get a lot of comments about Charity betraying Sam, and how could you ever do that to your own family? But the beauty of this story is that the audience will get to see Charity's comeuppance.
"From a moral point of view, she's got to have that - there's got to be a judgement day for what she did. She did a hell of a big thing by sending Jai's child away, but she did it because she was hell-bent on vengeance because he'd had his sordid one-night stand with Rachel on the factory floor.
"Sam ended up in the firing line and she absolutely destroyed his happiness to get the money for the Home Farm fire. There's got to be a comeuppance for that."
Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey faces further turmoil next week as she becomes fearful that her unstable husband Declan will make a shock return.
Charity (Emma Atkins) narrowly escaped with her life this week when Declan (Jason Merrells) lured her away to a remote cottage and tried to kill her, wanting revenge following her lies and betrayal.
The explosive week of episodes led to Declan and Robbie Lawson both plunging into a lake following a violent showdown for the Maceys, but only Robbie's dead body was recovered from the water in the aftermath.
With Declan's sister Megan convinced that he is still alive, Charity is left terrified and she fears that he could turn up at any moment to get his final revenge.
Feeling unsafe at Home Farm, Charity decides that she needs some protection and it's Sam Dingle who comes to her aid as he becomes her guard at the mansion.
Sam insists that he owes Charity because of how often she has helped him. However, Charity is wracked with guilt as she knows that she doesn't deserve Sam's help after destroying his happiness with Rachel Breckle at the start of the year.
An Emmerdale source told Digital Spy: "As Megan grieves for Robbie, Charity's main concern is Declan and the possibility that he could come back. Should she be worried?"
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Monday (September 29) at 7pm on ITV.

Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey continues to face the consequences of her actions next week as her full collection of lies are finally exposed.
Charity (Emma Atkins) has already experienced a horrendous ordeal this month, as her deranged husband Declan recently tried to kill her on a countryside holiday. Since then, her vengeful sister-in-law Megan has also revealed her miscarriage lies in the village.
Despite the recent turbulent events, Charity looks set to get the last laugh next week as the police call off the search for Declan, convinced that he didn't survive the Maceys' violent showdown at the lake.
This means that Charity looks set to inherit the Home Farm estate, allowing her to profit greatly from Declan's apparent demise.
Unfortunately for Charity, there is even more turmoil ahead for her as next week's episodes see the rest of her lies exposed.

Emmerdale marks its 42nd birthday and 7,000th episode with another explosive storyline next week as scheming Charity Macey is attacked and held captive in a shipping container.
The shock incident unfolds after Charity decides to flee from the village for a while, feeling like an outcast after her lies are finally exposed.
With everyone assuming that Charity is lying low away from the village, nobody has any idea of the terrible danger that she is in. To make matters worse, Charity's captor later has a shocking accident of their own and is no longer able to provide her with basic supplies. Could this be the end of Charity?
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - reveals all the gossip on another unmissable week for her character.
Does Charity really believe that Declan is dead?
"Charity assumes that she's killed Declan, but it starts to become apparent following a few visits from Megan that he's possibly not dead at all. When the news came through that a body had been found, Charity secretly hoped that it would be Declan's. The fact that it was Robbie's was another blow for Charity because Declan could still be alive.
"It's quite terrifying for Charity to still be there at Home Farm now. If Declan is still at large, he's going to want to finish the job - so an element of paranoia starts to seep into Charity's world. It's just beginning to dawn on her that she's not as safe as she had hoped."
Charity's lies are exposed this week, including how she manipulated Rachel into leaving with baby Archie. How does everybody respond to that?
"People now realise how disloyal and fraudulent Charity has been with the insurance scam and the Home Farm fire. As soon as they find out, they confront her and there's the most almighty row up at Home Farm between Charity and the Dingles. It's Charity versus her own family and Jai.
"They're all so angry that Charity has cheated them of the truth for so long. She is completely and utterly ostracised by her family - more than she ever has been before. They all pretty much wash their hands of Charity and tell her that she's on her own now. That's a horrible state of affairs for Charity."
Does it affect the wider village too?
"Yes, the whole village practically disowns Charity because she has done so many awful things, so I think the audience will be pleased that she is going to get her comeuppance and finally she will be brought to justice for what she's done.
"I'm also pleased with that as an actress, because when you're representing that sort of character, there's always got to be a judgement day. It's great that will play out now."
The shock arrival of a DVD also causes big problems, doesn't it?
"Yes, suddenly this DVD presents itself. The first Charity knows of it is at Home Farm when her solicitor comes in and says, 'I think you need to watch this!' Charity sits down, prepares herself, watches it and sees Declan sat there on the screen. Declan admits that he is responsible for a lot of bad things, but the woman behind it all was the worst perpetrator of all - his wife Charity Macey!
"Charity is gobsmacked. It's quite funny and I think the audience will love it. As the DVD has been sent to the police and the insurers, Charity says, 'What can you do to get me off? As far as I'm concerned, it was a lot more 50/50 than he's letting on!'
"But then the solicitor points out that Charity has just admitted her guilt and he can't possibly represent her now. Charity is absolutely furious because she's let the cat out of the bag without meaning to."
What does Charity do next?
"It's looking likely that Charity will be destitute, so she decides to cut her losses and leave the village for a while. Charity's main concern is Noah, so she goes to see the Dingles in the pub. She says that she's going to go away, but she's scared of taking Noah with her because of the possible danger. Debbie says that she's still ostracising Charity, but she will never turn her back on Noah and agrees to look after him.
"Charity then takes some money from the safe at Home Farm. Megan and Jai turn up as they want the truth about where Archie is, but obviously Charity doesn't have a clue. This is the bad thing - it pulls out so many skeletons from Charity's closet but she genuinely doesn't have the answers to help anyone out. It's not like she can turn around and reveal where Archie is. She's created world war three really!"
What can you tell us about the attack on Charity?
"After leaving the village, Charity is driving along a dirt track and there's a car further down the road facing the opposite way with all of the doors open and the lights on. Charity wonders what this inconvenience is, so she gets out of the car. As she goes nearer to investigate, she is greeted by a huge knock on the back of the head. Later she wakes up in a shipping container."
What were those scenes like to film?
"It was incredible and a real challenge. We filmed it over two or three days and it was hard work, actually. It was more mentally challenging than it was physical, because it's so dark and Charity has no idea where she is at first. She's chained at one ankle so she can move around slightly.
"Whoever's left Charity in there has left just a bucket for her to relieve herself. There's also a bottle of water as whoever has got her there turns up and throws it at her! Charity realises that whoever has got her there is not messing around - it's serious."
Does Charity think it's Declan?
"Yes, Charity is terrified that it's Declan. What she went through at the cottage has made her realise that Declan is absolutely dead set on finishing her off. Charity thinks that it's game over - it's the end of the road and she's going to die. It's terrifying for her. She's screaming out to Declan as she hears noises and assumes it's him but there's no answer. She's being completely terrorised."
Did you put yourself in that frame of mind?
"Yeah, I tried to as much as I could. You want to take yourself to the most truthful situation you can, to be able to act with a sense of authenticity. Obviously I knew that I wasn't really locked in a shipping container, so you've just got to let your imagination take over.
"In between takes, the first assistant director would offer to unchain me so that I could go for a walk, but I decided that it would be more fitting if I stayed where I was. The more uncomfortable I felt, the more I felt like I was really in that situation."
To make matters worse, Charity's captor later has a shock accident of their own and nobody else knows where she is…
"Yes, but Charity doesn't know that! She thinks that she's been left for dead and her time's up. The little bottle of water that was thrown in is only going to last for a short time. There's no more thrown in, so Charity starts to lose a sense of normality. She starts to go a little bit off the wall."
Do you think the audience will be sympathetic towards Charity?
"It all depends, because I'm sure you've got people who dislike the character immensely. They'll think that it's about time and hope she dies. But I think there'll be a lot of people who possibly have watched the whole journey Charity has gone on, have seen that she makes mistakes and hope that she'll learn her lesson.
"Then you'll have your ardent Charity fans who love her and think that it's all so unfair! I think there'll be a real mixture and that's great - you can't have everyone loving your character and you can't have everyone hating your character. People do keep coming up to me and saying, 'Oh, when is Charity going to get her comeuppance?' It's good that people are saying that and this is definitely it."
How does this storyline compare to the cottage week?
"In terms of filming, they were both extremely challenging in their own right, however, I think the journey Charity has been on in the cottage and everything afterwards only heightens and intensifies what goes on in the shipping container. We can't forget that Declan dug a grave and dragged Charity to it, so she knows how far he's willing to go to get rid of her. It's just so terrifying!"
A new Emmerdale trailer has been released, showing Charity Macey (Emma Atkins) having another very bad week.
The video shows the aftermath of Declan Macey (Jason Merrells) gathering Charity's family together at gunpoint and exposing all of her secrets, which leads to someone taking revenge against her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qO6O6l5ZiU
The dramatic storyline has seen Charity's recent bad decisions exposed to all of her family and friends, who have turned against her. Recent secrets - the Home Farm fire, the insurance scam and Rachel Breckle's departure with baby Archie - have shocked everyone.
Now that all of her secrets have been revealed, Charity decides to leave the village to get away from all those she has lied to, but before she can leave, she's attacked and held captive in a shipping container.
With everyone in the village believing she has left, nobody is looking for her.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.

