View Full Version : Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter)
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) finds herself in a tricky situation in a fortnight's time when Carl King (Tom Lister) claims that he'll call off his wedding to Lexi (Sally Oliver) if Chas says she loves him. However, with her new lover Paddy (Dominic Brunt) and son Aaron (Danny Miller) to think about, she's faced with a tough decision between following her heart and her head. So just why has Chas sparked a relationship with Paddy? And has she even gotten over Carl? We gave Lucy Pargeter a call to find out more.
Why did Chas embark on a relationship with Paddy?
"I think it all started when he completely opened his heart to Chas and she heard things that she'd never heard before. She felt special, lovely and wanted. Even though she was with Carl for so long, he never really vocalised his adoration for her like Paddy. Also, Paddy's seemingly taken Aaron on board and is trying to help him. Aaron's the biggest thorn in Chas's side as she'll never be able to get back with Carl while her son's around because Aaron gave her the ultimatum - him or Carl. She's really come to a time in her life now where she thinks she should settle and she needs a male role model in her life for Aaron. Paddy's great with him, too. I think Chas loves Paddy as a friend mostly, but she could probably learn to love him as a partner."
Do you think she really loves him?
"I don't think she could love anybody the way she loved - or still loves - Carl, really."
Did she ever move on after her relationship with Carl?
"No, she never moved on because there was never closure. He never told her the reason why they split. It was a very sudden separation, and to this day she's never discovered the real reason. So living in such close proximity to him and never knowing the reason behind it all is something that she's struggled with. I don't know what Chas would do if she found out that Carl killed his father Tom to be with her!"
Will that continue to bubble under for a while, then?
"Yeah. It was supposed to come out during the wedding episode, but it was inappropriate, so we changed it. The moment would have been thrown away really if it'd have come out around the wedding. It's such a big moment and we've shelved it for some time in the future."
Despite telling Paddy otherwise, do you think Chas is jealous?
"Definitely, and Paddy knows there's something wrong, bless him. She tries to tell him that she's with him and nothing can possibly happen between her and Carl anymore, even though she's desperate for it to happen. Despite the jealousy, she's determined to give it a go with Paddy. She tries to make him feel secure, but in the situation her insecurities shine through and Paddy cottons onto it."
Chas has a run in with Lexi the night before the wedding, doesn't she?
"Yeah, outside the Woolpack. Surprisingly, Chas lets Lexi rant, rave and pull her hair and get the upper hand. Chas could quite easily crush all Lexi's dreams by revealing that she and Carl had a relationship behind her back, compounded with the knowledge that Chas knows Carl doesn't really want to be with Lexi. But Chas is the bigger person, she's better than that. She doesn't want to throw a spanner completely in the works. She just thinks that if it's meant to be, it's meant to be, while at the same time she'll happily let Lexi make her own mistakes."
Does Chas intend to go to the wedding?
"She has every intention of going - God knows what she was thinking! She'd have sat at the back wearing a black veil, sobbing her heart out! She wants to go to prove a point to everyone in the village and be there for Carl, really. Carl calls Chas before the wedding, though, asking to speak with her. It's quite a mad thing to do on his part and an awkward position to put Chas in. She's been trying to come to terms with her relationship ending and then he calls on his wedding day when she's desperately trying to move on…She agrees to meet him, though, and Carl reveals that he can't marry Lexi because he still loves her. Chas is completely screwed up by the revelation. She's desperate to get things back on track with Carl, but she's got Aaron to contend with. So Carl pours his heart out and she has to be as strong as she can."
Emmerdale's feisty Chastity Dingle - played by Lucy Pargeter - recently embarked on an unlikely relationship with village vet Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt). However, it could all end sooner than she thinks when Carl professes his love to her on his wedding day! Torn between what her head's saying and what he heart's screaming, she's left with an impossible decision to make.
To read more about Chas's involvement in wedding week, click your clicking device here to read my recent interview with Lucy P. Here, though, are a few additional snippets from my time with her. Below, Lucy chats about Chas's friendship with Lexi, her screen son Aaron and the much-anticipated return of Jeff Hordley as Cain.
Chas and Lexi used to be friends. Are you disappointed that the writers have turned you into arch-nemises?
"They started of great - they were good mates and could have been good allies. But Lexi kept crapping on Chas, and Chas isn't the kind of gal to take that once from anybody, but the writers kept on doing it. I think they were trying to establish Lexi as a strong character and for some reason she kept getting the upper hand on Chas. It was really annoying for both of us because we couldn't understand why it kept happening and subsequently why they kept making friends. Then they made us enemies, but never made anything from it. We never really had anything to do with each other since the food fight. It's a shame because I think they'd have been great enemies."
Are you disappointed that Chas has never tied the knot?
"Nah, I'm not bothered really! I think she'd be too boring if she was married off. The episodes would be fun, though. Chas's wedding outfit would hardly be the normal, ivory dress. So yeah, the outfit and day would be fun, but it'd be a hell of a lot of filming!"
Are you pleased that you have your screen son with you now?
"Yeah. Aaron's an absolute pain in the **** for Chas, but it's brought a great softer side to her. Danny Miller, who plays him, is brilliant. He gives so much and he's only young. I do miss the violent, psychopathic Chas - I think that's gone by the way side now - but it's really nice to have brought a third dimension to the character."
You must be pleased that your screen brother Cain's returning?
"Oh God, I'm so excited. Cain and Chas were brought up as brother and sister - they found out later that they were half brother and sister - and during the years before he left, we literally did five or six scenes together one-on-one. I really hope that they get us together and give us a storyline which highlights the strength between them. He's just amazing and everyone's so excited that he's coming back. I think Aaron gets involved with Cain, so it'll be interesting to see how Chas deals with that."
Has she had some work done cosmetically?

What apart from her boobs and then she wants them done again. I think she may of had her lips done and maybe some botox
Chas Dingle created quite a stir when she arrived in Emmerdale back in 2002 dressed as a 'stripping nun'. Nice to see that nine years later, nothing has changed! Chas is still keeping the village gossips in business and they've plenty to talk about as she's just become the co-owner of the Woolpack and got herself a new man.
I caught up with Lucy Pargeter, the lovely lady responsible for bringing to Chas to life, to find out what we can expect from Chas next!
Chas is about to start a new relationship with Nikhil Sharma, who isn't her usual type. What does she see in him?
"He's a bit of male company that she's been lacking since the end of her relationship with Carl. She doesn't see it as anything long-term or involving commitment. He's a bit of fun and a good looking lad, nice arm candy but that's about it as far as she's concerned."
How does Chas' ex Carl react to the new couple?
"She tries to wind Carl up by kissing Nikhil publicly in front of him, but he doesn't show any outward signs of jealousy. She wants to show Carl that she's trying to move on with her life even though on the inside, she's definitely not over him!"
How did you feel when you found out Chas was going to become the new landlady of the Woolpack?
"I was over the moon. Being the landlady of such an iconic pub is both an honour and a challenge. Working with Liz Estensen (Diane Sugden) you can be guaranteed of many a laugh while working. It's interesting to work in the pub because it's at the centre of the village and the heart of a lot of the storylines so you get to work with lots of different people. There's never a dull day!"
What does this new found status of landlady mean for Chas going forward?
"It gives her a new focus and direction in her life plus status in the village which is important to her. Also it's a kick in the teeth for Carl."
Chas' relationship with her son Aaron has improved over the past year; will we get to see more of them as things get more difficult for him in the future?
"Their relationship at the moment is still quite strained but we are going to see much more of that in the coming months. Danny Miller (Aaron Livesy) is an amazing lad to work with, being able to watch him grow on both a personal and professional level is very special."
What's been your favourite Chas moment?
"Dunking Chloe in the water trough was a good one. Any chance to see Chas go back to her violent past is always a bonus."
What's your favourite Emmerdale moment?
"There's been too many to mention – I'm really proud of the show and how hard everyone works."
Who would you like to work with more on the show?
"Pauline Quirke."
If you could choose any actor to come in to Emmerdale as Chas' new man, who would it be?
"Tom Hardy."
Where do you see Chas in five years time?
"She'll still be behind the bar with her life in turmoil."
If you could play any other character in Emmerdale, past or present, who would it be?
"Why would I want to be anyone else but Chas?!"
You've been in a girlband and took part in Soapstar Superstar. Did you want to be a singer more than an actress?
"No. Singing and acting were always on a par with each other. I was lucky enough to be presented with opportunities in both but now my heart is definitely in love with acting."
What would be your ultimate dream role?
"Just to be constantly in work."
If you weren't an actress, what would you be doing?
"Working in interior design."
What's the best thing about your job?
"The people. It's always a joy to come to work every day and have a lot of laughs."
What's the worst?
"The early starts, late finishes and not seeing my daughter Lola enough."
What TV programmes do you enjoy watching? And which do you hate?
"I like any fly on the wall documentaries such as The Only Way is Essex and Come Dine with Me. I also love Grand Designs. I hate watching any sport."
Five things we LOVE about Chas
1) She wears her heart on her sleeve! And never more so when she stood in her wedding dress on Christmas Day 2010, debating whether to marry her cheating lover Carl King. In a simple dress and stripped of her make up, she looked stunning. She dumped Carl at the alter, giving him her best right hook to remember her by, but devastated at his betrayal.
2) She tells it like it is! Her mouth tends to engage before her brain sometimes but you always know where you stand with Chas. And if you are in need of a witty put down or someone to give out a tongue lashing, she's your girl. (Although she may have met her match in Alicia Gallagher...)
3) She packs a punch! Sometimes words just won't do and for those times, there's Chas' killer slap. You don't want to be on the receiving end. Her victims are too numerous to mention but they still have the marks and dented pride to prove that you don't mess with Chas.
4) She's fiercely loyal If you need someone in your corner, you won't find better than Chas. She protects those she loves with all she's got. Family and friends are everything to Chas and woe betide anyone who starts on them.
5) She's a softie underneath She may seem tough but underneath it all, Chas just wants to be loved and cared for. Look at her face when she gets a smile or even a hug from Aaron or when she was all loved up with Carl. That's when you see the real Chas Dingle.
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has hinted that Chas Dingle's love life could come back to the forefront of the soap this year.
The actress's feisty character has concentrated on her new responsibilities at The Woolpack and concern for son Aaron (Danny Miller) in recent months following her ill-fated relationship with Carl King (Tom Lister).
However, in an interview with itv.com, Pargeter promised that there will be new stories involving Chas's personal life in 2012.
Pargeter commented: "Chas and men - where do you start, really? She hasn't been very successful. She's had a fair range, really. She's gone from copper, to businessman - a bit of everything.
"Her ideal man is just somebody who can keep up with her, someone with a bit of a feisty side. I think she's probably found him - but she's definitely not still with him."
She continued: "I wouldn't say Chas is unlucky in love, really - she's misunderstood. She's a hard one. I mean, who could go out with Chas and be able to deal with her? You don't know if she's going to slap you or kiss you. Fingers crossed she'll find someone soon.
"There's going to be quite a few things possibly man-stroke-men [related] coming up this year. It should be a lot of fun. And more turmoil!"
Emmerdale fans have seen a spark develop between Chas and John Barton in recent weeks. However, any romance for the pair would be short-lived as James Thornton - who played John - has filmed his final scenes for the soap.

I would have said that Declan would have been most suited to Chas out of all the men but he is with Katie, unless they plan for her to do the dirty on Katie they must be brining in a new character.

I would like to have seen Chas have a chance of a relationship with Papa Barton shame he is leaving soon
Declan wouldnt suit Chas and he surely dont suit Katie imo
I was thinking maybe Cameron might cheat on Debbie with Charity or Chas, he looks far too old for Debbie
I always like Chas with Carl but they have turned Carl into a right pr*ck and I think he gets with Declan's sister
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has revealed that she is eager for a Chas and Carl reunion storyline.
Chas split from Carl (Tom Lister) in 2010 after discovering that he had been unfaithful, but not before tricking him into a wedding and dumping him at the altar.
Pargeter, who first appeared as Chas in 2002, has now told the Daily Record that she believes there is still mileage in the pairing.
"I hope Chas and Carl get back together. There's a lot of unfinished business there," she commented.
The actress also joked that Emmerdale bosses need to bring in some handsome newcomers for Chas to flirt with.
"There's not much to choose from in the village that's available, single, still walking or has his own teeth," she remarked. "It would be nice if they just brought in anything.
"Personally I'd like the actor Tom Hardy, who was in Bronson and Warrior. That would be very nice. He'd make a good farmer."
Emmerdale fans have recently seen Chas enjoy the company of John Barton (James Thornton), who bows out from the soap next month.
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has hinted that the Dingles will have a role to play in the soap's 40th anniversary episodes.
The actress told Inside Soap that she is looking forward to finding out what is in store for her character Chas Dingle in a big year for the show.
Emmerdale celebrates its 40th birthday in October, and show producer Stuart Blackburn has said that "big" plans are being made for the occasion.
Pargeter commented: "Some actors chat to Stuart about their storylines. But I'd just rather read what's coming up in the scripts.
"I've no idea what's in store, but the 40th anniversary is soon and there have been rumours that the Dingles will feature."
Emmerdale turns 40 on October 16.
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has admitted that she fears viewers will turn against her character Chas Dingle as she embarks on an affair.
Chas is about to begin a secret relationship with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power), who is the partner of her niece Debbie (Charley Webb).
Pargeter, discussing her Emmerdale future, told The Mirror: "I always worry, no matter what Chas is doing. Our job is so precarious, and you don't know when you might fall out of favour and it's all change.
"Don't get me wrong, it's been a great year. Now Chas has The Woolpack, it feels like I'm part of the furniture. But still, you don't know what's round the corner. I'm just one of these people who's always been a bit of a worrier.
"I am a bit nervous about what people are going to say about Chas and Cameron too. Chas has never really been bad before, people have always liked her and the comments I get are usually 'go on love', but that all could change with this storyline.
"I'm hoping the fans won't be too hard on her and get too cross. Who knows? I might start getting bashed up in the street, attacked by little old ladies and their handbags!"
Pargeter also confirmed that Chas and Cameron's affair plotline is likely to run for some time.
"It's Emmerdale's 40th anniversary, so there are going to be some amazing storylines," she explained. "Maybe we'll be part of that.
"The chemistry between the two characters is so intense it will keep drawing them back together. It is certainly not going to be a flash in the pan between them."
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1.
Chas should get with Carl
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has predicted that her character Chas Dingle will become an "outsider" if her affair is exposed.
Chas is currently playing a dangerous game as she wrestles with her feelings for Cameron Murray (Dominic Power), who is the partner of her niece Debbie. The pair will embark on a full-blown relationship in secret in the coming days.
Pargeter told Inside Soap: "I'm not looking forward to when the Dingles find out and make Chas an outsider. I don't want her to be estranged from them - they are her family, after all.
"Also, I'm terrified of what Debbie will do when she discovers what's going on. Chas is strong, but that'd be a fight and a half. Charley Webb, who plays Debbie, is formidable - so I'm not looking forward to scrapping with her! I'm scared of Charity, too - who'd want to mess with her?
"We'll just have to laugh our way through those scenes if and when we come to do them."
The actress confirmed that the storyline will form part of the build-up to Emmerdale's 40th anniversary celebrations in October.
She added: "There are plenty of twists and turns. Other people might be getting involved with it too."

