no Charity has to be the queen bitch in control - thats where the character excels?
Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey will persuade her daughter Debbie Dingle to cover for her next week as her abortion lie looks set to be exposed.
Megan (Gaynor Faye) is left stunned when she finally learns that Charity (Emma Atkins) had a termination earlier in the year, rather than suffering a miscarriage as she has been claiming.
With her son Robbie firmly on board, the pair then attempt to persuade Declan (Jason Merrells) that Charity has been lying to him all this time.
Although Declan initially appears reluctant to believe them, their talk starts to unnerve him and he makes a call to his solicitor, enquiring about their pre-nup agreement.
Later, he sends Charity into a panic when he asks her to accompany him to the abortion clinic to prove she didn't terminate their unborn baby.

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

Will Debbie cover for Charity?
Emmerdale airs these scenes next week on ITV.
Saw that coming, Debbie lying for her mother. Pete will find out somehow and then what? Debbie should come clean and drop Charity right in it. And the whole truth should come out about the fire and Declan and Cherity go to prison.
Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has told Digital Spy that she is looking forward to the moment that her character Charity Macey finally gets her comeuppance.
Charity comes dangerously close to having her deception exposed in tonight's tense double bill of episodes (September 4) as her arch-nemesis Megan (Gaynor Faye) discovers that she lied about suffering a miscarriage.
Megan's son Robbie (Jamie Shelton) uncovers the secret when he spots an abortion clinic among the previously-stored addresses on Charity's sat-nav system.
Although Charity's husband Declan (Jason Merrells) is reluctant to believe the worst of her, the game could be up as Megan and Robbie become determined to secure further proof.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the storyline, Atkins explained: "I absolutely love playing Charity when she's at her worst, because that's when she's at her best - but obviously that comes with consequences.
"Charity is building lie upon lie, and that obviously has to come out at some point. As an actress, I know that will eventually unveil itself, so it's exciting because I know the writers have a lot more in store for me to play. I feel very lucky that they have given me that opportunity."
Discussing whether Charity can be redeemed, she continued: "A lot of the things that Charity does seem quite evil, but in the past she's always managed to redeem herself again in the eyes of her family.
"She's quite a shameless woman with no scruples, as she's willing to betray and hurt people to get her own way. It's not a particularly good way to live your life, but somehow she manages to redeem herself.
"I think the writers have Charity behave badly, but then they drop her to the very bottom so she has to work her way back up again and gain people's trusts back. Whether she can do that this time, I don't know."
With Charity aware that Megan will stop at nothing to destroy her, she even begs her daughter Debbie (Charley Webb) to cover for her by claiming that she was the one who had the termination.
Atkins continued: "Charity is onto the fact that Megan is now digging for dirt on her. She's mortified when the sat-nav situation first crops up, so she gets herself into quite a state of desperation.
"The awful thing is that she's got to a point of no return, so it doesn't matter who she's going to hurt next. As far as she's concerned, she's just got to stop Declan from finding out, or otherwise her life and her marriage are over.
"Even betraying Debbie now is of no great importance to her. That's what is so awful about Charity - she is beyond caring at that point. She'll deal with that when it needs to be dealt with, but she's deluded and I think she even begins to believe her own lies!"
Emmerdale continues tonight (September 4) at 7pm and 8pm on ITV.
So if Charity claims that it was Debbie who had a termination, then who would the Father be as Debbie wasn`t even dating anyone at the time.
Hurry up Karma.... it`s long overdue for Charity. :thumbsup:
love her or hate her charity is a great character excellently played by emma who always comes out on top :p
Emma Atkins has spoken to Digital Spy about filming this week's dramatic episodes, admitting that they were "unpleasant" but "brilliant" to work on.
The actress's character Charity Macey looks set to face a terrifying ordeal over the next few days, as her vengeful husband Declan (Jason Merrells) plans to kill her while they are on holiday at a remote cottage.
Declan has already tried to poison Charity after discovering that she secretly aborted their baby and then lied about suffering a miscarriage.
Atkins told Digital Spy of this week's storyline: "It's been fun and intense to film. At times it's been horrible and quite unpleasant, but also brilliant. We've had to go to places that aren't particularly pleasant in one's emotional state of mind, but it's been necessary for the journey that Charity and Declan have both gone on.