Who kidnaps Charity? We round up the suspects and motives
Emmerdale fans will have a compelling mystery to ponder after tonight's dramatic episode (October 13) sees one of Charity Macey's many enemies take revenge against her.
After being ostracised by her entire family, Charity is attacked and kidnapped just as she is trying to do a runner from the village. A week from hell then follows as she is left chained up in a shipping container, where nobody can hear her cries for help.
Who would take such a drastic step to teach Charity a lesson? Here, we take a look at the official suspects…
http://i1.cdnds.net/14/37/618x402/soaps-emmerdale-6978-4.jpg
Declan Macey
If we didn't already know it, the past few weeks have shown that persistence is definitely one of Declan's strong points! When lacing Charity's wine with pesticide went awry, Declan lured her off for a cottage holiday and made numerous attempts to kill her. That didn't work out exactly as planned either (RIP Robbie), but Declan has just enjoyed some better luck by exposing Charity's lies and making her a hate figure. Having finally made some progress, could the Home Farm businessman still have one card left to play?
Now that Charity is totally alone and vulnerable, Declan has the perfect opportunity to kidnap her and finish her off for good. There certainly seems to be unfinished business between the pair and with Declan still very much on the loose, it's no surprise that he's at the top of our suspect list.
http://i2.cdnds.net/14/31/618x433/soaps-emmerdale-6947-2.jpg
Megan Macey
Megan has hated Charity ever since the ruthless blonde got her claws into Declan. Animosity between the feisty characters quickly escalated from there, building up to Charity framing Megan for causing her 'miscarriage'. We thought their tension couldn't get any worse after Megan discovered the truth about Charity's twisted lie, but recently events took another tragic twist as Megan's son Robbie became the casualty of the Macey madness in Emmerdale's cottage week.
Megan now blames Charity for the loss of Robbie, Declan being driven to a breakdown, and her partner Jai being without his young son Archie. With this in mind, Megan has more reasons than most to take Charity down - so could this week's episodes see the ultimate battle unfold between the bitter enemies?
http://i1.cdnds.net/13/29/618x475/soaps-emmerdale-6622-1.jpg
Cain Dingle
He may have calmed down in the past couple of years, but if there's one man in Emmerdale who's perfected the art of kidnapping, it's Cain Dingle. Bundling Charity off and holding her captive in a shipping container would be classic Cain and a great opportunity for the show's writers to re-explore the popular character's darker side.
While we don't believe that Cain would ultimately want to kill Charity, it's clear that he disapproves of her decision to break the Dingle code by turning against her own and destroying Sam's happiness. After seeing how badly Charity's scheming has affected the entire family, could Cain decide to give her a scare that she won't forget in a hurry?
http://i2.cdnds.net/13/46/618x425/soaps-emmerdale-6723-5.jpg
Jai Sharma
Jai has proven himself to be a liar and a cheat over the past couple of years, but there's no denying the strength of the attachment he felt towards his son Archie. The factory boss was devastated when Rachel Breckle fled from the village with Archie at the start of the year, but he's only just found out that puppet-master Charity was behind the whole thing.
Now that there's a possible lead to Rachel and Archie's whereabouts, Jai is determined to get answers from Charity. While Charity genuinely has no idea of how to find Rachel now that so many months have passed, Jai isn't ready to take her word for it, so could he be the one to kidnap her to loosen her tongue?
http://i1.cdnds.net/14/21/618x409/soaps-emmerdale-6884-85-2.jpg
Zak Dingle
A Dingle family member becoming a hate figure in the village before being targeted in a shock attack does sound slightly familiar! Three years ago, it was Cain who became public enemy number one in Emmerdale - earning himself a brutal beating from an unknown culprit. After a few weeks of red herrings and suspicion all round, Cain's own father Zak was unveiled as the person responsible.
History does sometimes repeat itself in the soap world, so could Charity's recent actions force Zak to step up as head of the family and deal with her? We'd like to think that Zak has learned violence isn't the answer, but his past form certainly makes him someone to keep an eye on.
http://i1.cdnds.net/14/40/618x424/soaps-emmerdale-6997-6.jpg
Debbie Dingle
An icy cold glare and cutting comment from Debbie is usually enough to send her enemies on their way, but we all know it takes more than that to ruffle Charity's feathers. Debbie is disgusted with her mum after hearing everything that she's been up to this year, and tonight's episode sees her make it very clear that she can't forgive Charity this time.
Debbie also has a track record when it comes to terrorising her own family, as last year she kidnapped her aunt Chas and held her at gunpoint as part of their ongoing battles over killer Cameron Murray's heart. If a love triangle is enough to send Debbie over the edge, who knows how she'll respond to the recent revelations of threats, arson and blackmail?
http://i2.cdnds.net/14/40/618x422/soaps-emmerdale-6997-5.jpg
Sam Dingle
Sam is a gentle soul at heart, but his temper has reached boiling point following the revelation that Charity deliberately sabotaged his happiness with Rachel Breckle for her own purposes. We've already seen Sam angrily confront Charity over her betrayal, and tonight he has another furious showdown with her when she has the audacity to pay him a visit at the Dingles' home.
After rowing with Charity, Sam watches a DVD that Declan has recorded and sent to various residents of the village. The footage sees Declan urge everyone not to let Charity get away with her crimes, and a livid Sam certainly seems to be taking this on board as he watches. Could he really go as far as kidnapping Charity?
http://i2.cdnds.net/13/23/618x453/soaps-emmerdale-6577-2.jpg
Ali Spencer
Ali always knew that Charity had forced Rachel to confess to the Home Farm fire and flee the village, so she's one of the only people who hasn't been shocked by the recent revelations from Declan.
Despite this, the truth finally being exposed has brought back the injustice of the situation for Ali - leaving her determined to track down Rachel and bring her back home. When Ali is unable to get in touch with Rachel, she decides to confront Charity for answers on where she might be. Ali definitely isn't one to shy away from a public row, but would she go a step further by holding Charity captive?