If it is exposed of course it will be exposed
Think Chas could become pregnant by Cameron
she will never be a complete outsider to the Dingles.....she owns the Pub!!!
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has confessed she is "terrified" of the fight Chas will have on her hands when Debbie finds out she has stolen her man.
Maneater Chastity Dingle is about to embark on her latest affair with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) her niece Debbie's boyfriend, and Lucy told Inside Soap magazine she is dreading getting on the wrong side of the Dingle clan.
She confessed: "I'm not looking forward to when the Dingles find out and make Chas an outsider.
"I don't want her to be estranged from them - they are her family, after all.
"Also I'm terrified of what Debbie (Charley Webb) will do when she discovers what's going on. Chas is strong but that'd be a fight and a half."
She added: "Charley is formidable, so I'm not looking forward to scrapping with her!"
The actress revealed she is also scared of Debbie's mum Charity Dingle, played by Emma Atkins.
Lucy said: "Who'd want to mess with her?
"We'll just have to laugh our way through those scenes if and when we come to do them.
"Could I beat those two? Chas could!"
Isn't Debbie to have a miscarriage in the spring ,if so, wonder if this is the cause ?

ooo that would be cruel? where would that leave Sarah and her treatment...
Not knowledgeable about these matters but I think you said at the time Sarah ,it would be impossible for the baby to survive. Maybe the original post about the miscarriage was incorrect but Debbies child Sarah is supposed to eventually recover from her illness. One hec of a storyline if true.

I think if the baby had Fanconi Anaemia also, it would struggle to survive, or at least be born unaffected in some way
Sarah cannot recover from her illness, a bone marrow swap is the only thing that will remove the disease?
I did read that originally they were going to have Sarah die, but changed their minds...?
Many thanks Sarah, that answers the miscarriage question on both counts

mmerdale's Lucy Pargeter has revealed that Cameron's affair with Chas will come to a head in the autumn.
Chas Dingle will continue her romance with Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) in secret from his pregnant partner Debbie (Charley Webb) over the next few months.
The 35-year-old actress told This Morning: "Things haven't worked out so it's been sad.
"There's a slight complication with Debbie as he's [Chas]'s niece, so there is a bit of a thorn in the side.
"But it's carrying on and we've got a massive 40th this year - so I'm sure the build-up to that is going to be less than happy and a bit complicated."
Emmerdale will mark its 40th anniversary in October.
EMMERDALE’S Dominic Power has revealed he might take up self-defence classes – to protect himself from angry fans.
His character, Cameron Murray, has been seeking comfort with Chastity Dingle while dating Debbie Dingle.
Dominic says: “It’s flattering that people say hello to me in the street but I’m not looking forward to the potential of being hit by handbags if Cameron becomes unpopular because of the affair. I might have to have some self-defence classes.”
CORRIE star Nicholas Asbury has told of fan fury after his vet character put down Chesney’s dog Schmeichel. He said: “I got jeers and shouts in the street. A lot of people take Corrie as gospel.”

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has insisted that her character Chas Dingle can see a "happy future" with Dan Spencer.
Chas shocks the village's residents next week by deciding to marry Dan (Liam Fox). Viewers will know that she is on the rebound following her recent split from secret lover Cameron Murray.
However, Pargeter told All About Soap that Chas can genuinely see good qualities in Dan.
She explained: "They've been flirting across the bar for a few weeks, but now something is changing. Chas sees everything in Dan that she saw in Paddy - security and a complete selfless devotion.
"He'd never dream of cheating on her, or treat her the way Carl and Cameron did. Chas is starting to wonder whether she could settle down with Dan full time."
Speaking of how Dan proposes to Chas at The Woolpack next week, she continued: "It's all a bit awkward to be honest, especially as Cameron sees the whole thing. However, Chas is over the moon. She can see a happy future with Dan, even if she is marrying him because he's a safe bet."
Emmerdale bosses have previously teased that Chas's love life will take centre stage in the soap's 40th anniversary episodes. Her engagement to Dan now adds a new complication to the mix.
Pargeter commented: "Never mind twists and turns - this time there are going to be falls, climbs and loads of other obstacles. Where is all this going to end? We'll have to wait and see.
"Everything is going to come to a head in Emmerdale's big 40th birthday celebration in October, so I'd say stay tuned."
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has admitted that she does not want her character Chas Dingle to lose her place at The Woolpack.
Chas has been joint landlady at the village's pub for well over a year, but her future there is thrown into jeopardy in upcoming episodes.
Next week, Chas takes the blame for a failed robbery attempt at The Woolpack. She has arranged the raid with ex-lover Cameron Murray as Carl King is blackmailing them, but she protects Cameron by taking full responsibility when the truth looks likely to come out.
A furious Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) agrees not to report Chas to the police, but makes it clear that she wants her out as there is no way they can carry on working together after this.
Pargeter, discussing the storyline, commented: "I absolutely love Chas being at The Woolpack. There's definitely a few moments coming up where it looks like she might lose it, but I hope that doesn't happen as I love it there. I get to see everyone on a daily basis because I'm always filming there."
She added: "You hear all the gossip when you're working at The Woolpack, that's all I'm worried about!"
Viewers will see that Diane is devastated over Chas's betrayal, feeling that she has treated her like a daughter in recent times. However, whether she will give Chas another chance remains to be seen.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV1.
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has revealed that her character Chas Dingle is heading for a big fall-out with fellow bride Katie Sugden.
Next week's episodes see Chas and Katie (Sammy Winward) decide to host a double wedding reception, as their respective nuptials with Dan Spencer and Declan Macey are both taking place on the same day.
However, Pargeter told STV that the arrangement will lead to tension as the soap's 40th anniversary week begins.
Pargeter commented: "The wedding is very much the rich versus the poor - of course Katie and Declan are getting married as well, lord and lady of the manor with all the money, versus the poor people. And I'm even poorer because I'm being blackmailed by Carl and having to find the money for that.
"So the budget for our day is getting smaller and smaller, but it's about [Chas and Dan], it's about their day and it's about them declaring their kind-of love for each other."
She continued: "Chas has a big fall-out with Katie just before the ceremony, so not all is cool in the church!"
Meanwhile, most of Chas's loved ones are currently unaware of her recent affair with Cameron Murray, the partner of her niece Debbie.
Asked whether Chas would reunite with Cameron if he dumped Debbie, Pargeter replied: "Who knows? It's a soap. I don't know if they're meant to be together, I don't know if they would be together. I think she's truly supposed to be with Carl, but I'm not the writers!"
Emmerdale launches its big birthday week on Monday, October 15.
Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter has admitted that she doesn't want her character Chas Dingle to be happy.
The actress said that happiness ends up being a curse for soap residents.
"You get the fear that so much has happened to you in the past couple of years, how much more can they give you," she confessed.
Chas is due to marry Dan Spencer (Liam Fox) during the soap's live 40th anniversary episode later this month, but the landlady has been having an affair with her niece's boyfriend Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) and is being blackmailed by her ex Carl King (Tom Lister).
"It's amazing that I'm so busy, but there must come a time when the audience and writers get bored," Pargeter said. "You just think the amazing journey is going to stop at some point because people just go, 'Woah! Chas overkill!'"
Meanwhile Fox said that he was surprised at how permanent his character has ended up being.
"I didn't have the foggiest idea [how long it'd last]," he revealed. "I came in for eight episodes last year and I was supposed to come back every now and again.
"And when I came back I heard rumours about the Chas/Dan thing and then it was happening, and I was like 'Oh, right'."
"You never have a clue, you're just on a rollercoaster. Half of me doesn't want to know what's happening in the future, just enjoy it. I'm reading current scripts and going 'Great'."
Emmerdale's 40th anniversary week begins on October 15.
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has admitted that she is "glad" her character Chas Dingle did not kill ex-fiancé Carl King.
Chas is currently awaiting trial for murdering Carl (Tom Lister) following a violent altercation between them in the soap's live episode, but viewers are aware that Cameron Murray was the culprit who delivered the fatal blow.
Speaking to Inside Soap's Yearbook 2013, Pargeter predicted that things will ultimately turn out well for Chas despite her current dire situation.
Asked whether she was disappointed not to be Carl's killer, Pargeter replied: "No, I'm glad. It means Chas won't be sent down for murder and I'll get to keep my job!
"But I also think it's a nice twist that Cameron's letting her take the blame for something he did, and there'll be big repercussions for a long while to come."
Chas had an affair with Cameron (Dominic Power) this year, despite the fact that he was in a serious relationship with her niece Debbie (Charley Webb).
On the reaction to the plot, Pargeter commented: "It's strange, because I haven't had an awful lot of negativity about the affair. A lot of people have sympathised with Chas, especially after what happened in the live episode. You can't control your heart, can you? The only negative thing people say to me is that I've had too many storylines recently!"
Confirming that she wants more busy times to come, Pargeter added: "I hate not working. I've had quite a bit of time off recently, and my fiancé Rudi is happy for me to go back because I tend to knock down walls in the house when I'm off! I can't sit still - I like being challenged."

I have a couple of questions about the live episode and the killing of Carl king. 1) What happened to Car's phone. 2) When will Chas remember she whacked Carl on the side of the head and not the back. & 3) After the live show and Debbie was at home and she found the pictures of Chas and Cameron. Who's phone was it and who sent the photos?
I think Carl had Chas's phone with the photos and he sent the pictures to Debbie as act of revenge
I have a couple of questions about the live episode and the killing of Carl king. 1) What happened to Car's phone. 2) When will Chas remember she whacked Carl on the side of the head and not the back. & 3) After the live show and Debbie was at home and she found the pictures of Chas and Cameron. Who's phone was it and who sent the photos?
Carl sent the photos to Debbie's phone after Chas whacked him
Cameron took Carl's phone after he whacked him
how did Carl get the photos? did he send them to his phone from Chas's??

Yes I remember he told Chas he sent them to his phone when she took back her phone so I assume he sent them to Debbie from his phone before Cameron killed him and took his phone
I hope Debbie finds Carl's phone soon

I thought that was what had happened but I need to confirm. These time-lines will all be used to prove that Chas is innocent of murder when the trial begins. How can a dead man send text's?
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle loses all hope for her future next week and vows to plead guilty to Carl King's murder.
Chas has always hoped to fight for her freedom, but upcoming episodes see the troubled landlady sack her solicitor and announce that she wants to pay for her crime.
When a guilty Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) struggles to change Chas's mind, Carl's brother Jimmy (Nick Miles) is the unlikely person who steps forward to talk some sense into her, but will his efforts work?
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - discusses the latest twists in her character's storyline.
How is Chas coping in prison?
"Chas is struggling - she really finds it hard to be cut off from everyone. It's very depressing and scary. She is also very worried about her future."
Next week, Chas's prison friend Tracey commits suicide after receiving a five-year sentence. How does Chas react to that?
"She is very shaken when Tracey kills herself, as Tracey had been so positive and had actually made Chas feel better about it all. She was fun and very bright and breezy. They had been talking about the best tactics for getting off with a lighter sentence - flashing a bit of thigh or a top lawyer.
"So Chas takes her death very hard - she is numb with shock and fears the worst for herself, as she could be facing a tougher sentence than Tracey as she is up for murder. It makes Chas very scared that someone like Tracey felt that was the only way out and she didn't even get a very long sentence."
How does Chas feel when Cameron pays a visit and tells her that Jimmy has decided to cover her legal fees?
"She is surprised at first, as Cameron says he has some money but when she pushes him to say how he got it, he admits it was Jimmy. She does wonder why when she's the one that killed his brother."
Is Chas willing to take the money?
"Not really, as by now she is fairly apathetic and doesn't really see that anything is going to help her case. Cameron is shocked by her defeatist attitude."
Why does she feel so hopeless?
"She just feels really negative about the whole thing after her friend's death, and then she sacks her solicitor. The solicitor had got frustrated that she was not helping the situation.
"It all happens when they have an unproductive meeting, where Chas is so despondent that the solicitor gets annoyed with her for being so negative. She thinks it's just a job to him and he doesn't really care what happens to her, so she sacks him."
Why does Chas then give up fighting and decide to plead guilty?
"I think Chas thinks being found guilty is the only outcome anyway - she can't see why anyone would believe otherwise. She has lost all hope at this stage.
"She actually has a line in the script where she says to Cameron that short of someone walking into the court and admitting they killed Carl, she is going down for a very long time.
"Cameron is shocked by Chas's opinion that it's not worth doing anything but plead guilty, so he tells Jimmy who takes it on as his mission to try and change her mind."
How does Jimmy's visit go?
"They talk about Carl and you'll see Jimmy's raw emotion concerning his brother and the conflicted feelings he has. Chas initially is quite light with Jimmy, but they both know the seriousness of what is about to happen.
"Jimmy does his best to put his case across and then leaves. That night, you'll see Chas in her cell just staring into space and you'll wonder if Jimmy's words might have made an impression on her. He told her to fight and not to let Carl's death get to her - she did what she had to do as Carl was attacking her."
Has Chas noticed that Cameron is behaving in a shifty way? How would she react if she knew that he was Carl's real killer?
"I think Chas is just so convinced that she dealt the fatal blow, it's not really been something she has picked up on. As for how she'd react if she knew the truth, I don't even want to go there, as it's a volcano of a secret that would be very destructive!
"Chas is actually really touched that despite everything Cameron has chosen to stay around. She's not aware of the conflict he is fighting to tell the truth."
What's it like filming the prison scenes, and do you miss being on set?
"It's really bleak as the set is very convincing and Chas is without make-up so it does feel different. But the set is in the next-door building, so I haven't been too far away!"
What kind of reaction have you had from viewers since Emmerdale's live episode?
"I have been staggered by the feedback we have had after the live. It was really exciting to be part of it. We had the best team in the world, and it really did feel like a team effort and a team achievement. It did feel very different returning to normal scenes afterwards as we had stood down on all our normal filming while we rehearsed."
So is Chas going to be behind bars for Christmas?
"I couldn't possibly say!"