"It's been an arduous task and a brilliant one, but I was screwed after one of the filming days in particular - I was ready for a bath and bed! But it was so rewarding at the same time.
"We've filmed most of it in chronological order, which has been an absolute godsend. It's quite a minefield of madness when you know that you've got to film all of these emotions, so for it to be in chronological order helps us enormously."
The dramatic events surrounding Charity and Declan follow a year of bad behaviour from both of them, but it seems that they are about to get their comeuppance in one way or another.
Discussing the viewer response to Charity's antics, Atkins explained: "I get a lot of comments about Charity betraying Sam, and how could you ever do that to your own family? But the beauty of this story is that the audience will get to see Charity's comeuppance.
"From a moral point of view, she's got to have that - there's got to be a judgement day for what she did. She did a hell of a big thing by sending Jai's child away, but she did it because she was hell-bent on vengeance because he'd had his sordid one-night stand with Rachel on the factory floor.
"Sam ended up in the firing line and she absolutely destroyed his happiness to get the money for the Home Farm fire. There's got to be a comeuppance for that."
Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey faces further turmoil next week as she becomes fearful that her unstable husband Declan will make a shock return.
Charity (Emma Atkins) narrowly escaped with her life this week when Declan (Jason Merrells) lured her away to a remote cottage and tried to kill her, wanting revenge following her lies and betrayal.
The explosive week of episodes led to Declan and Robbie Lawson both plunging into a lake following a violent showdown for the Maceys, but only Robbie's dead body was recovered from the water in the aftermath.
With Declan's sister Megan convinced that he is still alive, Charity is left terrified and she fears that he could turn up at any moment to get his final revenge.
Feeling unsafe at Home Farm, Charity decides that she needs some protection and it's Sam Dingle who comes to her aid as he becomes her guard at the mansion.
Sam insists that he owes Charity because of how often she has helped him. However, Charity is wracked with guilt as she knows that she doesn't deserve Sam's help after destroying his happiness with Rachel Breckle at the start of the year.
An Emmerdale source told Digital Spy: "As Megan grieves for Robbie, Charity's main concern is Declan and the possibility that he could come back. Should she be worried?"
Emmerdale airs these scenes on Monday (September 29) at 7pm on ITV.
Really hope he does
So do I ...
Declan will be bricking it against Sam :p
Emmerdale schemer Charity Macey continues to face the consequences of her actions next week as her full collection of lies are finally exposed.
Charity (Emma Atkins) has already experienced a horrendous ordeal this month, as her deranged husband Declan recently tried to kill her on a countryside holiday. Since then, her vengeful sister-in-law Megan has also revealed her miscarriage lies in the village.
Despite the recent turbulent events, Charity looks set to get the last laugh next week as the police call off the search for Declan, convinced that he didn't survive the Maceys' violent showdown at the lake.
This means that Charity looks set to inherit the Home Farm estate, allowing her to profit greatly from Declan's apparent demise.
Unfortunately for Charity, there is even more turmoil ahead for her as next week's episodes see the rest of her lies exposed.

Charity has more trouble ahead
While Emmerdale bosses are keeping quiet about how the truth comes out, Charity will be cast out by her family once they know how low she has stooped this year.
An Emmerdale source told Digital Spy: "Charity certainly faced some terrifying times in the cottage week, but a lot of her misdeeds remained unpunished. That all begins to change next week as her lies catch up with her."
except of course she cannot inheirit until Declan is offically recognised as dead, which I believe is after seven years
see how accurate the writers are
I wonder if Charity will learn of Sam's debts and give him money to ease her guilt?
the problem here with the sock is that in theory it will have contained DNA
the sock would have had skin cells in it from being pulled on and off
however, how can James be 100% sure that Adam was the last and the only one to wear the sock? without that sample providence the test is flawed and rubbish
Emmerdale marks its 42nd birthday and 7,000th episode with another explosive storyline next week as scheming Charity Macey is attacked and held captive in a shipping container.
The shock incident unfolds after Charity decides to flee from the village for a while, feeling like an outcast after her lies are finally exposed.
With everyone assuming that Charity is lying low away from the village, nobody has any idea of the terrible danger that she is in. To make matters worse, Charity's captor later has a shocking accident of their own and is no longer able to provide her with basic supplies. Could this be the end of Charity?