Even Charity's daughter Debbie doesn't really like her. I think Chas is perhaps her only friend in the village.

I soooo agree with you Serena, I can't stand Charity either and that would have been the perfect ending to the whole Declan saga. If they are going to keep her on this show, I think she should have a relationship with Rakesh, and hopefully that would get rid of Priya who I cant stand more then Charity. I think Charity & Rakesh would make a very ruthless couple. Before both head off into the sunset. JMO LOL

Emma Atkins is taking a hiatus from Emmerdale because she is pregnant.
Atkins's character Charity Dingle was written out of the soap in tonight's (January 20) episode, as she was imprisoned for perverting the course of justice.
The actress announced her intentions to take a year away from Emmerdale in a video on the ITV website.
Her co-star Charley Webb offered congratulations on Twitter, writing: "Finally-everyone knows Emma is leaving to have a baby. Can't wait to be an 'Aunty' again… Emmerdale will miss 'Charity' but she'll be back."
Charity's temporary departure from the soap was tied into the return of Gemma Oaten as Rachel Breckle.
Atkins debuted on Emmerdale as the vixen Charity in 2000, remaining in the main cast until 2005. Charity made a shocking return to Emmerdale back in 2009.
a year without charity, no that is too long
Emmerdale actress Emma Atkins has revealed she is eight months pregnant having kept her baby secret for most of her pregnancy.
You would think being on screen most days of the week would make it tricky to hide an enormous baby bump, but Emma Atkins has achieved the impossible, keeping her pregnancy under wraps until her Charity Dingle storyline played out.
Not to us SoapBoarders :nono:
Soap bosses were keen to preserve the story, and felt that if viewers new Emma was pregnant they’d already know the outcome of the plot.
The outcome was revealed earlier this week as Charity was sent to prison for two years after a surprise witness propped up during her court case.
‘I can’t believe we managed to keep it a secret for so long, I am so delighted,’ she told The Sun.
‘It couldn’t come at a nicer time, if all goes according to plan then I’ll have my baby just before my 40th birthday, it’ll be such a nice birthday present.’
During Emma’s recent scenes, which saw her character running away through the woods from her murder-plotting husband, a stunt double was on hand just in case things got a bit much for the pregnant actress.
But even the actress is glad that Charity has finally come a cropper of her own wicked ways.
‘It was wonderful because Charity always thought she could get away with it, then suddenly she’s served a curve ball.
‘People love to defend their characters, but I can’t, she’s such a wrong’un and full of naughtiness.’

Charity Dingle will return to the soap for one episode next week as Cain pays her a visit in prison
Charity (Emma Atkins) was written out of the soap last month when she was imprisoned for perverting the course of justice.
In scenes to be aired next week, Cain will lie to his wife Moira when he takes Charity's son Noah to see her.
However, despite his secrecy, it is clear that Cain is dreading seeing his former lover as he is worried about her feelings for him.
Arriving at the prison, Noah is delighted to see Charity, but Cain is left in an awkward predicament when he goes to leave and Charity begs him to stay.
Charity is clearly relieved to see Cain but after she sends Noah off to a vending machine, she begins to talk to Cain alone, What will she say?
In real life, Atkins is having a year's break from the soap due to pregnancy.
Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has confirmed that she gave birth to a baby son last month.
The actress, who plays Charity Dingle on the ITV soap, welcomed her first child with her partner Tom.
Speaking of the news for the first time, Atkins told The Sun: "We've had a lovely, healthy baby boy.
"He arrived just before my 40th birthday, which was the best present."
Atkins's pregnancy news was only announced officially in January, after Emmerdale viewers had watched Charity receive a two-year jail sentence for perverting the course of justice.
While some fans had noticed the efforts to hide Atkins's baby bump on screen, show bosses wanted viewers to be surprised by Charity's shock exit.
In an interview after Charity's imprisonment, Atkins confirmed that she would be taking a year off from Emmerdale.
She said at the time: "It's only right that Charity is brought to justice and is going to prison for two years, but don't worry - I'm sure she'll be out on good behaviour if she plays her cards right!
"I am leaving probably for about a year, because I'm leaving to have a baby which is really exciting. I will miss Emmerdale so much but it's a new little journey in my own life that I'm taking on now. But I'll miss everyone and I can't wait to go back."

Emmerdale schemer Charity Dingle may currently be locked away in prison, but it seems that may not stop her from causing trouble for her family from afar.
Show producer Kate Oates has revealed that the ITV soap will soon be revisiting Charity's storyline, as she tries her best to secure an early release.
The ruthless character has been handed a two-year jail sentence for perverting the course of justice, but as fans well know that Charity is never down on her luck for long, could she already be on the right track to freedom?
Oates told Emmerdale's official website: "The eagle-eared amongst you may remember that when Cain went to visit Charity in prison, she told him that maybe she had a little bit of a scam up her sleeve that might give her a reduced sentence.
"We're going to be revealing what that is really soon, and it's going to have a huge impact on Debbie and the rest of the Dingles."
Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, is taking a one-year break from Emmerdale as she is currently on maternity leave. She welcomed the arrival of a baby son last month.
Charity's exit aired in January, but she reappeared briefly on screen the following month for Cain's visit.
While speaking to her old flame, Charity teased: "I could be out sooner than expected. Let's just say life has a way of surprising you."

I hope its not Cain -that would be too reptitious!!
Id have thought a baby was more of a long
term.commitment rather than a " bit of a scam"
but Im not a Dingle.
Would being pregnant get her an early release-
women do give birth in prison.!
Not sure how long long in"real time" that she's
been in prison -so how far has pregnancy
progressed-unless its a male member of staff
that is the father.
It would explain Debbie being upset/ Cain
beiing thoughtful/ Dingles being stunned.
So.overall a good rumour Lizann -hope there's
some truth in it. Has Declan been gone too
long to be involved? And if its Ross- Debbie
will have her eyes out!!
Promising very Promising!

Emmerdale has introduced a new member of the Dingle family in a shock storyline twist - Charity's newborn baby.
Viewers had no idea that Charity was pregnant, but she welcomed the new arrival in Thursday evening's double bill (June 11) after she keeled over with stomach cramps in prison and was rushed to hospital.
The surprise scenes took place just as Charity's daughter Debbie was paying her a visit at the jail.
Once the rest of the Dingles heard news of a family emergency and gathered at the hospital, Charity had already given birth. Lisa, Zak, Chas, Cain and Moira were all left stunned as Debbie appeared holding the newborn baby boy.
Charity's son will be living in the village as she has named Debbie as his legal guardian in her absence.
Charity's secret has rocked the Dingle family and the drama continues over the next few weeks as they wonder who the baby's father could be.
Show bosses had hinted that Charity's latest return appearance would come with a twist, but the baby secret was kept well under wraps until the episode aired.
Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, is currently on a break from Emmerdale as she has taken maternity leave.
Atkins gave birth to a baby son in March - her first child with her partner Tom.

Could still be Declan's baby - the time she was sick with poisoning could have doubled as morning sickness and those pregnancy tests she took could have given an early negative reading. Or - that last night they spent together at the cottage could have been the time she fell pregnant. It then opens it up for Declan's return at a later date once he finds out he has a son. And if it is Declan's there is no way Charity would want Declan finding out he has a child, so she would rather name someone else as the father. The timing also works - September/October to June... she was still with Declan 9 months ago...
Was the baby prem or full term? We're still a couple of months behind the UK in NZ so won't see these episodes until August.

Another thought: Declan also made that video implicating Charity AFTER the lake incident so that showed him alive and well. He's just MIA and laying low. He can't afford to show his face again as he too is liable for the insurance fraud AND the arson. But hearing that he has a child?? THAT could bring him out of the woodwork.