After being released from prison for the murder of her ex Carl King, Chas is threatened by a mystery stalker.
Returning to the village as barmaid in The Woolpack, Chas is then targeted by an anonymous stalker who tries to make her leave Emmerdale.
Actress Pargeter told What's On TV: "It's creepy. She's already on edge because of everything that's happened and then somebody starts targeting her. If she knew who it was she's ballsy enough to stand up to them, but it's the not knowing.
"She starts getting these prank calls and she has no idea who they're from, so it does make her a bit uneasy and she starts to feel like maybe she should just sell up and go and it would be a lot easier for her family and she wouldn't have to deal with everybody, but then she starts to think, 'This is all I've got left really'."
Chas has made many enemies after her affair with niece Debbie's boyfriend Cameron Murray was exposed. She receives anonymous calls and has the feeling that she is being followed around her home.
The soap actress said: "There are stones thrown at the window and she goes outside and there's a photograph of her and Carl. She thinks it's Cain and then she thinks it's Debbie, and then she gets the same photograph posted to her with her eyes scratched out.
"There's a bottle thrown at her, that misses her, but she gets a cut on her face. It is a bit more than threatening behaviour."

oh the gremlins have got in
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle has another big crisis to deal with in the coming days as she is targeted by a mystery stalker.
Chas's ordeal begins with a sudden burst of silent phone calls, but the situation soon gets far worse and leaves her utterly terrified…
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals the full details of the storyline.
How does Chas feel now that she's a free woman again?
"It's mixed emotions, really. Chas is ecstatic to be in the clear, but she still thinks that she was responsible, so the guilt and the hurt haven't gone away. She's also scared to be back in the village because of the repercussions of everything that's happened.
"As she works in The Woolpack, she's at the focal point of the village and of course she's going to have to face everybody and go through all kinds of different emotions. She's got a lot of catching up to do!"
Chas also ends up alone as Cameron heads off to Jersey, doesn't he?
"Yeah, Chas wants to go with him, but she doesn't because of Bernice. There's an onslaught from Bernice and she says that Chas really ought to leave, as nobody wants her around. So Chas decides to stay around to protect and hold onto her territory!"
Does Chas not have any inkling that something isn't right with Cameron after his latest murder?
"Not really. Chas can see that Cameron is a bit upset, but he tells her that it's because his son is ill and he needs to get to Jersey. Having been through everything with Aaron, Chas encourages him to go. She can see that he's a bit uptight about something, but she has no idea what he's actually done!"
Bernice is quick to blame Chas for punters avoiding the pub and the takings being down. Does she have a point?
"Bernice does have a point, but it's after Christmas and I think most places go through a lull at that time anyway. But Chas does start to think that it's got something to do with her. Chas and Bernice are at each other's throats, and it's also likely to kick off whenever the Dingles are at the pub, so people are avoiding those situations."
Is Chas tempted when Bernice keeps encouraging her to sell her share of the pub?
"She is tempted because things get so bad, and she starts getting these prank calls too. Chas has no idea where they're from and she starts to feel uneasy. She feels that if she did sell up and go, it'd be a lot easier for her family and she wouldn't have to deal with everybody. But then she thinks otherwise because the pub is one of the only things she has left."
Can you tell us more about the stalking?
"It begins with the first prank call in The Woolpack. Chas is working and somebody calls, but there's nobody there. Then it happens again and Jimmy is there, and he suggests that she should try 1471, but it's a withheld number.
"Then Chas gets even more calls, and she also senses that people might be watching her, especially when she goes to Carl's grave with Jimmy. There are also stones thrown at her window, and at one point she goes outside and there's a photograph of her and Carl which has been left for her…"
Is Chas being paranoid or is someone really watching her?
"She's not paranoid! There is genuinely someone watching her."
Does Chas have any suspicions over who the stalker might be?
"She starts to think that it could be Bernice, because she wants the pub. Then she thinks it's Cain or Debbie. After that, she gets another photograph delivered at The Woolpack with her eyes scratched out. She also gets a call from someone playing Carl's answering machine message, which is very creepy.
"Chas is already on edge because of everything that's happened, and the thought that someone is targeting her makes it even worse. It's the not knowing which is the worst thing. It could be the Dingles, it could be someone else, it could be anybody and that's what's the most unnerving thing."
What happens when Chas accuses Cain of being the stalker?
"He denies it point blank, but he says, 'I'd like to know who it is, so I could congratulate them!' So it's not nice that he's supporting what's happening. Chas suggests to him that maybe it's Debbie, but he tells her it's not as she's too busy with Sarah."
How frightened is Chas over the stalker's antics?
"I think she's most frightened when there's a bottle thrown at her and it cuts her face. If they're willing to throw something at her, it's a bit more than just threatening behaviour!"
Chas eventually manages to catch out the stalker. How does she feel about his or her identity?
"It is a shock, but there is a reason behind it and she fully understands why they did it. When she finds out who it is, it's yet another thing for her to deal with…"
my guess is cameron is behind it to push chas further away from friends and family he will blame debbie and cain

Emmerdale teenagers Thomas King and Sean Spencer seem ready to cause more trouble for Chas Dingle in Wednesday's (January 30) episode of the soap.
Sean (Luke Roskell) is embarrassed for his father Dan when Chas firmly rejects his attempts to be friendly, and the schoolboy thinks it's about time his dad stopped acting like such a pushover.
Also witnessing this moment, a vengeful Thomas (Mark Flanagan) tells Sean that something has to be done about the situation - but how far will they go to settle their scores with Chas

Emmerdale pub landlady Chas Dingle faces a terrifying ordeal next week as her niece Debbie holds her at gunpoint and threatens to pull the trigger.
Chas is horrified as she finds herself at the mercy of a crazed Debbie (Charley Webb), who is still hell-bent on revenge after her aunt's affair with Cameron Murray.
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals how her character copes in the frightening situation.
Does Chas still feel guilty about her relationship with Cameron after all this time?
"Chas feels guilty about what happened because of the repercussions with Debbie, Sarah and the rest of the Dingle family. However, the guilt about being with Cameron has gone, because they're now quite a solid couple who are dealing with the issues in the village.
"Chas does feel a bit guilty about the fallout of everything. But so much time has passed, so Chas is now getting to the point where she thinks, 'Come on guys - enough is enough'."
This new twist for Chas and Debbie proves that it's far from over! Would Chas ever have imagined that Debbie would want to kill her?
"I think Chas feels that if Debbie was going to do anything, she would have done it by now. However, the situation does start upping a gear, and the threats from Debbie are happening again.
"But Chas is Chas - she thinks Debbie can give a good bit of verbal, but if she were to take her on physically, I'd put money on Chas! I certainly don't think Chas thinks Debbie would go so far as to kill her."
As next week's episodes begin, Debbie lures Chas into a false sense of security by being nice to her. Is Chas suspicious?
"Yeah, Chas is suspicious over the reasons behind Debbie's change in attitude. It was only the week before that Debbie was still causing trouble and giving her dirty looks in The Woolpack. She's also got a little lapdog now in Robbie.
"When Debbie says, 'Let's be friends and sort this out', Chas wonders what's going on, but she is willing to give it a go. Chas is very much on the back foot, though!"
What goes through Chas's mind when they're on their way to a Dingle family meal and Debbie suddenly produces a gun?
"Chas thinks that Debbie has completely lost the plot, basically! It's definitely taking a bit of a turn!
"At first, Chas thinks that Debbie isn't going to use the gun, because she's never been into firearms or gone down a dark route before. She thinks Debbie is just going to scare her, give her a good talking to and leave her in the middle of nowhere to think about what she's done."
As Debbie is holding her captive in an abandoned barn, does Chas's take on the situation change?
"Yes, eventually Chas does think that she's going to die, because Debbie is very, very close to pulling the trigger. Chas can see the look in Debbie's eye and she's completely devoid of any emotion, any family ties or any love for Chas at all. She seems very likely to pull the trigger."
It's Cain and Charity who realise what Debbie is up to and try to stop her. How do those two feel about Chas at the moment?
"Charity is still very much on Debbie's side. With Cain, he's mellowed and they're talking a little bit, but he'd still choose his daughter over his sister any day. They do both turn up and things go, in Chas's eyes, from bad to worse…"
What was your reaction to the story taking such a dramatic twist?
"I think it had to come to an end. This won't necessarily be the absolute end of it, but it had to come to a massive crescendo to really give it justice."
Do you think there's even a slight possibility that Chas and Debbie could get their friendship back?
"I don't know if they ever will get it back. Personally, I don't know if I ever could forgive someone fully for doing that to me. Hopefully things can lead to a bit more normality.
"I don't think they'll ever have the same aunty-niece relationship. However, the Dingles have always got some sort of bother between them, but they're family and that's what pulls them through.

Emmerdale's Chas Dingle has more tough times ahead in the next fortnight as she realises that Cameron Murray's behaviour is becoming increasingly strange.
Killer Cameron (Dominic Power) is secretly in turmoil as he knows that Alex Moss's body is in danger of being uncovered due to a planned development on the land where he is buried.
With no idea of what her partner is going through, Chas fears that Cameron might be having an affair - but he soon has another cover story up his sleeve…
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - teases the twists and turns ahead as her feisty character attempts to get to the bottom of things.
How is Chas feeling about Cameron at the moment?
"Chas is still completely in love with Cameron, but he starts to behave quite strangely out of the blue. He starts disappearing, doesn't come back when he says he will, he's short with her and he's just not his usual self. Chas does totally trust Cameron at this point in time, but she does think it's a bit strange that he's being so moody."
So Chas doesn't suspect that Cameron is having an affair at first?
"No, not initially! She doesn't think Cameron is having an affair until Gennie comes up with the idea that he might be!"
Chas starts following Cameron to get answers. What is she expecting to discover?
"Chas is quite worried about what she might discover. Cameron packs her off to a spa for the night with Gennie, and the last time he made sure someone was out of the area, it was when he sent Debbie off to Paris so that he could be with Chas for a little while.
"Just as Chas and Gennie are about to leave for the spa, they see Cameron heading off in his van. Chas thinks that's a bit weird, because he's supposed to be looking after the pub."

Chas and Gennie follow Cameron
Chas doesn't see anything suspicious, but a few days later, Cameron starts threatening to leave the village. How does Chas react?
"Chas's initial thought is that it's because she's starting to doubt him and pressure him. Cameron tells her that he knows she was following him. When Cameron threatens to leave, Chas thinks that she's pushed him too far. She has no idea that it's because of his worry over Alex."
Cameron then sits Chas down and warns that he's about to tell her something important - but then Gennie walks in and interrupts! Was Cameron about to confess all?
"I think Cameron is preparing himself to possibly tell Chas what's been going on. The appearance of Gennie completely scuppers that, and they end up having a bit of an argument. Cameron loses the plot again, so Chas ends up staying at Gennie's house.
"When Chas gets back in the morning, she questions Cameron and says that she knows he was going to tell her something big. However, Cameron completely clams up again and denies it."

Cameron is aggressive towards Chas and Gennie
Later, Cameron threatens Gennie for her interference in his relationship, but Gennie soon tells Chas about the encounter. Does Chas believe Gennie?
"Well, for Chas this all comes quite out of the blue. By this point, Cameron has come up with a cover story and told Chas that he has depression, so she just puts it down to that.
"Chas is surprised to hear that Cameron has depression, but I don't think she doubts him. She's just looking for anything but the bad explanation for Cameron's behaviour. Compared to him having an affair, depression is a lot easier for her to deal with."
The viewers are probably going to be shouting at the TV over Chas being in the dark!
"Jeepers, they already are! Chas is being very blinkered, bless her! She even approaches Zak and asks him to speak to Cameron, as he's had depression recently too. Chas knows that she isn't naturally good at dealing with things like this, so she naturally calls Zak in so he can have a man-to-man chat with Cameron."

Cameron shows Gennie a menacing side
As the week continues, Cameron apologises to Gennie for threatening her, and even vows to make amends by organising a fundraiser in aid of Brenda's hospital. Does Chas think this is a bit strange?
"Well, Chas has had so much going through her mind - first of all the thought that Cameron could be having an affair, and then Gennie saying that he's threatened her.
"When Cameron comes up with the fundraising idea, the blinkers come back on for Chas and she's pleased that Cameron is being nice. She just wants to believe him as much as possible, rather than having to face the fact he's doing something behind her back."
The truth about the murders has to come out at some point, so how would Chas cope with that?
"It's mammoth - Cameron is a killer, he's been deceptive and he's let her take the blame for what happened to Carl. It's massive and I don't know how she's going to deal with it. Let's just see what the writers come up with!"
Do you think there's a danger of Cameron killing Chas?
"Yeah, I think there's definitely the possibility there of Cameron killing Chas. He's capable of killing anyone!"
Have you had much viewer response to this storyline?
"It's been fantastic. People are shouting at their tellies and they're shouting at me, telling me not to trust Cameron! It seems that they're all on Chas's side at the moment."
Lucy Pargeter has teased that producers are planning a huge storyline that will air around the show's anniversary in October.
Pargeter, who plays Chas Dingle, revealed that it will be as big as last year's live episode which earned them a prize at the British Soap Awards over the weekend.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: "There's going to be more complications, more heartache, more trauma – it's a brilliant summer coming up.
"And I know there's something massive coming around our anniversary time in October as well. We have to follow up with last year with something as big this year."
Viewers will know that Pargeter's character Chas is currently unaware that she's dating a murderer.
Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) has already claimed two victims and he is rumoured to kill a third later on this year.

So Cameron's storyline will run until nearly Christmas this year, damn
Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has spoken to Digital Spy about the heartbreak ahead for her character Chas Dingle.
Chas is in for a nasty shock in upcoming episodes as her fiancé Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) has decided that he wants to be with his ex-partner Debbie (Charley Webb) rather than her.
Cameron and Debbie will both be distracted by the aftermath of Gennie's death in the immediate future, but it's only a matter of time before Chas discovers that they are back together.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Pargeter explained: "She's going to be gutted, absolutely gutted, but you know what? It's tit for tat. It's even stevens. She did it to Debbie, what leg has she got to stand on?"
Hinting that Chas may have to back down, she added: "How far can she take it without going, 'Enough is enough - fine, you have him'?"
The actress told us that she knows the ultimate outcome of the storyline, which is expected to run until at least October.
Our video above also features Pargeter's thoughts on the departure of co-star Sian Reese-Williams and whether she would ever move on from Emmerdale herself.

Sorry can't post
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle faces fresh heartbreak next week as she discovers that her fiancé Cameron Murray has been sleeping with his ex Debbie.
Chas learns the truth at the funeral of her half-sister Gennie, and is later stunned as Cameron (Dominic Power) declares that he never really loved her.
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals how her character will react to the shocking news.
How is Chas feeling in the wake of Gennie's death? Does she have any suspicions over Cameron yet?
"Chas is absolutely devastated by what's happened. She also feels quite guilty because of the argument she had with Gennie before her death.
"Chas is now so consumed with her grief for Gennie that she still doesn't think anything untoward is going on with Cameron. He's acting weird, but Chas thinks it's just because he still has depression. There's absolutely nothing for Chas to be suspicious about, given the information that she's got at the moment."
Next week is when Chas does start to become suspicious. What starts that off?
"Well, first of all Brenda goes missing on the morning of Gennie's funeral and Chas decides to go looking for her. Cameron is determined to stay there in the pub, which Chas thinks is a bit weird. Once they find Brenda and they're walking back up to The Woolpack, Chas thinks that she sees Cameron at Debbie's house, which is bizarre, because why would he be there?
"When Chas later asks Cameron about this, he blatantly brushes over it and says that he was in the pub cellar. Gennie's words of warning about Cameron start to ring in Chas's ears. It's very quick, but all of a sudden, Chas knows the truth!"
Chas confronts Cameron in the middle of Gennie's funeral, doesn't she?
"Yes, she does. She quietly asks Cameron whether he really loves her and he says yes. However, then Chas says, 'Do you say that to Debbie? And would that be before or after you've slept with her?' He then admits that it's been going on for a few weeks, so Chas is absolutely fuming and devastated."
Given that she's in the middle of attending a funeral, how does Chas react?
"Chas does have to give a eulogy for Gennie, so she wants to do that and then deal with Cameron later. She stands up and starts to talk about Gennie, but then the speech moves on, and it looks like she's about to expose both Cameron and Debbie.
"However, Chas does then remember why she is there. She sees confusion on Nikhil and Brenda's faces, so she pulls herself together and finishes off the eulogy. Afterwards, she runs out of the church because she can't keep her mouth shut."
Is this the end for Chas and Cameron?
"Yes, I think it is. It's a strange one, as it's payback for Chas. She did it to Debbie, and now Debbie has done it to her. Chas thought she was going to be happily married with Cameron, so it is the ultimate betrayal. At the same time, she's not surprised that he did it to her, as he did it to Debbie and he also did it to his wife before that."
Does Chas want to get revenge against Cameron?
"Chas is absolutely furious with him and she does lash out at him. She shouts and screams at both Cameron and Debbie. But afterwards, she tells Debbie that she doesn't want to fight with her anymore or hurt her, as it's tit for tat. Chas doesn't want Debbie to be part of her life, but she's got more to deal with at the moment."
How does Cain find out?
"Cain gathers at the funeral that something must be going on, and then he asks Chas at the pub what Cameron has done. Chas replies, 'He's done Debbie!', so that's how Cain finds out!"
Cain later takes Cameron to a quarry and prepares to kill him… Would Chas like to see Cameron dead?
"I think Chas couldn't care less what happens to Cameron, but she is worried about Cain getting into trouble for killing him. Chas has told Cain that it'd be better if Cameron wasn't around anymore, so she's kind of given him the go-ahead to do it. She's gobsmacked that Cain has taken her to her word!
"Chas is worried for both Cain and Cameron. If Cameron accidentally tripped over a cliff, Chas would deal with it, but she would be worried if Cain was involved."
Where does Chas go from here?
"Chas has still got the pub, so she needs to focus on that. She's also back with her family now. She makes up with Charity and she's also got Cain back - it's just that she's lost Cameron and Debbie. She's strong, though. Over the past couple of years, she's had enough thrown at her to brush herself off and get on with it."
Do you think Chas regrets not staying with someone safe like Paddy or Dan?
"In her heart of hearts, Chas knows that she should be with someone like Paddy or Dan, but she also knows that will never light her fire, keep her going and keep her excited. She likes bad boys!"
How would Chas feel if she knew about Cameron's murders?
"It would just mean that the last year of Chas's life has been a complete lie. I don't know whether she'd be angry or completely traumatised. You just never know with Chas. She's usually either devastated or angry.
"It'd be massive thing to come to terms with. Chas never will get over the Carl thing, so maybe it'd be a weight off her mind to know that she wasn't responsible for killing him."
What does the future hold for Chas and Debbie?
"It's quits for them now, really. It's not going to be easy for Chas to see Debbie with Cameron, but Cameron just tells Chas that he never loved her and he just felt sorry for her. To hear that it was never real to begin with almost makes it easier for Chas to move on.
"I think people will be quite happy to see the story reach an eventual conclusion. We thought it'd be put to bed when Debbie held Chas at gunpoint, but obviously it's carried on. The viewers will be happy to see it put to bed."
What was Gennie's funeral like to film?
"I think it must have been the longest funeral in Emmerdale history! It was filmed during really hot weather, and we all had to wear black suits and black tights. But we had the most amazing director, Peter Rose, who never takes longer than he needs. Everyone is supportive on set and a funeral is always a good time for teamwork."
Are you missing Sian Reese-Williams, who plays Gennie?
"I'm missing her madness! I'd arrive to work every morning and wonder what the day would have in store with Sian! I'm not missing the mess in our dressing room as she was extremely messy, but I am missing her presence in the building.
"Sian was a massive personality with loads of energy and when someone like that goes, it leaves a massive hole. But I'm wishing her every bit of luck for the future."

when does chas get genie's things i mean the dictaphone?
I hope it is soon
Emmerdale airs another must-see moment next week as Chas and Debbie Dingle finally discover exactly what Cameron Murray is capable of.
Debbie (Charley Webb) is devastated when she gets her hands on Gennie Sharma's Dictaphone and hears a damning audio file which reveals that she was killed by Cameron.
When a distraught Debbie turns to Chas for help, they head straight to the police to report Cameron - but the dramas involving the serial killer aren't over yet…
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals her character's reaction to the shocking developments.
How would you say Chas has been coping since Gennie's death?
"It's been hard for her. Not only has she had that to deal with, she's now got the fact that Cameron is with Debbie. So she's been betrayed by Cameron, she's been betrayed by Debbie and she's lost her sister so it's been pretty horrendous for her, to be quite honest with you."
Does Chas miss Cameron?
"Yeah, I think she does, but there's also hatred of him and for him. It's kind of explained a lot of things for her, but it's also brought on sadness because Gennie knew. Gennie knew everything and Chas has got massive regret for not making it up with her sister and believing her sister because she was right about him."
What are Chas's feelings towards Debbie at this point?
"Chas is very angry with Debbie and she is furious, but she's also kind of like, 'Tit for tat, I've done it to you, you've done it to me, I'm not going to come revengeful like you did by taking me hostage at gunpoint'. There's just no point and she's like, 'Okay, you're welcome to him'. But I think she's really, really hurt."
Next week, Debbie plays Gennie's Dictaphone recording which reveals that Cameron killed her, not the car crash. How does Chas react when Debbie comes over and says they need to talk?
"At first, Chas has got no idea about the Dictaphone - she's got no idea about anything. When Debbie says she needs to talk, Chas says, 'No, not now, haven't got time for you, couldn't give less of a care for you'. Then Debbie says, 'You couldn't care more about this thing ever', so she lets her in. Chas is quite prepared to just stand there, let Debbie say her piece and properly chuck her out again, but that's not what happens."
How does Chas feel when Debbie starts to show her this Dictaphone and what's on it?
"Chas's reaction is that it's not what Debbie says it is. Debbie is saying it's proof that Gennie was alive after the crash, but you don't automatically think, 'Yeah that's right, he killed her'. Chas looks for another explanation like Gennie was probably in pain, she was saying 'Don't move me, don't touch me, please don't hurt me any more than you have to'.
"It's not until Debbie brings up the fact that Cameron killed Carl that Chas starts to believe everything that Debbie's saying."
What is Chas's reaction when she realises that she didn't kill Carl? She's thought for nearly a year that she has.
"Yeah there is that, but then I think what takes over is that she doesn't know when Debbie found out. Chas thinks Debbie found out the night that he did it and she's been keeping it from her ever since. So she starts to think, 'How long have you known, Debbie? You let me go to prison'. She starts picking on Debbie and thinking that Debbie's known all along.
"Eventually she goes, 'Okay, I believe you, but how can you let me go through this? This is even more of a betrayal that you've kept it. You were protecting him and you knew he was a murderer. You know now he killed Gennie and you're still protecting him. We're going to have to do something about this. You've got no choice about it - we're going to the police'."
Unfortunately, the police say there's still not enough evidence against Cameron, so Debbie will need to have cameras in her house while she tries to get a confession. Does Chas think that's a good idea, given the danger involved?
"Yeah, Chas is all for it. If Debbie's in danger, then she's in danger. What she's kept from her and what Cameron's done is far more important. Debbie has betrayed her far too much, so basically Chas is prepared to let Debbie do whatever she has to do to get this out and to get a confession, because she's deleted the confession from the Dictaphone."
What are her feelings for Debbie at this point? Is she still angry with her or do they move on from that now?
"No, Chas is still furious with Debbie. They're not friends and I don't think they'll be friends for an awful long time. Debbie has kept something from her - a really important thing as Chas thought she'd killed Carl, and Debbie knew for however long that she hadn't done it and she could've put her out of her misery sooner."
Does Chas have any strong feelings on how Cameron should be dealt with?
"I think as Chas now knows he's a killer, she'd be more wary about how she dealt with it. The Carl thing is bad enough and to let her go to prison, but to kill her sister… if she had a gun in her hands she'd probably blow his brains out. She's determined to get in court and for him to see justice, really."
So Chas and Debbie aren't some sort of crack team together on this?
"No, Debbie has no choice. Chas is like, 'You're doing it. I don't care - you are doing it'. They're still rowing and there's no kind of camaraderie. So it would've been better if they were thick as thieves, but they're not!"
Are either of them scared of the consequences?
"I think Debbie is. I think she's scared about Jack and Sarah, and she's scared that it's come to this. She realises that she's actually going to lose him and she's going to have to try to frame him and get him to confess. So I think it's harder for Debbie because I think she thought she'd got a whole kind of family unit back and the love of her life, but no, Chas and Debbie are not going to see eye to eye over this."
Does Chas feel foolish for not realising what sort of man Cameron was?
"No, there's no kind of, 'Oh gosh, what a fool I've been'. I don't think anybody could see a serial killer if they were going out with them. All the clues were there, but you don't think that, do you?"
Does Chas want revenge on Cameron?
"I think revenge to her would be seeing him go down and to be punished. I think death or anything that she could do, or Cain could do, would be far too quick. She wants him to be seen as the person that he is by Brenda, by the village, by Debbie, by her family, by everybody and to get her name cleared as well."
Do you think there's any chance that Chas and Debbie can unite again, or is that a bit of a way off?
"A bit of a way off. I think the Gennie thing is going to stay around for a long time because even though she knew that Cameron was a murderer, she said she wanted to be with him and she had the choice to get in that car and to chase Gennie.
"Whether Cameron killed Gennie or not, Debbie was still in the car that chased her and kind of led to her death by having the crash as well. So I think there's an awful lot to forgive there. I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon."
Are you excited about what's in the pipeline?
"If I knew what the pipeline was then I'd be very excited, but we still don't know about the pipeline very much! But yes, what I hear in rumours I'm very excited about."

Emmerdale's Chas Dingle faces a terrifying situation in her own pub next week as killer Cameron Murray returns and causes chaos.
Startled to hear that Cameron (Dominic Power) is back in the village after escaping from a prison van, Chas tries to put The Woolpack on lockdown to be on the safe side.
Unfortunately, cunning Cameron stays one step ahead and makes his way into the building, armed with a gun. As Chas's worst fears are realised, will Cameron take revenge on her?
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals her character's involvement in a memorable week for Emmerdale.
When Cameron returns to the village, what does Chas think his plan is?
"Chas thinks that Cameron is coming back for either Debbie or her, or both of them. There is definitely going to be revenge and she's concerned about what it is going to involve. The police say they've got all bases covered, so there is a bit more security.
"But then Sarah goes missing, which is a bit sinister and worrying. The police tell her not to go outside. Then halfway through Priya's hen do, she has a thought and says, 'I'm putting the pub in lockdown. There's no way I'm having him drop in, so let's just make sure that we're safe'."
How worried is Chas when she hears that Sarah has gone missing?
"It is concerning for Chas that Sarah has gone missing and she ultimately thinks Cameron might have something to do with it, but her main concern is why Cameron has escaped prison."
Are there police around?
"Although there is a policeman positioned outside the front of the pub, there are no armed guards or anything. So Chas takes it upon herself to bolt the front door, bolt the back door, and bolt up the cellar so she thinks there is no way anyone can get in anywhere."
At this point, the residents are also experiencing the worst weather the village has seen in a long time.
"Exactly, so why would anybody want to go outside anyway? So Chas is bolting everyone in the pub, and says, 'That's it, we're having a lockdown, it's nasty out there, let's just all be safe and have a lock-in in the pub'. Who wants to be out in such an horrendous storm anyway?!"

Cameron arrives in The Woolpack.
What is Chas's reaction when she sees that Cameron has gained access to the pub?
"Chas goes to check on the cellar and it is starting to fill up with water. She bolts the cellar doors and comes upstairs and Marlon is there and gives her a fright. Then she goes through to The Woolpack, and Debbie's basically saying, 'I'm getting out, I'm gonna find Sarah'.
"Chas tries to stop her and all of a sudden Cameron appears with a gun. They are locked in, there is no way out, and they have no idea how he's got in in the first place. That is it, they are trapped. There are police outside but there is nowhere to go. Cameron's in the pub looking menacing and Chas is petrified. It is Priya's hen party so there's a lot of people in The Woolpack. It's very frightening for them all."
Is the atmosphere fraught?
"It is very fraught. Everyone knows what Cameron has done, and everyone knows he has escaped and he has a gun, but some people might think he is there purely for Debbie and Chas."
What is his behaviour like?
"At this point Cameron is quite calm with the situation, but that makes it sinister. He very clearly says he has taken care of the police. He's very clear that he wants Debbie to go with him. It's clear, concise - that's his goal, that's what he wants. He's come for Debbie."
But Chas makes a move, doesn't she?
"Yes, she tries to distract him, whack him with a chair, basically. She tries to get the gun off him, as do many people who try to talk him down with the gun."

Cameron arrives in The Woolpack.
The floodwaters in the cellar have been rising, so the production team built a set at Pinewood Studios with a tank for the underwater scenes. Can you tell us a bit about that?
"We went to Pinewood and used their underwater stage and built the largest and heaviest set they've ever constructed. The stage has seen everything from Bond to Dark Shadows, but ours was the largest set that has been built on that stage. We recreated the cellar on a massive scale and hovered it above the tank. Instead of the water rising, day-by-day we lowered the set into the tank."
Was it memorable?
"I will remember that week we filmed at Pinewood forever for various different reasons. Firstly, the chance to work at Pinewood, and the chance to work with Mike Valentine, who has shot everything you can think of. He was the number one underwater cameraman for all the Bond films.
"But also for seeing all our crew in their swimming kit! We had a laugh about how strange it all was to be wading around in water for a week, to learning a new skill from the amazing team of divers we had there. In fact, I have decided I want to learn how to scuba dive properly. It was thrilling, exciting, scary and even claustrophobic, but you felt safe at all times.
"We had divers everywhere making sure we were alright. The costume department gave us hot water bottles and towels because we had to keep getting out of the water. Everyone pulled together and it was just the most amazing week."
How will this compare to last year's live episode?
"In a way, it is bigger. The live was just such a manic thing. This may look bigger to an audience, but it is always hard to know how big stunts look to an audience. They feel completely different to how they come across on camera. I hope this one comes across exactly as it was.
"The live show was ridiculous because everyone knew it was live and anything could go wrong, but this was a completely different and unique situation. It was definitely on a par with the live show. We only used the stunt doubles to line up some of the shots so that we weren't underwater the whole time. We did all our own stunts, which we were so proud of."

The police keep everyone away from The Woolpack.
How was it acting underwater?
"It is really hard to act underwater. You can't see anything and everything's all a blur and it's hard to get your expressions right. Your instincts are to look after yourself so you have to remind yourself you're meant to be playing someone else acting scared, not just yourself."
Were you scared when you were filming underwater?
"There is slight apprehension when you're at the bottom of a ten-foot tank and you're pretending to be stuck. Plus you then have to take your air regulator out and your goggles off after they say, '3, 2, 1'.
"Whilst I was stuck underwater I had a spare regulator between my legs but there is still the fear that if you don't put it in properly or if you don't exhale and get all the water out, you could be in a situation. But we had divers standing by who were just amazing - they were there to pull us out at any moment."
Can you tell us a bit more about Pinewood itself?
"We've had to keep it all quiet. Helena Bonham Carter and Brad Pitt were there and Ridley Scott's new film was in production. At first we thought we would feel out of our territory, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that as we went around Pinewood, loads of crew and technicians said hello as they all watched Emmerdale - 'Hi Chas, you alright mate? Come and have a ride on my minibus and I'll show you around the studio'.
"Some people seemed more excited that we were down there than someone like Brad Pitt, which is absolutely ridiculous of course, but I guess they get used to those big movie stars."
Are you excited to see the episodes?
"I am, but as Charley and I are always highly critical of ourselves, I'm sure afterwards we will think we could have done an awful lot better. But with the time we had to film and the stuff we had to do, hopefully we did the best we could and I hope it will come across and make for amazing viewing.
"I am so proud of our production team and Kate Oates, our series producer. Everybody was saying, 'Let's do the best we can, it's Pinewood for God's sake'. The show is going so well and they're chucking everything at it at the moment. It's storyline after storyline after storyline - everything is being thrown at it.
"I've always been honoured to be part of the show, but I'm so delighted to be given something as massive as this and I want to do the production proud."
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle faces a terrifying situation in her own pub next week as killer Cameron Murray returns and causes chaos.
Startled to hear that Cameron (Dominic Power) is back in the village after escaping from a prison van, Chas tries to put The Woolpack on lockdown to be on the safe side.
Unfortunately, cunning Cameron stays one step ahead and makes his way into the building, armed with a gun. As Chas's worst fears are realised, will Cameron take revenge on her?
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals her character's involvement in a memorable week for Emmerdale.
When Cameron returns to the village, what does Chas think his plan is?
"Chas thinks that Cameron is coming back for either Debbie or her, or both of them. There is definitely going to be revenge and she's concerned about what it is going to involve. The police say they've got all bases covered, so there is a bit more security.
"But then Sarah goes missing, which is a bit sinister and worrying. The police tell her not to go outside. Then halfway through Priya's hen do, she has a thought and says, 'I'm putting the pub in lockdown. There's no way I'm having him drop in, so let's just make sure that we're safe'."
How worried is Chas when she hears that Sarah has gone missing?
"It is concerning for Chas that Sarah has gone missing and she ultimately thinks Cameron might have something to do with it, but her main concern is why Cameron has escaped prison."
Are there police around?
"Although there is a policeman positioned outside the front of the pub, there are no armed guards or anything. So Chas takes it upon herself to bolt the front door, bolt the back door, and bolt up the cellar so she thinks there is no way anyone can get in anywhere."
At this point, the residents are also experiencing the worst weather the village has seen in a long time.
"Exactly, so why would anybody want to go outside anyway? So Chas is bolting everyone in the pub, and says, 'That's it, we're having a lockdown, it's nasty out there, let's just all be safe and have a lock-in in the pub'. Who wants to be out in such an horrendous storm anyway?!"