Emmerdale producer Kate Oates has teased Charity Dingle's upcoming return to the village.
Viewers saw Charity receive a jail sentence earlier this year after she was found guilty of perverting the course of justice, but she briefly returned to screens over the summer after giving birth to Ross Barton's baby.
In real life, actress Emma Atkins is currently on a year-long break from the show, having welcomed her first child in April.
"Emma took a year off so she will be back soon," Oates told Inside Soap. "Before she went, we wanted to sow the seeds and have Charity say, 'I'm still in love with you, Cain, and when I get out I am coming for you!'
"Cain is prepared for that now, and so is Moira. Charity is not coming back to a warm and fluffy atmosphere - she thrives in a more difficult environment."
Oates also teased the upcoming return of Nikhil Sharma, who was last seen on screen in 2013.
Nikhil bowed out of the village for a new life in Canada following the tragic death of his wife Gennie, but it was recently announced that Rik Makarem would be reprising the role.
Speaking about what viewers can expect to see from Nikhil this time round, Oates said: "He was always such a specific character with OCD and his quirks, but he has been away, coped as a single parent and run businesses of his own.
"So he will come back with a bit more confidence and a bit more stature. Jai won't know what has hit him!"
I wish Charity would not come back - her character is sooo predictable - all she thinks of is conning people and/or going to bed with them - in any order. Why would anyone - including family - trust someone with her track record?

Of course, Charity could be on temporary compassionate release from jail because of Moses' recent bathroom drowning incident but I'm guessing that the storyline might be worked so that Debbie leaves as Charity returns full-time? We'll see on this later.

Nicola checks the accounting books this week (4-5 Feb) and finds Jimmy hasn't been keeping them properly for about a year. Charity went to prison in January 2015 and is due for release within weeks.

I suspect that Charity may call in a favour soon from Emma (reverse blackmail, just so like Charity to succeed and so like Emma to fail) so that maybe Charity moves into the Barton's house and is rubbing shoulders with Emma, Noah, Moses and Ross. This would be much more fun and dramatic than Charity moving into Butler's Farm, I reckon.

Charity has a share in the haulage business. 50% would be guessing.
Nicola told Jimmy in the Monday 1 Feb episode that "you're the one who owns half the company", so Charity does seem to own the remaining 50%.
Charity Tate's return to Emmerdale definitely seems like an event fans won't want to miss.
Emma Atkins is returning to the role of the village's number-one schemer to make life miserable for Cain and Moira, after taking a brief hiatus from the ITV soap.
Speaking to Digital Spy and other press, new Emmerdale producer Iain MacLeod promised fireworks when Charity kicks off her usual brand of trouble.
"Evidently we've got Charity's return to look forward to. That's happening about a month from now on screen," he teased.
"That's very literally high-octane and you'll see what I mean when the episode airs.
"I'm personally really excited to get my hands on a character that's that box office and that capable of anything. She could start a fight and a story in an empty room."
MacLeod also hinted that a major cliffhanger from Charity's most recent exit will definitely be coming back into play.
"You may remember when she left, she set her cap at Cain, and Charity certainly remembers the same," MacLeod said.
"So her intention is to try and destabilise Cain and Moira in any way she possibly can.
"There's a big long-term story there that'll pay off towards the end of the year with a fairly massive, heartbreaking dilemma for Cain in terms of where his loyalties really lie.
"That's one character that we all obviously know is coming back."
Emma Atkins has played the schemer dating all the way back to 2000 - making Charity one of the soap's most enduring characters.

Emmerdale boss Iain MacLeod promises a "sexy" return for jailbird Charity Dingle.
"There's a big flash sports car right in the middle of it," he reveals.
Emmerdale's producer Iain MacLeod has shared some new teasers about Charity Dingle's upcoming return, hinting that she'll be arriving back in style.
Emma Atkins has already made her permanent return to set after a year on maternity leave, so fans will see Charity released from prison in just a few weeks' time.
Never one to do things quietly, it sounds like Charity will be making her presence felt the very minute she gets her freedom again.
MacLeod told BBC Radio Leeds today (February 18): "Charity is coming back in about a month. I've literally yesterday just watched the episodes where she returns.
"They're funny, sexy, gritty and grimy - and there's a big flash sports car right in the middle of it! So it's amazing. I can't wait for people to see it."
Charity has been tipped to cause big trouble for Cain Dingle's marriage to Moira upon her return, as she continues to hold a torch for her old flame.
Speaking at an Emmerdale press event earlier this month, MacLeod explained: "You may remember when she left, she set her cap at Cain, and Charity certainly remembers the same. So her intention is to try and destabilise Cain and Moira in any way she possibly can.
"There's a big long-term story there that'll pay off towards the end of the year with a fairly massive, heartbreaking dilemma for Cain in terms of where his loyalties really lie."

After serving a year behind bars for perverting the course of justice, it soon becomes clear, however, that Charity hasn't learned anything from being inside when she speeds back to the village behind the wheel of a stolen sports car!
'Charity is penniless,' explains Emma Atkins, who plays her. 'She gets a tip-off in prison about a Ferrari she could steal and sell for cash. So, she takes a big risk which could easily land her back inside.'
Cain and Moira can't believe their eyes when they see Charity for the first time, after she loses control of the car and gets stuck in a muddy field!
While Cain warns Charity he'll hand her over to the police if there's any more trouble from her, Moira vows to keep a close eye on Charity, who's set to stay at Butler's Farm and has previously declared she's still in love with Cain.
When Charity is later reunited with bad boy Ross, the father of her baby son Moses[TW: ?], Charity suggests that they go back into business with their stolen cars racket.
But Ross rejects her dodgy business proposal [TW: Hoorah! There's hope for you yet, mate...one day? But this is soapland of course...] leaving Charity forced to plot to find money elsewhere. Knowing Ross's mum, Emma, is desperate to keep custody of moses, a wicked idea soon forms in Charity's mind...
'Charity's plan is so shameless the audience will think, "Surely not?" warns Emma. 'But if Charity has to do something dodgy for financial security she will do it.'
Is Charity about to sell her own son?
What's on TV, 5-11 March 2016
http://www.whatsontv.co.uk/emmerdale
Cain and Moira, who've been there for Noah while Charity has been inside, are appalled when she vanishes upon being released. Cain is convinced that her disappearing act is a permanent one, and braces Noah for a life without his mum. But Charity isn't gone for good - instead, she's busy plotting to get her hands on some cash by swiping a flash motor!
"You'd think she might have learned her lesson from being in jail for a whole year!" laughs Emma. "But she gets a tip-off that there's a car in someone's garage, and she gets the code for the keys so she can steal it. Charity has taken the biggest risk ever because it could quite easily land her back inside, but she likes taking risks. The trouble comes as she loses control of this big red Ferrari, drives it straight into a field and gets stuck in the mud!"
As it happens, the field belongs to Cain and Moira, who soon show up [TW: having been stopped by some wandering sheep in the lane nearby, 10 March] and complete Charity's humilation.

TW: New Charity seems to be such a naughty supergirl right now! Wise man say "Beware woman long fingers". Haha! BTW, history suggests that Charity did previously sell son Noah, so Charity already seems to have form on the kiddy-selling market!