Cameron arrives in The Woolpack.
What is Chas's reaction when she sees that Cameron has gained access to the pub?
"Chas goes to check on the cellar and it is starting to fill up with water. She bolts the cellar doors and comes upstairs and Marlon is there and gives her a fright. Then she goes through to The Woolpack, and Debbie's basically saying, 'I'm getting out, I'm gonna find Sarah'.
"Chas tries to stop her and all of a sudden Cameron appears with a gun. They are locked in, there is no way out, and they have no idea how he's got in in the first place. That is it, they are trapped. There are police outside but there is nowhere to go. Cameron's in the pub looking menacing and Chas is petrified. It is Priya's hen party so there's a lot of people in The Woolpack. It's very frightening for them all."
Is the atmosphere fraught?
"It is very fraught. Everyone knows what Cameron has done, and everyone knows he has escaped and he has a gun, but some people might think he is there purely for Debbie and Chas."
What is his behaviour like?
"At this point Cameron is quite calm with the situation, but that makes it sinister. He very clearly says he has taken care of the police. He's very clear that he wants Debbie to go with him. It's clear, concise - that's his goal, that's what he wants. He's come for Debbie."
But Chas makes a move, doesn't she?
"Yes, she tries to distract him, whack him with a chair, basically. She tries to get the gun off him, as do many people who try to talk him down with the gun."

Cameron arrives in The Woolpack.
The floodwaters in the cellar have been rising, so the production team built a set at Pinewood Studios with a tank for the underwater scenes. Can you tell us a bit about that?
"We went to Pinewood and used their underwater stage and built the largest and heaviest set they've ever constructed. The stage has seen everything from Bond to Dark Shadows, but ours was the largest set that has been built on that stage. We recreated the cellar on a massive scale and hovered it above the tank. Instead of the water rising, day-by-day we lowered the set into the tank."
Was it memorable?
"I will remember that week we filmed at Pinewood forever for various different reasons. Firstly, the chance to work at Pinewood, and the chance to work with Mike Valentine, who has shot everything you can think of. He was the number one underwater cameraman for all the Bond films.

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has said that the hostage situation next week will have lasting consequences for her character Chas Dingle and niece Debbie.
Viewers will know that there is an on-going feud between Chas and Debbie (Charley Webb) due to their relationships with Cameron, and more recently over Debbie's involvement in Gennie's death.
Speaking at an Emmerdale press conference yesterday, Pargeter said: "This is the way to plaster them together or the way to pull them apart forever. It is an experience that they go through together and it is with the man that they both love or have loved.
"I think this will either rip them apart or pull them together and hopefully that will be either the end of their relationship, or the end of their feud. It will be nice for it to have a conclusion either way."
Webb added: "I hope they do sort it out. The two of them were so close and they both depend on each other so much. It would be nice to have them reunited."

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has reaffirmed her commitment to the soap as she prepares to take part in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
The actress, best known for playing Chas Dingle in the ITV drama, is one of ten contestants who have today (November 13) been officially confirmed for the reality show's latest series.
Speaking of her involvement for the first time, Pargeter insisted that she won't be looking for a new career direction after her stint in the high-profile programme.
She confirmed: "I am not doing it for those reasons. I have got a job and I am not doing it to further my career. When I come out of the show, I will go back to Emmerdale. For me, it's more of a personal challenge."
The 36-year-old admitted that she agreed to take part "on the spur of the moment" after being approached by the jungle show's bosses.
"I am bricking myself now about going into the jungle," she said. "You start thinking 'Why am I doing it? Why am I putting myself through it?'
"I do tend to make all my decisions in life on the spur of the moment. I don't really think about it. But at the same time, there comes a time where it's good to make myself do something I would not normally do.
"I am 36, I don't challenge myself, I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I am very happy with the routine of my life I have got."
Pargeter added that the biggest challenges will be appearing out of character and being involved in Bushtucker Trials.
She explained: "I have always been able to hide behind my character. People will see me as me, which is weird to get your head around. That is the most worrying part, really. I am most scared of the fear of people not liking you.
"But I want to give everything a go. The challenges are not there for you to enjoy. They are there to cause you grief and make people laugh!"
I'm a Celebrity launches on Sunday, November 17 at 9pm on ITV.

Chas Dingle and James Barton share some of their biggest secrets with each other in next week's episodes.
During a game of truth or dare, Chas tells James (Bill Ward) the truth about her son Aaron's departure from the village, explaining that he took the blame when Adam set fire to Cain's garage.
Still harbouring his own Adam-related secret, James braces himself as he later tells Chas the truth about the young farmer's paternity…
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals how her character responds to the bombshell news.
Is Chas falling for James?
"I think she is. She's kind of done it again - fallen quite rapidly for this new man in the village. Chas is falling for him quickly and stupidly - she's on the way!"
Now that James has moved in with her, does Chas see this as a permanent arrangement?
"No, Chas doesn't really want him living there, but it's kind of by default because James has got nowhere to stay and he can't go back to the farm. It's not really Chas's plan, but she kind of likes having him around. I don't think she's thinking long term, but she didn't want James to move in that quickly. She's helping him out and I think it's quite nice to have a man around."
James is quite preoccupied by thoughts of Adam at the moment. Does that cause problems for his relationship with Chas?
"She knows he's preoccupied and that he's got something on his mind, so it does cause a few things. At the very start of the relationship, he's not 100% there so she's getting a bit narky as they're not spending any time together - because he's on the farm and his mind is elsewhere. Chas doesn't get the attention that she thinks she deserves."
What happens when they play a game of truth or dare next week?
"They go for dinner at the B&B and decide to play it. The first question Chas asks James is why his ex left. She's been hankering after that one for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to ask.
"Then James dares her to go and ask a woman who's having dinner at the B&B why she keeps staring over. It turns out that the woman isn't actually staring at James, she's staring at Chas, which is quite funny. But that kind of thaws things between them, and they have a laugh about it. They get on really well."
Does the discussion about James's ex put that issue to bed for Chas?
"I think Chas is going to always be intrigued. James's ex Emma was a big part of his life and she's the mother of his kids, so she'll always be intrigued. But Chas has brought it up quite a few times and James says that things weren't quite right. They had a baby - Finn - to try to fix things, but it didn't work out and she left. So for Chas, the question has been answered."
What prompts Chas to tell James the truth about why Aaron can't come back to the village?
"Chas asks James if he has any more secrets and he says no. Then she feels bad because they are talking about their sons, and I suppose that it does involve him because it involves Adam and he's with the Barton family.
"I suppose Chas just wants to get it off her chest, really. Aaron can't come back to the village and James says that's because he's an arsonist, but Chas says, 'No, that's not the truth, it's because he's taken the fall for Adam who did it'. James has heard about the fire, so Chas feels safe enough to open up and tell the truth that Aaron has taken the blame for Adam."
What is James's reaction to the admission from Chas?
"He's quite surprised about Chas being so open!"
The next day, James decides to tell Chas that he's Adam's real father. How does she react?
"Chas is really shocked and her first instinct is asking if Cain knows, because Cain has just recently married Moira. When she finds out that Cain doesn't know, Chas says, 'I'm sorry but I'm going to have to tell Cain after all that I've been through in the past year with my family. I was disowned by my family before for keeping secrets, so I have to tell Cain the truth'."
Can James persuade Chas to keep quiet?
"I don't know - I think that the viewers will have to wait and see. Both James and Moira are desperate to make sure that Chas keeps her mouth shut - but will she?"

Chas Dingle starts making plans to clear the name of her son Aaron Livesy next week following his shock return to the village.
When Aaron (Danny Miller) arrives back from France to help his old friend Adam Barton, an emotional Chas decides that it's time for him to come home for good.
Chas suggests telling the truth about the 2012 fire at Cain's garage by reporting Adam (Adam Thomas) to the police, but will Aaron really betray his best mate to get his old life back?
Here, Lucy Pargeter - who plays Chas - reveals the drama in store for her character following Aaron's return.
How does Chas feel when she first comes face-to-face with Aaron again?
"Chas is angry, shocked and confused about why Aaron is there. When she finds out why he's back, Chas is a bit angry that Aaron has risked showing himself to the police by coming back to help his mate out.
"Chas is also annoyed that Aaron hasn't let her know about his plans. She is a bit shocked by it all, but she is also overwhelmed with happiness that he is back and she gets to see him, as she gets to see him so rarely the rest of the time. It's all very hush-hush and Chas can't tell anybody where he is. So she is happy, but also stressed that he might get found by the police!"
Does Chas want to put distance between Aaron and Adam after the recent Barton troubles?
"Yeah, Chas is concerned that if Adam is involved with anything dodgy and Aaron tries to help him, then he's going to get himself in trouble as well. The overwhelming concern is that if Aaron is caught by the police, that's it - he's going to go down because he's on the run. If he gets involved with Adam, he's on a slippery slope to aggro and trouble."
Do Chas and Moira clash over their sons?
"They're both keen to protect their own, and there is a slight clash when Chas thinks that the only way this can be resolved is if Aaron goes to the police and tells them what really happened by shopping Adam in over the fire.
"There is tension with Moira because of that. Moira can understand where Chas is coming from, but they have a massive argument. Chas says it's not fair for Aaron to have been on the run for two years, especially when Adam is chucking it all away by going down the wrong path."
How does the situation affect Chas emotionally?
"Chas just wants Aaron home for good. She wants his name cleared because she's sick of people thinking he's an arsonist and a troublemaker who's on the run. She wants him to be part of her life and for him to settle down in the village again. It's brought everything back for her - what Aaron's had to give up and what she's had to give up for the sake of somebody else's son."
What is the dynamic like between them once Aaron returns?
"It's that classic Chas and Aaron mother-son relationship, where they always clash over things. She loves him dearly but is often far too overprotective. He's very much in control this time and says he's going to go back to France and she can't stop him."
How does Chas see some of Aaron's self-harming scars?
"They're holed up in a barn, as Aaron is keeping himself out of the way at Moira's farm. He goes to change his clothes and Chas sees his scars. It forces her to remember how desperate and bitterly unhappy Aaron was at times. She gets worried that this situation will bring even more stress on him and he'll start self-harming again."
What does Chas want to happen?
"Chas wants Cain to go and tell the police that the arsonist was Adam. She says that if they don't shop Adam in, she'll do it herself. Chas is very clear that now she has got the opportunity to have Aaron back, she just wants his name to be cleared. She knows he may be in trouble for going on the run, but that's not as bad as being in trouble for being an arsonist."
How does Aaron react when he realises that Chas wants to shop Adam to the police?
"Aaron is very, very adamant that it's not going to happen. He says that he's going back to France and if Chas goes through with what she's planning, it's the last she'll see of him. He is being serious. Aaron loves his mum but he also loves his mate."
Doesn't Chas worry about how this could affect her relationships with James and Moira?
"Chas is purely thinking about her son. It's not that she's not bothered about the others, but her son is more important to her than anybody. She says to James that Aaron comes before anybody else."
What do you think the future holds for Chas and Aaron?
"I don't think their relationship will ever be that of a typical mother-son. Chas is very overprotective and she's not a great role model, although she is settling in her older age!
"I don't think there'll be turbulent times ahead, but I don't think it'll be plain sailing either. Now there are more males in the village and the Barton boys are in there as the bad boys, it'll be interesting to see where Aaron fits. Is he sorting his life out, or will he stay a bit bad? It'll be great to see Chas and Aaron's relationship again and her mothering side trying to come out."
What's it like to have Danny back?
"Honestly, about half an hour after Danny arrived back on set, it was like he'd never been away. I think he came back a little bit unsure. Things aren't too different as we haven't changed at all as people, but there are new people and new dynamics, and I think he was a bit scared of where he was going to fit in within the new dimensions of the show.
"After half an hour, though, he was laughing and joking like the same old Danny. When you see him working with Jeff Hordley and Dominic Brunt, you see how everyone falls back into old friendships and new relationships. It's like having another fresh wide-eyed lad on set who is eager and keen to do a great job. It's brilliant."

Lucy Pargeter has insisted that her character Chas Dingle is better off single for a while.
Chas dumps her current partner James Barton (Bill Ward) next week after he betrays her by sleeping with his estranged wife Emma.
James only makes the shocking move as he fears that Chas has cheated on him with her own ex Paddy Kirk, but she finds it difficult to forgive his infidelity.
Speaking of the drama to come, Pargeter teased: "I think she does give him a chance afterwards. He is sorry, he's really apologetic. But it's a bit like, 'I'm sorry, I just fell into her. I was drunk'. She's used all those excuses herself! He suggests they go away together as friends, but there's a reason why they can't go away together.
"Chas for a minute thinks maybe there's a chance, but then she thinks again and thinks, 'Nope'. She jumps from man to man, really. For a long time she's just needed someone in her life, but she doesn't need a man, she's got a pub. She's got plenty of clients there, I'm sure! She likes James, but I think they're fine apart."
Pargeter also revealed that there won't be a full-on catfight between Chas and Emma (Gillian Kearney) once the truth is out.
She laughed: "Chas does push her out of the pub, and she does say, 'Stay away from me or I will batter you!' But she's mellowed - she only throws drinks nowadays, not punches! All I keep reading is, 'throw another drink'. What happened to the punching Chas? But I'm a brilliant aim now - with water or beer."

The actor has turned boring into an art form
in playing James which shows he must have
some talent as when he was in Corrie his
character wasnt very nice but he wasnt boring.
I think.James &Emma are well suited - obsessive
in.different ways but both very predictable-
so to me not very interesting !!
Preferred Chas with Carl rather than Cameron-
Great pity Carl was "killed off".

Yeah well Carl's dead, lets move on people. Chas needs to be back with James. Some people are wanting her back with Paddy FGS, I really hope that doesn't happen AGAIN. And I like Bill Ward, I think he's a good enough actor, its not his fault that the writers have given him boring story lines. Chas and James need to fight for each other. That's just my opinion.

Moving on usually means moving to something
at least as good -not backwards to something/
someone worse.
In this case I dont think its the writers fault-
it is the actors performance or lack of!
He has been capable of better before.
Im all.for Chas having anr relationship!
Just not with James.
He is well suited to Emma - which I think
is part of reason she was brought in
and parts written as they have been.
So why would Chas fight for him-far
too boring and obsessive-not really her.!!

Have you forgotten that Chas was with Cameron? So your theory of Chas moving on to better is something to poke holes in. And as for James better suiting Emma, how do you figure that? Emma was better suited to Cameron if anybody. So honestly, I don't see your logic to any of your augment with James & Chas being together. Its the writers that have made his character boring, like I said in my previous post. Sorry this is just my opinion.