I think that Charity has already really died, gone to Hell and is now going to return to really stir it all up in Emmerdale...! What I think we might be going to see shortly on Emmerdale is how she re-appears as a naughty supergirl and The Devil? There really seems to me anyway to be definite links to "Bedazzled", where the DevilGirl finds another of her hapless victims ready to sell his soul for the offer of some seven very dodgy wishes. The victim. of course, being hapless, bites and accepts the offer, only to find that each wish he makes has unforseen consequences and is a total joke on him, so he retracts each valuable wish and heads towards his sorry ass doom! (Some guys are such fools to fall for a woman who only wants money and things from them, so stories like "Bedazzled" really crack me up...! "She's behind you...yet again." Haha!)
It really seems to me that in every double act there is nearly always "the fall guy".
I've really held back lately by not speculating about that very special guy and tried to give him every break really but the really naughty boy in me thinks that the future looks really toasty orange for this very special guy right now unless he selflessly uses that last 7th wish for a happy future for "that very special girly one" and everything restarts with a happy ending during the following Emmerdale episode on the very next Monday evening. Soapland is so... Soapland! Haha!

Spoilers say that Moira leaves Charity's belongings at the pub on March 11.
So this could mean that Charity moves into the pub for a while or the Barton's house or somewhere random (for free)?
Spoilers say that all of Charity's money is currently tied up in the haulage business. Jimmy and Nicola recently down-sized from Mill Cottage due to business money problems and their office is now in the portacabin at the scrap yard. I suspect that the only value in the business may only be some vehicles (rented too?) and goodwill/present contracts. Maybe there isn't really a lot of money for Charity to get from this (has 50% share). We know that Charity arrives in Emmerdale in a stolen Ferrari but will this get sold on the black market?
One problem I have with the idea going around that Charity could later buy Diane's share in the pub is that both Chas and Charity have criminal records (violence, perjury), so it should be difficult if not impossible for either to get a personal pub licence. I'm guessing that maybe Diane (now in the B&B next door) could keep say 1% of the pub and remain as the registered pub licencee for now, or maybe Chas gets a third person to live-in at the pub?
There is a spoiler about the pending arrival of a new Dingle, described as a "gin-fuelled whirlwind" so I suppose that she could stay at the pub or Lisa's farm or Moira's farm. The new Dingle is going to be "a big, chaotic mess but while it may look like she’s fun and trouble, the story we get to is serious and a big family story will ensure" (Metro). So the new Dingle may not be a wise owl with wide eyes but maybe she will have a brain with much life experience? I'm guessing that the new Dingle could turn out to be Chas's and Cain's mother and that we will then learn more about Chas's and Cain's early lives?
Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.uk on 5 Feb 2016 quoted new Series Producer Iain MacLeod as saying:
‘There’s a new Dingle coming in. I made some notes before I came today and the words ‘gin-fuelled whirlwind’ sprung up so if I left it at that hopefully it’s intriguing enough. We wanted to bring someone in to illuminate the family in a way that perhaps hasn’t been done by the characters currently there. She’s a big, chaotic mess but while it may look like she’s fun and trouble, the story we get to is serious and a big family story will ensure. The character may or may not be called Faith but we haven’t got near a casting next.’

What do you do if you are short of a few quid in Soapland? Sell your child, obviously. Young Noah Dingle was less than impressed when he learned recently that his doting, honest and beloved mother Charity sold him when he was a nipper. But to be fair, that probably wasn't the worst of it either. Noah was born while Charity was serving a prison sentence for the murder of her husband Chris, who she wasn't even sure was the father due to the fact she had slept with both her cousins Cain and Marlon. With all this in mind, Charity decided to sell her newborn son to his aunt Zoe, but naturally, this was no selfless deed from the ever negotiable Charity. In return for Noah, Zoe had to tell the court that Chris framed Charity for murder and she was freed. Lovely.

The Devil: I am the Devil! Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, the Prince of Darkness! Well, the Princ-ess of Darkness, anyway.
The Devil: Seven utterly fabulous wishes for one piddling, little soul?
The Devil: You know, you'd think that meeting the Devil would be interesting enough but no. All people want to know about is Him. Like He's so bloody fascinating!
Elliot Richards: So He's a man?

Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has warned that her scheming character Charity Dingle will "play the long game" as she sets her sights on her old flame Cain.
Charity was harbouring strong feelings for Cain when she bowed out from the ITV soap last year, but don't expect her to make a play for him too quickly.
Viewers will see Charity arrive back in the village tomorrow (March 10) after being released from prison. Needing support from Cain and his wife Moira, she decides that it's best not to rock the boat - for now.

Speaking on ITV's This Morning today, Atkins explained: "I think she was going to pursue him immediately on exit of prison, but she decides to play the long game.
"They're a great close-knit [couple] now, Moira and Cain. And I think they're brilliant together as well. So I was kind of hoping they wouldn't immediately have Charity on his heels. So I think it's going to be a long-burn."
On Charity's connection to Ross Barton - the father of her baby son Moses - she continued: "He's just great for some wheeler-dealering, I think. They kind of have a love-hate relationship."
Atkins was on maternity leave throughout 2015 after becoming a mum to baby boy Albert, her first child. Her pregnancy was only announced after Charity had been jailed, preserving the top-secret storyline twist.

"It was all kept a little secret, which was fun to do actually," Atkins said today. "It was quite hard at times, when I felt thoroughly pregnant! I think I left at about 7 months, so it was fine actually and we managed to do it. But at the time I was thinking: 'How's it going to work?'
"I told them [early], because I had lots of stunts with Jason Merrells. His character wanted to kill my character, so that all had to be sorted out with stunt co-ordinators. I was secretly a bit frightened because I was pregnant, but the stunt co-ordinators were brilliant so it was fine."
Discussing her year off, she added: "I loved it. But I've loved coming back. I've been dying to get back into the job."

Charity gives Doug the cash
Show bosses are leaving fans to guess whether Charity's new position could provide her with the stability she needs, or simply go to her head. But with Charity's reputation, it's sure to be the latter and Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) may have a fight on her hands to keep her in line.
Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, commented: "It is just brilliant to see her behind the bar. Something very different. She will be under the watchful eye of Chas, but both characters can give as good as they get so it will be a colourful dynamic.
"My pint pulling can literally floor my workmates, by being brilliant one minute and horrendous the next. It's a continuity extravaganza as I'm learning the ropes from the props guys and Lucy of course.
"It's a skill in itself having to say the lines, work the props and try and give a fluid performance without having an expression of dread wondering if the pint will have a good head of 'froth' on it!"
If the dodgy pint-pulling wasn't bad enough, we fear that Charity's attitude could be enough to drive the customers away for good.
Atkins added: "The bar is a bit like a stage for Charity where she can show off and deliver her explosive one liners to the locals. Her behaviour will no doubt fluctuate from good to bad to ugly, with a decent dose of naughtiness thrown in."
Tonight's Emmerdale double bill marks Charity's permanent return to the show. Atkins was on maternity leave throughout 2015, but made a number of guest appearances over the course of the year.
Emmerdale airs tonight (March 10) at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.

Emmerdale actress Emma Atkins has opened up about how she felt when returning to work after a year of maternity leave.
The 40-year-old, who gave birth to her first child Albert in April 2015, said becoming a mother has given her a new perspective on her character Charity Dingle.
"I feel a freer person," she told The Huffington Post UK and other reporters. "It’s the weirdest feeling, but I’ve come back with a new energy.
"Maybe that will help in terms of being a mum because, you don’t realise it until you become one how fiercely protective you become."
Atkins, whose character returned to TV screens at the beginning of March, came back from maternity leave in February 2016.
The actress said having her own child and giving birth gave her a sense of being able to achieve greater things at work.
"I'm not afraid anymore," she said. "You feel less afraid when you’ve had a baby.
"I was quite fearless anyway I guess, but I’ve got a sense of freedom now.
"I think it's been a really good thing to get my mojo back with the character. I’ve missed it, I’ve missed my job, I love my job.
"And I loved being at home with Albert, so to come back it’s refreshing."
One thing Atkins was worried about when returning to work was ensuring she still had a work/life balance.
After having a year off from filming, she initially thought having to leave her son at home would be "horrendous" - luckily it has been the opposite.
"I think everything needs a balance - life, work, everything - and now I’ve got that balance," Atkins explained.
"I miss him, but I’m absolutely fine with it because I see him at the end of the day and I can’t wait to hug the bones off him."
And Atkins has brought Albert to work on a few occasions.
"He’s not actually been on set, but he’s been into the makeup room and all the girls just go crazy for him, because he’s a cutie," she said.
But she doesn't want her son to get the acting bug.
"No! Absolutely no way, he’s not doing it no," she exclaimed. "Doctor, spaceman, not an actor."
When asked whether she'd have more children, Atkins wasn't shy to reveal her future family plans.
"Yes I would!" she said. "Probably one more but I’m 41 in two weeks so you can never take it for granted. I might not get pregnant.
"I think it’s the perfect age, but you just never know, do you?
"It might be that I can’t get pregnant. So never say never."

IMO, Charity has really owned Emmerdale since she returned last Thursday (10 Mar).
Charity has totally played the DevilGirl I predicted that she would/should, just like in the movie "Bedazzled".
Charity really has great instinct for money-grabbing selfish schemes (even if they are full of Swiss cheese holes, haha!)
I really love Charity right now!
That very special guy and his mother have been so totally played by Charity since she came back to Emmerdale last week.
I'm even starting to feel really sorry for that very special guy! (But I jest here really!) It's as if I'm in the shadows watching everything and I'm really laughing my socks off about how Charity is playing the easy hapless victims in Emmerdale right now, the No.1 hapless wonder being that very special guy, of course!)
Charity, for me anyway, has really owned Emmerdale in the episodes from last Thursday. I've really loved how she's really played and identified all of the biggest Emmerdale fools so early on. Charity threatens with her girly wiles but doesn't for now follow through beyond her [completely idiotic!] threats, of course. Haha!
All of Charity's latest "victims" are just really horrible people in Emmerdale, when based on their known histories, and really deserve everything Charity throws at them now, I reckon.
So, really, for me anyway, Charity has really come back to Emmerdale and is picking on the biggest hapless victims and scumbags first. (Charity, you are so totally honourable for me right now. Just bring it on even more, you so real DevilGirl!) I really would like Charity to do the power-dressing thing, though. This would be just the icing on the cake for me really...
As for that very special guy. Haha! The hair thing really came across on TV for me as a purple rinse when he was at the jeweller's! Haha! Wasn't there some CCTV too? Just who anywhere near remotely sensible would try to rob a High Street Harrogate jewellry shop like that and also park an obvious garage pick-up recovery vehicle nearby? Mental or what? (Like mother, like son? Haha!). BTW, that very special guy doesn't really do "Family Guy" at all for me. I really preferred that very special guy when he was mean and moody and a lone wolf who kept his emotions to himself. But, heyho, soapland is as soapland does and needs must...
Spoilers say that Charity becomes closely involved with Holly Barton soon and suggest that Cain and Charity may be a sort of item (once again?) by Xmas 2016? We'll see and time will tell on this maybe?

[QUOTE=Telly Watcher;844563]IMO, Charity has really owned Emmerdale since she returned last Thursday (10 Mar).
Well IMO: Charity has just repeated her past storylines and I don’t believe that she owed Emmerdale at all. Although, her re-entry into the village in a Ferrari was one for the books. But honestly I hardly think that there is anything more to Charity than a Gold-Digging/Scam-Artist. In other words she’s a one trick pony. It would be good to see Charity finally get a story where her character grows up (A Little), something with substance that doesn’t involve Cain or any other man that she has already been with or destroyed.