Have you forgotten that Chas was with Cameron? So your theory of Chas moving on to better is something to poke holes in. And as for James better suiting Emma, how do you figure that? Emma was better suited to Cameron if anybody. So honestly, I don't see your logic to any of your augment with James & Chas being together. Its the writers that have made his character boring, like I said in my previous post. Sorry this is just my opinion.
You have every right to your opinion -no need
to be sorry.
I had not forgotten Cameron !!! It is very recent.!!
and he was a serial killer -I didnt particularly like
him but he was evil but not boring!And not
really relevant to post.
Basically having anr relationship is to me not
not the same as moving on in a positive way.
Quite a lot of people go from one bad relationship
to.anr thats as bad or worse. This seems to be
rather than have some time on their own-a
lack.of self-esteem.perhaps.Making one mistake
doesnt mean u have to repeat it.
In soaps they just bodge 2 unattached people
together to keep storylines going and these are
often unrealistic pairings.
I think.Emma and James are well matched -
as they are both obsessive manipulative
and creepy and that the story will be written
to reflect that! See how things go!
Have u "forgotten" how strange James was
with Moira and his other behaviours.
I appreciate we all like different characters/
people and there are few soap characters I
find really unacceptable but James is one
of the few.
Your opinion is the opposite.!! But that's
part of being a forum member- that posters
dont always agree.
I would still.like Chas to have a new relationship
with some one pleasant & interesting but as its
a soap and choices very limited-not holding
my breath.
P.s. Dont think logic has ever been part of
soap stories. From comments on many threads
- quite a few posters seem to agree.

What about Chas and Pete, fairly obvious Debbie is not truly in love with Pete and that Ross ticks more of her boxes so they will end up together

I get that Chas is upset but I thought she understand as when she cheated on paddy with Carl. Then Carl told paddy cause chas wasn't going to tell but just because James messed up it doesn't give anyone the right to bottle them. I liked James and chas together so we see.
Chas is too old for Pete the actress I hear is only 38 yet she looks 10 years older. I always felt vanessa and pete were better together she is beautiful and has a fun personality.

I would have said Emma- as she has been
brought in to be- ??strange??. The producer
more or less said so - when character announced-
But a part slways played that way can be as
boring as someone who.is .......boring.
Too predictable.
So it would be interesting to me - if it was
one of Carls kids.Not sure how old Camerons

Chas Dingle will be left terrified next week as it becomes apparent that someone is stalking her.
Chas (Lucy Pargeter) will find her troubles going from bad to worse after she lies during a police reconstruction of Robert Sugden's shooting and her son Aaron is later arrested.
The latest problem for Chas kicks off when she wakes up disorientated in the night and notices that her wardrobe has been left open with half the contents strewn around the floor.
As the Dingles rally around her following Aaron's arrest, Chas is delivered some harsh words by an angry Diane, who warns that she'll never be able to forgive her for not telling the truth during the reconstruction.
Chas also manages to get on the wrong side of Emma Barton once again as she seethes with jealousy after witnessing James comforting her.
Later that night, Chas awakes again and immediately senses something isn't right, before she heads downstairs and steps on some broken glass.
Seeing that there are smashed bottles and optics everywhere, Chas begins to shake as she fears that she is being targeted. Who is stalking her and why?
Emmerdale airs these scenes next week on ITV.

Emma and Chas argue on Tuesday 13th October, Aaron is arrested for gun possession on Thursday 15th, then Chas then starts having strange things happen in her bedroom and bar on Friday 16th October. She thinks she's been targeted by someone and suggests a stalker is following her.
The stalker suggestion sounds reasonable enough to start with. The spoilers for Friday 16th sound a bit odd though. Just how did someone get into Chas' bedroom without her noticing, and how did someone manage to get into the bar and trash glassware without her waking up in bed? Were there signs of a break-in?
Of course, Chas could have been sleepwalking and thrown her own clothes over the bedroom floor herself? As for the bar being trashed, if this was Chas too then it must have been a very deep sleep.
I wonder if this could be the sign of some sort of medical condition? We know that Chas has been under a lot of strain lately, even experiencing inner anger and turmoil which may not have been obvious to an onlooker, and the spoilers mention that she has nightmares when Aaron goes to jail. Strangely enough, the bedroom/bar issues happen on Friday 16th October, the day after Aaron gets arrested and jailed. Is this co-incidence or what?
I suppose it's possible that Chas might have started to suffer from sleepwalking, she might even have had it for some time already but the effects may have been less obvious until Aaron gets jailed.
I suppose some kind of Alzheimer-type of illness is unlikely for someone of Chas' age but these strange events involving her seem to be becoming increasingly frequent as the stress levels in her life seem to be increasing too. Maybe anything beyond simple sleepwalking is far too dark for Emmerdale to be aired at the usual time of from 7pm on ITV?
A stalker is a much simpler explanation for Chas' upcoming problems right now. Kate Oates said in a recent interview that she likes fast-paced storylines, well one involving a stalker would fit with this approach. This is also why I reckon that Robert's shooter will be found out by police during the Emmerdale 'rewind' episode (and not left as an unsolved police crime) and I am really sure anyway that Kate Oates will want to leave a 'tidy desk' when she leaves Emmerdale as Series Producer to go to Coronation Street then.

We know from current spoilers already though, that Chas and Aaron have a big storyline in New Year with Aaron, so this suggests that neither Chas nor Aaron are proved to shoot Robert.
I'll talk a while longer here about Chas though.
We know that the police stopped suspecting Chas to be Robert's shooter because forensics came back and said that the bullet entry direction was wrong for her and that her clothes didn't show evidence of blood-splatter, the conclusion being that she couldn't have been the person who shot him. Of course, the Emmerdale soap forensics team could be wrong or the evidence explained differently later. Emmerdale soap police have a long history of getting things wrong!
The TV footage from September suggests that Chas had already finished talking to him and had already turned and was moving away from him at the moment that the bullet entered his chest, near his heart. Chas also seemed to be her usual self when she was talking to Robert when telling him he needed to leave Emmerdale (and said more like a caring gesture rather than a threatening one?). Because of all this, plus the forensics for now, it seems very unlikely that Chas was oddly sleep-walking at the time and for her to somehow have shot Robert without her knowing about it/remembering this. Chas was earlier at Home Farm with Chrissie when Chrissie placed the gun on the lounge table, so I suppose Chas could somehow have managed to put the gun in her pocket without Chrissie realising, particularly as Chrissie was upset and had been drinking quite a bit and could have assumed that she'd put the gun back into the safe.
The most likely conclusion for now for all of this is that Robert's shooter wasn't Chas or Aaron?
Just why Aaron had a gun from anywhere remains to be seen. It really sounds like some answers will be revealed on Friday 16th October when Aaron talks to Chas when he is in jail.
wikipedia is not the most reliable of sources, but here is a quickie summary about sleepwalking for now:
>
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism or noctambulism, is a sleep disorder belonging to the parasomnia family. Sleepwalkers arise from the slow wave sleep stage in a state of low consciousness and perform activities that are usually performed during a state of full consciousness. These activities can be as benign as sitting up in bed, walking to a bathroom, and cleaning, or as hazardous as cooking, driving, violent gestures, grabbing at hallucinated objects, or even homicide.
Although generally sleepwalking cases consist of simple, repeated behaviours, there are occasionally reports of people performing complex behaviours while asleep, although their legitimacy is often disputed. Sleepwalkers often have little or no memory of the incident, as their consciousness has altered into a state in which it is harder to recall memories. Although their eyes are open, their expression is dim and glazed over. Sleepwalking may last as little as 30 seconds or as long as 30 minutes.

last break in the door was open as Chas shut and bolted it in the end scene
but when the bar taps were on, the door had been locked by the stalker, as she had to open them to let the Dingles in?
so someone with keys? or someone staying inside when the pub shuts?

Spoilers tell that the Chas Dingle "stalker" storyline keeps going until at least week ending 27th November. Maybe this storyline extends for much longer and carries on though 2016? Anyway, it really looks like another whodunnit storyline is around for us now, this one being one I'd call "Who stalks Chas?". Looks like it's yet another time for us all to get our Scooby Doo mystery-solver hats on to find out which baddie is involved.

Chas isn't really leaning nor is she trying to get close to him. Everything that's happened, James is the one who initiates all their interactions. Rewatch them, as far as I am aware, everything thats happened, James went to Chas not the other way round.

So we now know from tonight's episode that Chas can sleep-walk, as she was shown to be in a trance, pushing glasses off the bar and going down into the beer cellar. The noise of breaking glass didn't seem to wake her and she didn't walk on any glass in her bare feet either.
Some or all of the previous "stalker" scenes can now be explained by Chas sleep-walking, such as the clothes in her bedroom wardrobe being found thrown across the floor one morning and glass being on the bar floor on another morning. The latest incident shown early in tonight's episode revealed no sign of break-in and the pub seemed to be only occupied by Chas as Diane and Doug are on holiday at the moment.
I'm guessing that the storyliners will now set-up Chas to cause all sorts of fun, suspicions and arguments between villagers over this sleep-walking issue over the coming episodes and that we're in for a "smashing time" for a while. My only questions are, for just how long will things be allowed to go on for, and just how dangerous will things get for anyone? Presumably, Doug or Diane eventually find Chas during one of her sleep-walking incidents around the pub when they come back from holiday or by Aaron when he gets released from jail soon.
I'm disappointed that the "stalker" reveal has happened so quickly and I really was hoping that we were going to be in for a meaty "Who stalks Chas" whodunnit, but we all know how Kate Oates is all for fast storylines at the moment and it seems like this is yet another one.
Of course, the sleep-walking may be something of a partial explanation for now for some of the odd things happening lately to Chas. Maybe we will see evidence of a real stalker come to light in due course as I for one think that the "stalker" storyline for Chas may not be over just yet. It may even be that someone now starts playing on Chas's obvious vulnerability right now by being a real stalker out of nastiness, spite, jealousy or hatred? (Emma? Ross? Diane? Someone else?)

About a month ago, Radio Times posted an interview with Kate Oates about the upcoming storyline for Chas and Aaron this Autumn. Kate Oates did some teasing in this but there are some clues about the future included.
Aaron and Chas to get "a blast from the past" in dramatic new storyline, promises Emmerdale boss
By David Brown, Radio Times
Tuesday 6 October 2015 at 3:26PM
There are surprises in store for Chas and Aaron this autumn as part of an emotional new plotline, promises Emmerdale boss Kate Oates.
"Aaron and Chas's story involves a blast from the past," teased the soap's series producer to RadioTimes.com. "What we'll see over the next few weeks is the culmination of years of stress taking their toll on Chas. And she's hoping that what eventually happens might represent some light at the end of the tunnel."
Next week's episodes of Emmerdale will see Chas grow convinced that she's being stalked, while also having to deal with the shock arrest of son Aaron. But what is it provides some hope in the midst of these crises? A reconciliation with James Barton? The reappearance of Aaron's dad Gordon?
All Oates will say is that the situation should not be taken at face value. "The big issue will be how Chas and Aaron respond to what's happening. There will be some twists and turns and - as always in soapland – nothing is as it seems."
Oates's comments come following the announcement last week from the soap's head honcho that this hard-hitting storyline will delve into Chas and Aaron's backstories.
"We’ll be exploring something about their background and history, which tells us a lot about who they are today.
"It’ll be a tough story to tell and to play. I’m sure that they are more than up to the challenge."

The sleepwalking is a symptom and an indicator of something much deeper. I expect we'll see the sleepwalking lead to suspicion and arguments between the villagers about who is "stalking " Chas, as she and they don't know yet that Chas sleepwalks. During week commencing 23rd November, someone terrifies Chas and she stabs him/her. Presumably this is in the dark early one morning inside the Woolpack bar. I suspect that this will be one of the Woolpack residents (Doug? Diane? Aaron?) but it could be a new character altogether. It doesn't sound as if Chas is sleepwalking when this happens though, as being "terrified" doesn't tie in with the zombie-like state most sleepwalkers seem to have.
Spoilers and Kate Oates' teasing interview (read earlier post of mine above) suggest that Chas' sleepwalking is triggered by recent stress and Aaron being sent to jail but has an underlying cause linked to her past. This could be a traumatic previous experience or relationship, maybe from when Chas was in the army or even when she was much younger. So the sleepwalking is only the start of a longer storyline to explain Chas's past. Aaron is involved in this somehow and I think it should deal with a time when Chas was much younger than now and when Aaron was a child. As Aaron is 23yo, I'm guessing that the issues happened 9+ years ago (2006 or earlier) when Aaron was 14yo or younger. Kate Oates mentioned a "blast from the past", so it seems possible everything is connected to Aaron's father and Chas's former husband Gordon Livesey. Whoever the person involved is, it looks as if any Aaron viewer fans should find the upcoming storyline for Chas and Aaron to be of interest.

Chas Dingle to stab Diane Sugden in shock scenes
Chas's fear leaves Diane in peril next week.
By Daniel Kilkelly, Digital Spy
17 November 2015
Life at The Woolpack will take a very dark turn on Emmerdale next week as Chas Dingle accidentally stabs her friend Diane Sugden.
Chas will make the shocking move in the heat of the moment when she thinks that her stalker has broken into the pub to kill her.
The terrified landlady has convinced herself that she is being stalked by her enemy Emma Barton, but viewers have seen that Chas herself is responsible for the strange goings-on as she's been sleepwalking at the pub.
Still unaware of the reality behind the spooky situation, Chas is left fearful again next week when Emma returns to the village after a few days away.
Emma's presence sends Chas's paranoia into overdrive, especially when she wakes up one morning to find a large kitchen knife placed next to her bed.

Aaron is upset to see Chas overreact
Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas, revealed: "Chas has decided she's being stalked by Emma. Emma has always been a bit of a strange character anyway, but there's an extra insecurity there due to her relationship with James. Emma keeps thinking that James is going to reunite with Chas, even though Chas has got no interest in James at all anymore.
"When Chas finds the knife by her bed, she thinks it's definitely a message from Emma that she's going to have to watch her back. Chas thinks her life is in danger and she completely freaks out.
"Afterwards, Aaron and Cain both offer to do a stake-out at Emma's house, which does reassure Chas. Cain has really stepped up as head of the Dingles recently and his brother-sister relationship with Chas is really flowering."
Unfortunately, Chas's new-found relief doesn't last for long as she wakes up that night to hear a disturbance from downstairs. Diane is responsible for the noise as she is arriving home a little worse for wear after a night out.
Pargeter continued: "When Chas hears the noise, she thinks Emma has come to get her and she might lose her life. She takes the knife with her to defend herself and I think instinct just kicks in.
"What happens isn't self-defence, but it's fuelled by everything that's happened. Chas reacts in the worst way possible and just lunges forward. She doesn't know who's there, but she thinks it's either them or her and stabs Diane.
"It's complete panic afterwards and Chas doesn't believe that she could have done it. She runs away from the situation - it's a 'fight or flight' thing - but Cain goes after her. I think she needs professional help now, really. It's gone beyond the help that Aaron and Cain can give her."
Emmerdale fans will see Diane pull through after being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery, but there could be more trouble to come when she later receives some shocking news from the doctors.
Chas also has a long journey ahead as it's already been revealed that her ex-husband Gordon will soon be returning to the village, played by actor Gary Mavers.
Speaking about what's ahead, Pargeter added: "I really do hope that Chas and Diane can get their friendship back on track. They work great as a team and I love working with Liz.
"Chas has let Diane down quite a lot in the past and she's been so forgiving over the years. Whether this will be the final straw that makes Diane think they can't be friends anymore, I don't know! They always have their fallings out, but then they come back together again, so fingers crossed.
"I'm really enjoying the storylines at the moment, but I'm absolutely shattered to be quite honest with you. It's been absolute non-stop, as we've had long days and night shoots.
"I've also been moving house and renovating, so my personal life has been crazy as well. Normally you can leave work, go home and relax but everything's been crazy for a couple of months. I'm looking forward to taking on the next challenge, but hopefully in more relaxed surroundings at home!"
Emmerdale airs Diane's stabbing on Wednesday, November 25 at 7pm on ITV.