Emmerdale village has just not been the same without the tornado of destruction that is Charity Dingle.
Thank heavens she is now back and bringing chaos in her wake – from stolen cars to selling babies, she hasn’t changed a bit and we wouldn’t have it any other way. And, as you’d expect, there is much more to come from the Dales’ minx.
As she and Holly Barton team up to rob the Woolpack, we are reminded that Charity really has zero morals – and, down the line, that will prove very handy in her bid to snare her ex Cain from the hands of his wife, Moira.
We caught up with Emma Atkins, who took a year out to give birth to her son Albert, and she revealed what’s in store for Charity, whether she could ever win Cain back and how it’s been returning after twelve months away…
Can you talk us through what happens with Charity and Holly?
Holly puts it to Charity, she makes the suggestion that they could rob the Woolpack, make it look like it was a robbery and actually just steal some money from the safe. Charity’s really nervous about it and then she goes, you know what let’s do it. So she helps Holly set it up, she goes, ‘bring a rucksack, there’s about £30 grand down there’ and she goes down and what will be will be. They set the fire alarm off so that they can empty the pub in order to do the dastardly deed.
Had you ever worked with Sophie Powles before?
Our paths crossed but on a very minor level so I was really excited about working with her.
You’ve got the same hair as well!
Yeah, we look like sisters, don’t we?
Does Charity get involved with Holly in order to get back at Moira?
Yeah there is that element of, let me bring you into my fold, and spit you out. I think she’s quite jealous of Moira, to be honest, because she’s been taking good care of Noah whilst she’s been in prison and there’s been a real bond evolving between the two of them, much to Charity’s dismay. I think there’s a jealousy there that’s an underbelly of, she doesn’t really want anyone to know. But it’s definitely there. She’s stung a bit when she first comes out of prison and she’s in the kitchen and she sees just a natural bit of affection between them both and her blood’s boiling inside.
What about wooing Cain, is she still dead set on that?
Well you would think that after what she said when she went to prison, she was so determined to pursue him immediately on release, but I think she decides that she’s up against it because they have such a tight knit. They’re so good, Moira and Cain. They’re such a team, that I think she knows that it might be best leaving it for a while! I think she’s thinking, ‘Okay well if I’m going to do this, I’ll do it the right way and play the long game,’ and make Cain fall in love with her again somehow, somewhere, some day.
So that’s bubbling away?
Always, she’s always got that possessive nature I think. She assumes he’ll just come running at a click of a finger and he’s not going to because he likes Moira.
Do you think that will ever happen?
I personally always like that thing of, that moment when you see a couple and you want them to get together but the moment they do it’s a bit ‘what do we do now then?’ So it’s always that thing of keeping it burning, that slight desire, secret desire, is always good to watch and I think sometimes with certain characters, when you do want to place them together, it’s like ‘where do you go from here?’ I think the audience quite like the fight in them, rather than getting on. The bickering seems to be quite humorous and jovial and the banter’s good between them because they give as good as they get. I quite like just the before putting them together.
Do you think Charity’s learnt anything from her time in prison? Or has she been drawing up a new list?
There’s no reformed features in her whatsoever. When I first read the script that she was stealing a Ferrari less than 24 hours after her release, I thought good for artistic licence, because how are they getting away with this? But she just seems to be a fearless, ruthless woman and that maybe makes her likeable because she just doesn’t seem to care. But much to her detriment, I guess.
Is she easy to slip back into?
I honestly thought, do I even know how to act? That feeling of ‘I’ve been away for a year, I’ve been a mum, what if I suddenly can’t get this character and everyone’s going, ‘what’s she done to her character? Where’s she been? She really hasn’t got it anymore.’ That crossed my mind but I know my character so well that it is a bit like putting on a pair of gloves or a pair of socks. It came back quite quickly.
But the first day we filmed, it was ever so cold in the field that we were filming and the Porsche gets stuck. I read that the jacket gets ripped and I read that thinking, ‘yeah that’ll be fine’. But on the day the wind was so, you know when wind cuts through you, and it froze our faces so Nat Robb [Moira] and me, we were both trying to really get our blood back into our face because it was really holding us back.
Were you looking forward to coming back?
Yeah I think it’s been a really good thing to get my mojo back with the character. I’ve missed it, I’ve missed my job, I love my job. And I loved being at home with Albert so to come back it’s refreshing.
Have you been watching it while you’ve been off?
Do you know what the best way for me is, I’ll go on YouTube and I’ll put in storylines so I can catch up and watch people’s performances and stuff. I watched all of Charlotte ’s alcohol stuff on YouTube and I was blown away. I thought she was absolutely incredible, brilliant.
[B]Is there any storyline you’d like to see for Charity?
I just think people seem to like it when she’s at her best when she’s at her worst almost. So when she’s doing the worst things possible, people go, ‘oh you’re so naughty, but we love it’. So I love playing her being quite mischievous, so when she’s up to her neck in trouble I feel challenged more as an actress anyway because there’s a spectrum of emotion, isn’t there?
I think it would be quite interesting to see her being bullied because that’s something that’s happened in the past, I can’t think who with now. But I think it would be quite good for maybe her to be almost terrified of losing everything because somebody’s got a hold over her. I don’t know, that would be quite interesting.
Does being a mum change the way you view your career?
Yeah, again I have a feeling of what will be will be. I’m not afraid, you feel less afraid when you’ve had a baby. I was quite fearless anyway I guess but I’ve got a sense of freedom now.
What’s it been like coming back and leaving your son Albert at home?
Fine, I thought I’d be horrendous but I think everything needs a balance, life, work, everything and now I’ve got that balance. And I’ve had such a luxurious time off, I’ve been so lucky to say I could have a year off from my job and they were so great about it, that coming back absolutely felt right. Timing wise, everything. And I miss him but I’m absolutely fine with it, because I see him at the end of the day and I can’t wait to hug the bones off him.
Has he been to set yet?
He’s been in a few times, not actually on set but he’s been into the make up room and all the girls just go crazy for him. Because he’s a cutie!
Do you find it quite relaxing to get away from the kids and be you at work?
Absolutely, of course. We were joking, some of us who were mums were saying if your call time’s 10 in the morning, a few mums have admitted to coming in at seven to run lines and learn lines away from the home. Because obviously when your baby is there and they want constant attention and you’re trying to learn lines it’s like juggling. It’s a complete juggling act, isn’t it? I’ve not done that yet by the way, come in early. I said to my boyfriend this morning, ‘I’ve been called in an hour earlier,’ and he said ‘Oh really, have you really though?’ Or are you just after time away from us two, the boys.
How do you feel about your new role at the Woolpack as well?
Amazing news. I got wind of that as a rumour and I thought ‘Oh my god, following in the footsteps of…’ And obviously Chas runs the bar and runs it so effortlessly that I was thinking how will that work? But actually the dynamic of the two of them behind the bar is just going to be fantastic. I love working with Lucy [Pargeter], she’s a hoot. She’s bonkers like me, so I think together it’ll be an interesting dynamic. Because she is quite sensible, Chas has had to be, she’s got the bar, she wants to run it well. She’s quite in control of doing things well and then Charity comes in and she knows that Charity is quite lazy and will happily read a magazine when she probably should be pulling pints. But she needs the money so she’s willing to give it a go. So that in itself already is sparks for a conflict because you’ve got very hardworking, and then you’ve got – Charity’s hardworking at doing illicit things but when it comes to being sensible, she’s a bit like ‘this is boring.’
Who do you think will be Charity’s next victim – male wise?
So she’s been working with Ross a lot. I mean he’s lovely and I love working with Mike. I kind of think that would be the obvious dynamic because Debbie’s away, he’s been in love with Debbie. That would be a very dangerous territory. But they have got a baby, it’s funny because it’s sort of love-hate with Ross and Charity because they really annoy each other and they’re tied by this child so they have to see each other. I’m not sure where they’ll take it. It could be great that they’re just mates in the end and they rob a car well together.
Are you coming back with a renewed vigour?
Yeah I feel like I’m coming back with a vengeance, I feel like I’m getting my mojo back now. It took me a while but I’m finding my feet again now. Again a new sense of purpose, finding out that she’s running the bar and she’s with Ross. I love the dynamic with Charity, Cain and Moira. I love that, it’s so funny because she’s always trying to wind Moira up and Moira just won’t stand for it.
Did you stay in touch with people while you were off for that year?
Yeah Charley Webb [Debbie] always, we’re on WhatsApp literally every five seconds. ‘What you doing?’ ‘Well what you doing?’ ‘Are you alright?’ ‘Yeah I’m fine, are you?’ And then we think, why don’t we just pick up the bloody phone, it’s ridiculous. Our WhatsApp, if you scroll back and you go: ‘Four hours of this? Just pick up the phone, be done in five minutes!’ But yeah I’ve got some firm friends here.
Even people that I would not necessarily see socially but it was so good to see again. So there was the aspect of meeting new people that I’d not really worked with before, and I think I’m going to be working with Louise [Marwood, Chrissie] soon a little bit, which will be fabulous because I’ve never worked with Louise who’s gorgeous and I can’t wait.
Would you have more children?
Yes I would! Because I think the point being, everybody has a different experience, every single woman who has a child cannot say it’s like this for everybody or it’s like that for everybody. You just can never determine what it’s going to be like. I’m 41 in two weeks so you can never take it for granted. I might not get pregnant. I think it’s the perfect age but you just never know, do you? It might be that I can’t get pregnant. So never say never.

Emmerdale schemer Charity Dingle will be triumphant this summer as she finally gets her claws back into her ex-lover Cain.
The show's producer Iain MacLeod has confirmed the shock news, which will naturally throw a huge spanner in the works for Cain's marriage to Moira.
Tense scenes due to air over the coming weeks will see Cain (Jeff Hordley) left furious when he discovers that Moira has been deceitful.
This leads to Cain finally giving into temptation with Charity (Emma Atkins), who has made no secret of her desire to reignite their passionate relationship in recent months.

Cain makes a discovery
© ITV
MacLeod revealed: "We've had Charity circling the Cain and Moira camp for some time, trying to split up 'Coira'. Well, we can reveal now that Charity will eventually get her man.
"In what form and how and when that happens, you'll have to wait and see. But finally, she's able to come in and deal what she thinks is the killer blow to that relationship - will it survive outside of that?"
It sounds like Emmerdale fans will be left guessing over Cain's future for quite some time, as we won't see him make the final decision between the two women in his life until later in the year.
MacLeod added: "Where will Cain's heart take him? Whether it will be with Charity or with Moira, that's all the business to come towards the back of the year. But for this summer, it's Charity getting her claws into Cain finally - all her dreams come true."

Emmerdale spoilers: Passion ahead for Charity Dingle and Frank Clayton?
It was only a matter of time before they properly crossed paths – Emmerdale minx Charity Dingle and smooth talking rogue Frank Clayton are about to join forces and it could be more than just business that they are both interested in.
The characters have already stirred each others’ interests and the flirting is only set to continue as they remain intrigued by each other. For now, Frank is with Megan Macey but there is no denying that he is being drawn in by Charity – and it’s clear that he knows how her mind works when he suspects foul play.
When Megan and Leyla Harding turn down the Woolpack as a potential party venue for one of their dos, there is sabotage afoot as their chosen venue is suddenly hit with problems.
As Megan is forced to come crawling to Charity, Frank is suspicious of Charity – but her slyness could only serve to make him even more interested.
Later, Frank and Charity team up with a plan and a glammed up Charity is soon up to her old tricks when she spots a man with a flash car and sets a scheme in motion to scam him.
But what is Charity’s agenda as she asks for Frank’s help – will there be pleasure on the cards along with their dubious business?

Emmerdale spoiler – Lesbian affair for Charity Dingle and Megan Macey?
Emmerdale’s Emma Atkins has confessed that her alter ego’s disastrous run of luck with men could see her return to women – with Megan Macey a potential love interest!
Charity Dingle famously had a fling with Zoe Tate and it seems her lust for women could resurface in the coming months. And Emma, who plays Charity, says she’s discussed the possibility of a Charity/Megan romance with her co-star Gaynor Faye.
She said: “She’s an open book. She’s quite fickle. So she would do it for her end game or whatever you’d say. We’ve been given some dialogue today where we [Emma and Gaynor] have said, ‘where is this going?’.
“I’m not afraid of it going in that direction. I do believe you can fall in love with a person no matter what their gender. It wouldn’t bother me. She should connect with anyone, male or female.”
Asked who she would like to see Charity with, she added: “It would be so good if it was someone un-Charity. I don’t know who it could be.
“I was thinking, no, it sounds so wrong…he’s 20 years younger. No I’m not saying!
“I’d like someone who she had a connection with but who the audience weren’t expecting. That would be interesting, instead of always going for the man with the money. Maybe someone who didn’t have anything but who she was drawn to. But who she hated herself for being drawn to.”
Emmerdale's Charity Dingle and Vanessa Woodfield get passionate in The Woolpack cellar in a very unexpected storyline twist next week.
The unlikely pair give into temptation when they get trapped together in the basement and both hit the bottle.
As they're far from best friends, Charity and Vanessa are both adamant that they need booze to get through the ordeal of spending time in each other's company.
After more than a few whiskeys, chemistry flares up between the pair and they share a kiss that turns passionate. Could it be the start of something, or is it yet another one of Charity's games?

Emma Atkins, who plays Charity, revealed: "Charity is riled over what's happened and she thinks the only way they will get through being trapped together is if they drink themselves into oblivion. She doesn't want to do it sober. They go: 'We don't like each other, but cheers!'
"It starts to unravel and goes in different directions. Suddenly there is a moment that Charity kind of jumps on and seizes, as she is a complete opportunist.
"There's been no attraction whatsoever between them up until this point. In a way, that is interesting for the audience, as sometimes things do happen out of the blue.
"Charity would certainly not turn away a situation that might be beneficial to her. It will certainly wind Frank up when he finds out, so that is a moment of: 'Oh, wait a second...'
"Charity's cogs are always whirring. They are always ticking away in the background."

Revealing more on what Charity is up to, Emma laughed: "She just thinks she can! She has not really got anyone at the moment, so she is free to toy with whoever she wants. She is that way inclined.
"Charity probably does fancy Vanessa and wants to explore that. She knows Vanessa is unsure of her own sexuality, so she is enjoying the flirtatiousness and vulnerability on Vanessa's part. It's a bit like cat and mouse.
"I think Charity is searching for something that maybe doesn't even exist. When you are feeling a sense of loss, it probably makes you very miserable. Maybe she's looking to fill that hole in her life."

While the moment in the cellar is just a kiss, it's already been confirmed that Charity and Vanessa will sleep together as the storyline continues.
Michelle Hardwick, who plays Vanessa, added: "When they wake up in the cellar with hangovers, they're left to wonder what they've done. They are still locked in the cellar, and then there is the walk of shame. Vanessa then tells Paddy later in the day and confides in him.
"Vanessa is worried about everyone knowing because of her dad. Charity is the person who split Frank and Megan up, and he has always said to Vanessa that Charity is poisonous. Now Vanessa has had a little bit of a drunken kiss with her, at that point!
"Vanessa goes back to Charity to talk it out. But then she gets reeled in again by Charity – and this time it's more than a kiss..."

a son showing up from mommy charity a result of teenage rape
Emmerdale looks set to rock Charity Dingle's world in the New Year with a heartbreaking development.
Long-time fans will remember Charity (Emma Atkins) was reunited with her long-lost daughter Debbie (Charley Webb), who learned the truth about her parentage after being raised by Paddy and Emily Kirk.
However, Debbie isn't the only long-lost child from Charity's past. In her teenage years, Charity also gave up a son for adoption when she became pregnant after being the victim of sexual assault.
According to The Sun, Charity will be unknowingly reunited with the son she once gave up when he turns up in the village.
The situation is bound to bring heartbreak for Charity, as she's once again confronted with the residual trauma from both the sexual assault and the pregnancy that resulted from it.

Representatives for the ITV soap have yet to confirm that this storyline will be kicking off in 2018.
Charity has recently faced conflict with Debbie, when she discovered that her daughter's boyfriend Tom Waterhouse (Ned Porteous) had ulterior motives for getting close to the Dingle family.
Emma Atkins has been involved in hard-hitting storylines since she first debuted as Charity Dingle in 2000, having masterminded any number of schemes to get even with her in-laws and was once even framed for the murder of ex-husband Chris Tate (Peter Amory).

its got to be Tom Waterhouse this would explain why ... 1: he didn't want to do business with her when Charity and Debbie first meet Tom & Graham {Debbie kicked Charity out of the meeting} , 2: why he didn't want to meet Charity when Debbie asked him too in fear of her recognizing him and 3: why Tom got Graham to tell Charity at the hotel he was Tom Waterhouse
unless that Hugo bloke who robbed the pub back on 26th October episode after sleeping with Charity Dingle is her long lost son
or Hugo the goon who has had interaction with Debbie / Cain and Charity before back on 25th January 2017 episode {when Debbie returned to the village with Sarah & Jack from being in France}

sleeping with his half sister or is he debbie's twin, eastenders and hollyoaks have covered this
There was supposed to be a long lost son of Faith turning up, which would be more believable. If this is true they must have decided either that they wanted the character to be a Dingle or that Emma Atkins is better suited to playing the storyline than Sally Dexter.
Aside from this kind of storyline being overused in soaps these days (there was one in Coronation Street just last Christmas), this is just one step too far with a character that already has a child from her teenage years.

Emmerdale spoilers: Huge story for Charity Dingle as secret son who was the result of a childhood rape turns up?
Emmerdale is reportedly set to turn Charity Dingle’s life upside down with a shocking storyline that will see her long lost son show up in the village and maker her confront a rape ordeal from her teenage years.
Charity is mum to Debbie, Noah and Moses at the moment, the former of which she gave birth to young with Cain. But she has never mentioned the rumoured son before now, meaning that if the plot does come to fruition, it will bring a huge shock to not just Charity but her whole family.
It is being reported that Charity gave up her son after being raped as a teenager and has tried to forget ever since but he will track her down and force her to relive her trauma.
A source told The Sun: ‘Charity’s entire world will be rocked when her son is introduced in the New Year. Things have settled for her in terms of her personal life after three kids and as many husbands but this will change everything again.
‘She gave up her son, which she’s never revealed before, just days after he was born because he was conceived during a rape. It is going to open up a load of old heartbreak for her. It will be tough to watch for viewers and only someone as good as Emma could pull off the scenes.’
Emma Atkins has played Charity since 2000 and was recently involved in a storyline which saw her enjoy a night of passion with Vanessa Woodfield before publicly outing her. She has also voiced her suspicions over Debbie’s shady businessman boyfriend Tom Waterhouse, who is secretly plotting to build over the Dingles’ land to make a golf course.
Metro.co.uk approached Emmerdale for comment and they replied that they don’t comment on storyline speculation so fans will have to wait and see whether Charity really is set to get an unexpected visitor next year.
http://metro.co.uk/2017/12/11/emmerdale-spoilers-huge-story-charity-dingle-secret-son-result-childhood-rape-turns-7151537/
So in my opinion, somehow I don't think Tom Waterhouse is Charity's son. I could be wrong.