Emmerdale spoilers: Chas to be diagnosed with PTSD after stabbing Diane
The news will cause tensions between Doug and the Dingles.
By Daniel Kilkelly, Digital Spy
24 November 2015
Emmerdale will delve deeper into Chas Dingle's problems next week as she is diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Chas has been struggling badly ever since she witnessed Robert Sugden being shot in the village at the end of September.
The pub landlady has even convinced herself that she is being stalked following a series of strange events in her home, unaware that she has been committing the acts herself while sleepwalking.
The tense storyline comes to a head this fortnight as Chas becomes so terrified at The Woolpack that she accidentally stabs her friend Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen).
In the aftermath, Chas flees from the pub in terror and ends up disorientated in the woods - seeing strange visions of Robert as well as hearing noises of gunshots and voices.
The experience is so frightening for Chas that she trips and falls unconscious, but the ordeal leads to her finally getting the help she needs when a doctor later diagnoses her with PTSD.
Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas, revealed: "Chas doubts the diagnosis initially - I think many people do. It's mentioned to her by Aaron after all the wood stuff happens. He has an inkling that this is what she might be suffering from.
"Many people think it's only soldiers who might get PTSD, but it can happen to anybody. It's triggered by a traumatic event - like the diagnosis of an illness, the witnessing of a car crash, or being in a crash.
"It can have so many different triggers and it doesn't necessarily happen straight away. It's taken a while - and Chas has had quite a lot of bad things happen to her!"
Pargeter explained that Chas's issues date back to her previous ordeal with serial killer Cameron Murray, who was killed after a horrifying siege at the pub in 2013.
"I think it's nice for the show to say that these things don't always just go away, and that the repercussions can happen a couple of years after the event," she said.
"We've worked really closely with Mind, who have been quite happy for it to be a female character that isn't a soldier. We've been working with them on the symptoms and how it can manifest, so hopefully we have done it justice.
"Not every case is the same. There are loads of different triggers and it can manifest itself in different ways. The sleepwalking was quite interesting to discover, as it does cause sleeplessness. We then tied it in with the Emma stuff, so it's been nice to see it weaving its way through."
Chas's diagnosis will initially cause fireworks in the village, as Doug Potts wonders whether it's all a Dingle con to get her off the hook for stabbing Diane. Aaron, Cain and Zak all angrily jump to Chas's defence, and Doug is forced to sheepishly back down when the reality of the situation becomes clear.
On Chas being chosen for the plot, Pargeter joked: "I am extremely surprised that the whole village hasn't been diagnosed with it at some point. But that's what I mean - we have so many things happening in this village, so it's nice to see this.
"We had a serial killer who killed three people before getting his comeuppance - finally we are doing something about it. We're finally showing the audience that you can't go through all this stuff without having some consequence."

Lucy Pargeter talks about Gordon Livesy returning to Emmerdale
How would Chas react if she knew that Diane had bumped into her ex-husband Gordon?
She'd be very shocked about it because Gordon has been out of her and Aaron's lives for quite a few years now. Chas and Gordon didn't part on good terms, and ever since then she's had to work very hard with Aaron to make up for all the time she was out of his life when he was a kid. Gordon coming back now might turn everything upside down.
Can you see a chance for Chas and Gordon to make another go of things? Is there a spark?
Well, it's that thing about your first love: they'll probably always have that connection, and of course they have Aaron together. But Chas is in a very fragile state these days, so I don't think she'll be willing to jump back into another relationship with anyone.

I'm actually loving this storyline, yes it may be a bit out there with some scenes (like the Robert hallucinations last night) but I feel that makes us manage to relate to Chas more, whereas if we couldn't see the hallucinations we may not be able to sympathise as much.

I like it too. Think it has been done really well. feel so sorry for Chas and Lucy has done a great Job. And actually for the first time in a while Aaron was great. I like him but the stuff he has been given lately hasn't done him any good. This storyline has been great for him and look forward to seeing what's next
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle will make a risky decision in the New Year when she decides to rekindle her relationship with her ex-husband Gordon Livesy.
Chas gives into temptation after Gordon returns to the village for the first time in years, but she chooses to keep their son Aaron in the dark over their reignited romance.
Now played by former Peak Practice actor Gary Mavers, Gordon arrives back on screen next week when Diane Sugden has a chance meeting with him while having chemotherapy.
Gordon is also at the hospital as he has been battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma. While catching up with Diane, he is surprised to hear just how much Chas and Aaron have been struggling recently and decides to reach out to them.
Unsurprisingly, Gordon gets a frosty reception from Aaron, but he does make enough progress with Chas to be invited to the Dingle family's Christmas lunch.
Things go a step further at New Year as Chas surprises herself by kissing Gordon, but she knows that there'd be fireworks if Aaron ever found out.
Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas, explained: "It's rekindling that old flame. It's that first love thing - they'll always have a connection and they've got Aaron together as well. It's a chemical connection. I don't think Chas is willing to jump back into another relationship, but there is that magnetism that is pulling them together.
"But because of Aaron's bad reaction to Gordon turning up, Chas does it in secret even though she keeps saying she won't have any more secrets. Here's another one!"

Reminding us of their history, Pargeter continued: "At first Chas is quite shocked to see Gordon, to be honest. He's been out of Aaron's life for quite a few years. Chas and Gordon didn't part on good terms. The last time we saw them together, Chas had given Aaron a wallop round the head. Gordon had come back and rescued his son and said, 'You're never seeing him again'.
"So Chas is surprised to see Gordon, but he tries to convince her that he needs to make up for lost time. That's like Chas was - she had to work hard with Aaron and make up for all the time they had lost. So she's very open to Gordon coming back.
"I think because of her own history with Aaron, she just tries to convince him to give Gordon another chance. She was like that with him, but he gave her another chance and look at them now. She just wants to see Aaron happy, but he doesn't react well.
"It's always nice to see old characters brought back. I'm always interested in people's history and a massive chunk of both Chas and Aaron's history is Gordon. So it's amazing to see and discover what actually went on. I'm really happy that he's here."
Emmerdale airs Chas and Gordon's kiss on New Year's Day at 7pm on ITV.

Is Chas all cured now, no more follow up with therapy sessions or with a doctor, no more mention of her episodes which lead to Diane's stabbing which is bad writing on what was a good storyline
Chas asks Robert for a favour
We never thought that we’d see the day where Chas Dingle would be calling on Robert Sugden for a favour. But in the wake of the admission from Aaron Livesy that he was abused as a child by his dad Gordon, the pair are set to find themselves awkwardly united for a similar cause.
Despite Chas’ misgivings about Robert’s suitability for Aaron, she will soon be forced to concede that he is indeed on her son’s side and will surprise him with an unexpected request for a very big favour indeed.
But what is it that she wants from him?
Aaron has taken some time away from the village following threats from Gordon but both Chas and Robert remain determined to fight for justice on his behalf. And Chas is left thoughtful and questioning her own judgement of Robert when he urges her to keep pressing on after the police admit they have had no luck in tracking down Gordon’s ex wife, Sandra.
With Robert’s offer of help logged away in her mind, she is convinced to keep up the fight and seeks Cain’s help in looking through Aaron’s old school reports for anything that could prove useful.
Later, Robert is taken aback when Chas turns to him and has a very big ask of him. But how will he respond – and will he finally be able to prove to her that they are both in this together for Aaron?

Emmerdale's Chas Dingle turns vigilante next week, as she decides to dish out her own ruthless punishment to rapist Gordon.
Chas (Lucy Pargeter) is driven to desperate measures when she starts to fear that her troubled son Aaron will never get justice for what Gordon did to him.
Angered by the lack of progress in the case since Aaron reported Gordon, a determined Chas heads over to her ex-husband's house in a rage.
Chas clearly has revenge in mind as she clutches a can of spray paint and bangs at the door, shouting at Gordon to come out before she lets his neighbours know what he really is.
When Gordon fails to respond to her, Chas starts furiously spraying his car with paint - publicly branding him a paedophile.
While Chas's anger is clearly justified, Aaron's ex-boyfriend Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) soon arrives on the scene and fiercely accuses her of making things ten times worse.

Robert reminds Chas that they need to act smart if they stand any chance of getting Gordon behind bars, so he orders her to stay away from now on.
Chas's antics later earn her a police warning when officers come calling at The Woolpack to punish her, but it's Aaron's reaction that hurts her the most when he arrives back from his break.
Heartbroken to discover that Chas has revealed his secret to all, Aaron feels betrayed by his mum and orders her to take back what she said by insisting that it didn't happen. Can Robert convince Aaron that it's too risky to backtrack now?

Lucy Pargeter on Danny Miller, the return of Chas's PTSD and her new Emmerdale love interest
The actress, who is nominated at this year's British Soap Awards, reveals all about life in the village
You take your life in your hands when you live in Emmerdale. Helicopters can fall out of the sky at any minute. Pubs explode at a second’s notice. But even by Chas Dingle’s high standards (she was famously, of course held hostage in the Woolpack Siege of 2013) it’s been an eventful 12 months. She was on the scene when Robert was shot, suffered with PTSD, knifed Diane and supported her son Aaron when she found out he’d been sexually abused as a child by his own father.
“Honestly, the things that get thrown at us. You’d move out of that village, wouldn’t you?” says Lucy Pargeter. “Thank God it’s just pretend. To be honest, I’m surprised Chas isn’t barricaded in at the Woolpack with 14 crates of wine on an intravenous drip. But it’s brilliant. It’s such a privilege to have this constant barrage of insanity handed to you.”
Pargeter’s reward for portraying Chas’s trauma is a nomination for Best Actress at this year’s British Soap Awards. Yet despite making the shortlist, she isn’t letting the acclaim go to her head. “I do think, ‘why me?’. Especially when I’m so in awe of the people I work with. So I am surprised. I just think that I’ve been supporting Danny Miller throughout Aaron’s storyline, really.”
But come on, I protest. What about the psychosis that Chas suffered? The breakdown in the woods? It’s not every day you get a knife-wielding pub landlady in a small Yorkshire idyll. “Yes, but the storylines come and go so quickly. And you end up forgetting. We do sometimes find that we can’t remember it all, just because of the amount of stuff that we’ve done. And I think the viewers do too.”
One particular scene that lingers long in the memory though is Aaron revealing the full details to Chas about Gordon’s predatory abuse. In all seriousness, it’s a moment that you instinctively know will feature a lot during awards season, such is the raw power of Miller and Pargeter’s performances. So it comes as quite a surprise to hear that they actually had to film it twice:
“We wanted to do it just the once because it was so harrowing. But the problem was that the stage directions said that Chas didn’t move over to Aaron until the very end of the scene. And after we’d filmed it, our director Mike Lacey asked why she hadn’t consoled Aaron earlier.
“There was Danny having this meltdown, but I felt like I had to honour the stage direction and stay seated, even though, as a mother, you’d have moved over as soon as he started talking. So we did do it again, which I felt absolutely awful about. But it worked much better the second time around.”
As for the future, it’s interesting to discover that Chas’s diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder is to be revisited, a rarity on soaps where the reset button can be pressed on a character all too quickly. “It’s good that it’s being mentioned again,”
Pargeter agrees. “In real life, these things don’t go away. And it did feel that, once she’d been diagnosed, it wasn’t being flagged up in the script as much as it could have been. Up until Gordon’s trial, you didn’t get the impression that she was getting treatment or that her suffering was still going on. Also, it does give me a bit more time in work!”
That ready laugh comes again, something I also hear when we get on to the topic of Chas’s love life. Recent reports suggested that a new romance was in the offing, but even Pargeter isn’t 100 per cent when it’s happening or who it’ll be with:
“It’s wicked whispers! I heard from somebody who’d got wind from somebody else,” she tries to explain, but I quickly lose the thread, “anyway, we don’t know if it’s true. I haven’t heard it from our producer’s mouth, but I’d be very happy if it happened.”
As for life away from Emmerdale, I remember that the last time we spoke, Pargeter was in the middle of some momentous house renovation that was taking up every spare minute she had away from the ITV Studios in Leeds. Even if Chas’s existence hasn’t become any less dramatic, surely Pargeter has now found some peace at home?
“It’s not finished, but we’re in! We moved a week before Christmas. But there’s still work to be done. But it’s good to have something so major happening outside of work, even if it means that you’re on the phone to builders or suppliers. I do strive on stress.”
Which is very fortunate, really. Portraying Chas’s whirlwind life, it’s not like she exactly has much of a choice!

Chas Dingle's Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) storyline will be revisited on Emmerdale.
Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas Dingle on the ITV soap, revealed that the programme would return to the storyline that first emerged last year.
"It's good that it's being mentioned again," Pargeter told Radio Times. "In real life, these things don't go away.
"And it did feel that, once she'd been diagnosed, it wasn't being flagged up in the script as much as it could have been.
"Up until Gordon's trial, you didn't get the impression that she was getting treatment or that her suffering was still going on. Also, it does give me a bit more time in work!"
Chas's PTSD diagnosis was revealed towards the end of 2015. It was triggered by Robert Sugden's shooting and years of pent-up stress.

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has revealed how her character Chas Dingle will be written out of the show.
The popular actress is taking time out from the Dales following the happy news that she's pregnant with twin girls.
Lucy's real-life joy means that Chas will be heading out of the village for a while and she'll be taking Liv Flaherty with her, as young actress Isobel Steele is doing her GCSEs this year.
This also means that Chas and Liv won't be around when Aaron Dingle finally gets released from prison in a few weeks' time.
Lucy explained: "Chas receives news from Liv's mum Sandra, who's had an accident over in Ireland.
"Chas is Liv's 'acting mother' while Aaron is in prison, so she decides to go to Ireland and takes Liv over to see her mum.
"It'll be me gone from the show for a while - but not too long! I'll be back soon."
Just before Chas goes, Emmerdale fans can look forward to an emotional heart-to-heart, as she finally gets a chance to rebuild her relationship with her mum Faith.
Debbie Dingle is responsible for getting the pair together when she tricks them into spending time in each other's company at Butler's Farm.

Chas and Faith pull no punches as they discuss the past, but just when it looks like they've finally made up, Faith suddenly pulls away when her daughter tries to hug her.
As Chas feels rejected once again, why did Faith pull away and is there any chance they can properly reconcile?
Lucy added: "Chas and Faith's relationship hasn't been good, really. They've been at loggerheads and Chas is determined that she isn't going to make things up with Faith. She'd much rather Faith went back to wherever she came from, even though everyone else is warming to her now.
"But next week, Debbie invites Chas up for lunch at the farm and she promises that Faith won't be there. Chas goes up with food and wine, thinking that they're going to have a lovely afternoon. On entering the farm, there Faith is!
"Debbie doesn't give them much of an opportunity to go anywhere. She forces them to sit down and have a chat."
Explaining why Chas is still so annoyed with Faith, Lucy added: "Everything stems from Chas's upbringing. Faith left them with Shadrach and disappeared, and I don't think her parenting skills were particularly brilliant when she was around!
"Unfortunately Chas also holds resentment towards Faith for things that aren't necessarily her fault. She pins all the mistakes that she's made with Aaron on Faith too, because she hasn't had anyone to show her how to be a good parent."

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has given birth to twin girls.
The star, who has been in the ITV soap for 15 years, welcomed the new arrivals last week with her partner Rudi Coleano.
The couple already have an 11-year-old daughter, Lola.
"Lucy Pargeter and Rudi Coleano are delighted to announce the birth of their twin girls who were born on Thursday April 13," an Emmerdale spokeswoman said.
"All are happy and healthy and Lola is delighted to have finally become a big sister."
Pargeter, 40, plays Chastity Dingle, who has been temporarily written out of the Yorkshire Dales-set show while she is on maternity leave.
Chas has been taking care of Liv Flaherty (Isobel Steele), her son Aaron's (Danny Miller) half-sister while he is in prison as her mother lives in Ireland.
She decided to take Liv to see her mother after she had an accident.
Pargeter said recently: "It'll be me gone for a while, but not too long, depending. I'll be back very soon.
"Fictionally, I'm in Ireland, having a lovely summer."

Emmerdale will be revisiting Paddy Kirk's relationship with Chas Dingle when she returns to the village later this year.
Chas is currently living away from the Dales, after Lucy Pargeter – who plays her – went on maternity leave, having given birth to twin girls.
However, producer Iain MacLeod has confirmed that the show will continue to explore Paddy and Chas's story as he decides to make a go of things with her upon her comeback.
Fans will remember that Chas and Paddy briefly attempted to rekindle their spark earlier in the year, but their relationship never really took off prior to her exit.
Since then, Paddy has been a pillar of support to his ex-wife Rhona Goskirk – who has faced a harrowing time after being raped by her husband Pierce Harris.
But even though Paddy will lay his heart on the line with Rhona next week, it doesn't look like a reunion between the former couple is on the cards as he'll be hoping to pick up where he left off with Chas when he sees her again.
"At the point where Chas returns, it seems that Rhona is not an option," Iain told TV Times.
"So the story then becomes, 'How do you pursue a new relationship when the woman you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with lives up the road and runs a business with you?'
"You'll just have to wait and see how this love story involving these three characters pans out."

No according to InsideSoap, they are setting up a Chas/Paddy/Rhonda love triangle.

Daz and Chas might work but she was married to Dan briefly
Does Chas know Ashley is dead?
chas could be sick, has she cancer gene like faith, who is dara her irish man?
There was an article a while ago that they were bringing in a son of Faith (so Chas's half brother) as the new hunk. Maybe Dara is him.
Would be typical soap if it turned out that either Debbie or Chas had been unknowingly involved in incest (I still haven't ruled out the possibility that Tom Waterhouse turns out to be him.)

that's NOT what what Emmerdale said ... in the Emmerdale Secrets Video interview with Iain MacLeod earlier this year he stated that they were bringing in someone connected to the Dingles in September and they stated that they COULD and I say COULD be connected with either Debbie Dingle or Faith Dingle ... they NEVER EVER stated about bringing in a brother.

Pregnant Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) gets an unpleasant diagnosis
Chas Dingle is set to get unfortunate news in coming weeks as her pregnancy sickness gets worse in Emmerdale – leading to a diagnosis of Hyperemesis Gravidarium. Recently, Chas has been overwhelmed by the constant nausea and Paddy Kirk has been unsure how to deal with it.
The couple are looking forward to welcoming their child and becoming a family but as Chas’ sickness seems to have no end in sight, Paddy is helpless and decides that he needs to get her to a doctor.
Paddy and Chas have been taking big steps in their relationship, as they agree to get engaged and also move in together. But that means Padster will have to step up and help Chas through her uncomfortable condition.
Hyperemesis Gravidarium is an illness of far more serious morning sickness with intense nausea, vomiting and other unpleasant symptoms. It tends to ease off in the later semester of pregnancy but this is not always the case.
It’s certainly not going to make things easy for Chas – or Paddy for that matter as we can’t imagine she will have much patience for his bumbling ways.
Can they prove to be a worthy team to get her through this?

Chas Dingle takes centre stage in dramatic and heartwarming scenes next week, as she goes into labour on the day of The Woolpack's grand reopening.
Chas gets trapped in the pub toilets with her cousin Marlon (Mark Charnock) at this life-changing moment, throwing her into a panic as she doesn't want to give birth without her partner Paddy Kirk by her side.
Here, Lucy Pargeter – who plays Chas – reveals all on the big episode.
Can you tell us about Chas's labour scenes?
"It is the opening of The Woolpack, which has been closed down for a while due to some dry rot. Charity has got stuck on the motorway somewhere because she's put the wrong fuel in her car, Paddy can't be located, and everyone's running around like headless chickens.
"Chas should be on maternity leave, but of course she's the one trying to get everything up and running. She's questioning Marlon because she can't find Paddy and he runs off into the men's loos to avoid her.
"Chas follows him and unbeknown to him, there's something wrong with the door and they can't get out. Initially they're joking around, then her waters go and they're stuck. She's a bit afraid because she's been having pains but she thought it was all stress.
"Paddy's not there with her. She really wanted Paddy to be there and she also wanted to be in a hospital because of what happened with Grace. It looks like she's going to be stuck there with Marlon who's not the biggest help in the world. He's slightly panicking himself, so it's not the best situation and things progress quite quickly."
Is Marlon a good birthing partner?
"He starts off a bit flaky and panicky as any man would be, but as time goes on, Marlon realises people are on the other side of the door as well. It gives him strength and he does what a cousin would do.
"He loves Chas and they've got a great relationship. He gets it in his head that he's there for her, they can do it and he's a calming influence on her."
How have Chas and Paddy been feeling in the run-up to the birth?
"Fine, really. They haven't really had much focus on the birth, apart from Paddy wanting to go to ante-natal classes. Chas very much didn't want to, only because of the questions she might be asked by the other mums. She feels like she'll have to bring up what happened to Grace. She's a bit dubious of it.
"She's given birth to Grace before and doesn't want to relive it in that sort of room with people around her. But Paddy and Chas have been absolutely fine. There hasn't been much scare-mongering, just anticipation knowing that it's going to happen."
With everything that has been going on with Robert, how worried is Chas about Aaron at this stage?
"She's worried about his state of mind. She's worried about what could happen to Aaron, as in his self harming or his depression or going off the rails. That's always in the background.
"She has offered her help, she's tried to be strong and said: 'Right, get over him, you need to move forward and try to be there for him'. So she's quite concerned about his mental state."
What sort of a mum do you think Chas will be to the baby?
"A little more fearful, more wanting her baby monitor next to her constantly and maybe a movement pad underneath and a breathing thing on her and I think she will be by her side every minute that she can.
"She's starting back to work straight away so the baby will be with her behind the bar. Like any mum, that paranoia of 'I've got to keep looking at her and waking her up and checking on her', but they know that there's nothing physically wrong with the baby.
"She's going to be slightly more paranoid but hopefully as the months go on, they'll settle in to parenthood and things will calm down a bit."
Do you think Paddy and Chas's relationship has been affected by Mandy's latest return?
"Mandy has turned up, but she and Chas are getting on okay. From the very beginning, Chas said: 'You look at him the wrong way and I'll rip your head off and spit down your neck'. I love that line! She's set her stall out and when Mandy went to the ante-natal class with Paddy, Chas didn't really get angry.
"Mandy's always going to be there in the background, but I don't think Chas feels threatened by her at this point because they're starting afresh and are just about to have this baby.
"Everything that happened last year is hopefully going to be made more palatable by the arrival of this new baby and hopefully can only make them stronger."
What has it been like working with Lisa?
"Lisa's been amazing. She's obsessed with the show, as in she's watching it and she knows what's happening. She's professional, she turns up and not only knows her lines, she knows everybody else's lines. She's brilliant on set, she's got loads of energy.
"Dominic said before she's started 'you two are either get on like a house on fire or absolutely hate each other' and thankfully we get on really well. I think she's brilliant. She's hilarious and she's just full of energy and excitement."

Emmerdale has confirmed that Chas Dingle and Al Chapman will be drawn back together again next week.
Chas turns to Al for comfort as she struggles with the news that her mum Faith is terminally ill.
Upcoming episodes see Chas confide in Al a few days after Faith has shared the truth about her cancer.
Al tries his best to comfort Chas and also opens up about some of his own family issues.
Meanwhile, Chas's husband Paddy is struggling over how best to support her at this difficult time.
Paddy messes up by bringing home hospice flyers for Faith, which is the last thing Chas wanted to see while she's still processing everything.
Chas takes her frustrations over Paddy's behaviour out on Al, who suggests that she has taken her husband's gesture the wrong way.
When Al offers to be a friend to Chas, she starts to back down from the row.
Later, Chas admits to Al that she'd like to forget everything that's happening for a while.
They bond over a bottle of wine and stories of Faith, before the inevitable happens as they share a passionate kiss.
Is this another one-off or the start of an affair?
Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas, told Digital Spy and other media: "This is just a kiss, an outpouring of everything, a release, something that just goes somewhere that is completely unexpected, really.
"Even though they have that connection and they've had that connection and frisson before, it's just something that happens. I don't think it's worth ruining a marriage over a kiss that happened in circumstances where they were feeding each other's need for support at that period of time.
"Chas just takes it that step too far, but it's definitely not worth ruining a marriage over this kind of glitch in the matrix."
Well, not had anyone cheating on their partner recently ... :angry:

Chas is ready to put Al in the past and is feeling more appreciative of her family than ever before. Grateful for Paddy?s endless support, she?s privately ashamed that she came close to leaving him.
But trouble is brewing, what with Chloe telling Belle that Al took someone out to dinner on the night Faith died. With the penny dropping, Belle realises that Chas never ended her affair. And after being confronted, Chas finds herself unable to deny the truth when Belle starts firing questions.
Belle?s suspicion that this is also the reason why Cain killed Al leaves Chas manic with fear that Belle will tell the family. And soon enough, Belle will be seen putting Moira in the picture about what she knows. With Chas now preparing for a trip away with Paddy, will she be able to get out of the village before a furious Moira wades in?

Speaking to Digital Spy and other media, Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw teased a "huge" storyline to come, which could "maybe" bring Chas and Aaron "back together".
"There?s a huge story coming up for Chas in the new year that?s going to be shocking for all her family and friends and villagers around her," she said.
"We know that her and Aaron have got quite a strained relationship at the moment and Aaron?s really pushing his mum away.
"This could be the story that maybe brings those two back together and bonds mother and son again. That?s all for us to find out in the new year," Shaw added.

I have read that a breast cancer scare for Chas is an upcoming storyline
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a46337479/emmerdale-chas-dingle-liam-cavanagh-plea/
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle will receive a plea from Liam Cavanagh next week, as her breast cancer storyline begins.
The soap announced the character's devastating diagnosis earlier this week, following her mother Faith's tragic cancer story.
In upcoming scenes, Chas is forced to hide during a passionate embrace with Liam, when Paddy, Mandy and Eve unexpectedly arrive home.
Chas manages to remain out of sight, with Liam admitting to a suspicious Mandy that there is a woman in the house. He lies and says it's no one they'd know.
Before she leaves, Chas is taken aback when the village doctor confesses he felt a lump in her breast. Chas rushes to leave so she won't be seen, before breaking down when she gets outside.
The next day, Chas begins to worry about the lump. Meanwhile, Liam accidentally admits to Mandy and Paddy that he slept with Chas the day before.
When she finds out he spilled their secret, Chas goes to confront Liam ? anxious that he might have also shared news of the lump.
When she finds him, Liam reassures her but worries when Chas deflects from talking about the lump. He pleads with her to go to the GP and get it checked out.
Emmerdale is working with Breast Cancer Now for the upcoming storyline. Producer Kate Brooks explained the importance of the story, saying: "We approached Breast Cancer Now as we wanted to depict this story in the most authentic way possible.
"Any light we can shed on this disease and encourage and remind people to routinely check their breasts can hopefully help lead to more positive outcomes."
Chas actress Lucy Pargeter added: "I hope we can do it justice. It won't be all doom and gloom, there will be ups and downs just like with anything. But I hope it looks and feels real. And if just a few people get help for breast changes that do not feel or look right, it could do some good too."

Emmerdale is set to air emotional scenes next week as Chas Dingle receives her cancer diagnosis.
The ITV soap recently announced a breast cancer storyline for Chas, which will prove especially devastating given her mother's tragic cancer story.
The plotline begins as Chas is having a fling with village doctor Liam Cavanagh, though he notices a lump in her breast and urges her to make an immediate appointment with her GP.
In follow-on scenes set to air next Monday (January 22), Chas gets a call that confirms her hospital appointment that afternoon, and asks Liam to accompany her ? leaving him pleased to be the chosen person to support her.
During the appointment, Chas receives the difficult news that she has triple negative cancer.
She later vents to Liam about her diagnosis back home, and it becomes clear to him that she is struggling despite trying to put on a brave face. Chas tells Liam to leave her to herself, and once he is gone she breaks down and cries.
The following day, Paddy notices something is wrong with Chas as he drops off Eve, but she covers for herself. Lydia also picks up that something is wrong, leading Chas to reveal her cancer diagnosis.
Liam overhears from the Woolpack corridor, and while he's happy to hear her opening up, he is also sad that he is no longer Chas's only confidant.
The day afterwards, Chas begins to research more information on her cancer diagnosis on her phone.
Speaking recently about the storyline, Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks said: "When this story was first pitched, we were acutely aware how important it was to explore this.
"With Chas's family history of breast cancer and Chas being such a strong character, and in many ways the bedrock of the Dingles, we wanted to show the impact on not just her, but her immediate family.
"With Lucy Pargeter's innate ability to showcase Chas's vulnerabilities beneath her hardened exterior, we knew she was absolutely the right character to play this with."
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/emmerdale/a46855113/emmerdale-spoilers-aaron-cain-caleb-cancer-risk/
Emmerdale's Chas Dingle encourages three of her close family members to book genetic tests next week after receiving some news about her illness.
Chas has been taking a break from the village following the news that she has breast cancer, but she'll return home in the coming days as the next chapter of the storyline begins.
In new scenes, Chas tells her family that the cause of her cancer is the faulty BRCA2 gene.
Chas explains to her brothers Cain and Caleb and her son Aaron that there's a high likelihood they could have the faulty gene too. Cain and Caleb also learn that they could have passed it onto their children.
Looking for a distraction, Chas prepares to go and visit Mandy to celebrate her birthday.
Before Chas leaves, she notices Aaron's hesitant reaction and encourages him to make an appointment for his gene test referral.
Aaron remains uneasy and evasive as he feels pressured by Chas, but will he go ahead and make the appointment?
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are examples of genes which can raise a person's cancer risk if they become altered.
A woman who has a variant BRCA gene has an increased chance of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
The variant genes also increase a man's chance of developing male breast cancer and prostate cancer.
A genetic test can confirm whether a person has inherited one of the cancer risk genes. After a blood test is taken, the results usually arrive within two to four weeks.
Emmerdale announced Chas' breast cancer storyline last month.
Lucy Pargeter, who plays Chas, said at the time: "When the producers first discussed this storyline with me I knew I didn't want us to shy away from any aspect of this diagnosis for Chas.
"She saw her own mother ultimately die after an incurable breast cancer diagnosis, so for Chas to receive a breast cancer diagnosis herself, makes it all the more poignant. Our audience knows her so well, they have seen her relationships, know her faults, her passions, her insecurities, quirks and fears.
"So for them to see this story play out will be more meaningful given everything that has happened to both her and her mother. I think this is the beauty of our genre 'Soap'. However, I am more than aware of the huge responsibility with us telling this story.
"I hope we can do it justice. It won't be all doom and gloom, there will be ups and downs just like with anything. But I hope it looks and feels real. And if just a few people get help for breast changes that do not feel or look right, it could do some good too."
Emmerdale has worked with Breast Cancer Now on Chas's storyline. In addition to its website, Breast Cancer Now's helpline (0808 800 6000) is open 9am-4pm Monday to Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturday.
More information or support about living with breast cancer or treatment is available from organisations includingMacmillan Cancer Support, Coppafeel!, Cancer Research UK and Stand Up to Cancer.

This episode was very well done. Aside from a Million Little Things, I don't know of shows depicting male breast cancer. I expected each man to worry about his daughters, but not about themselves, so I'm glad that they went there. I really enjoy Chas.