Here, Emma Atkins - who plays Charity - reveals all the gossip on another unmissable week for her character.
Does Charity really believe that Declan is dead?
"Charity assumes that she's killed Declan, but it starts to become apparent following a few visits from Megan that he's possibly not dead at all. When the news came through that a body had been found, Charity secretly hoped that it would be Declan's. The fact that it was Robbie's was another blow for Charity because Declan could still be alive.
"It's quite terrifying for Charity to still be there at Home Farm now. If Declan is still at large, he's going to want to finish the job - so an element of paranoia starts to seep into Charity's world. It's just beginning to dawn on her that she's not as safe as she had hoped."
Charity's lies are exposed this week, including how she manipulated Rachel into leaving with baby Archie. How does everybody respond to that?
"People now realise how disloyal and fraudulent Charity has been with the insurance scam and the Home Farm fire. As soon as they find out, they confront her and there's the most almighty row up at Home Farm between Charity and the Dingles. It's Charity versus her own family and Jai.
"They're all so angry that Charity has cheated them of the truth for so long. She is completely and utterly ostracised by her family - more than she ever has been before. They all pretty much wash their hands of Charity and tell her that she's on her own now. That's a horrible state of affairs for Charity."
Does it affect the wider village too?
"Yes, the whole village practically disowns Charity because she has done so many awful things, so I think the audience will be pleased that she is going to get her comeuppance and finally she will be brought to justice for what she's done.
"I'm also pleased with that as an actress, because when you're representing that sort of character, there's always got to be a judgement day. It's great that will play out now."
The shock arrival of a DVD also causes big problems, doesn't it?
"Yes, suddenly this DVD presents itself. The first Charity knows of it is at Home Farm when her solicitor comes in and says, 'I think you need to watch this!' Charity sits down, prepares herself, watches it and sees Declan sat there on the screen. Declan admits that he is responsible for a lot of bad things, but the woman behind it all was the worst perpetrator of all - his wife Charity Macey!
"Charity is gobsmacked. It's quite funny and I think the audience will love it. As the DVD has been sent to the police and the insurers, Charity says, 'What can you do to get me off? As far as I'm concerned, it was a lot more 50/50 than he's letting on!'
"But then the solicitor points out that Charity has just admitted her guilt and he can't possibly represent her now. Charity is absolutely furious because she's let the cat out of the bag without meaning to."
What does Charity do next?
"It's looking likely that Charity will be destitute, so she decides to cut her losses and leave the village for a while. Charity's main concern is Noah, so she goes to see the Dingles in the pub. She says that she's going to go away, but she's scared of taking Noah with her because of the possible danger. Debbie says that she's still ostracising Charity, but she will never turn her back on Noah and agrees to look after him.
"Charity then takes some money from the safe at Home Farm. Megan and Jai turn up as they want the truth about where Archie is, but obviously Charity doesn't have a clue. This is the bad thing - it pulls out so many skeletons from Charity's closet but she genuinely doesn't have the answers to help anyone out. It's not like she can turn around and reveal where Archie is. She's created world war three really!"
What can you tell us about the attack on Charity?
"After leaving the village, Charity is driving along a dirt track and there's a car further down the road facing the opposite way with all of the doors open and the lights on. Charity wonders what this inconvenience is, so she gets out of the car. As she goes nearer to investigate, she is greeted by a huge knock on the back of the head. Later she wakes up in a shipping container."
What were those scenes like to film?
"It was incredible and a real challenge. We filmed it over two or three days and it was hard work, actually. It was more mentally challenging than it was physical, because it's so dark and Charity has no idea where she is at first. She's chained at one ankle so she can move around slightly.
"Whoever's left Charity in there has left just a bucket for her to relieve herself. There's also a bottle of water as whoever has got her there turns up and throws it at her! Charity realises that whoever has got her there is not messing around - it's serious."
Does Charity think it's Declan?
"Yes, Charity is terrified that it's Declan. What she went through at the cottage has made her realise that Declan is absolutely dead set on finishing her off. Charity thinks that it's game over - it's the end of the road and she's going to die. It's terrifying for her. She's screaming out to Declan as she hears noises and assumes it's him but there's no answer. She's being completely terrorised."
Did you put yourself in that frame of mind?
"Yeah, I tried to as much as I could. You want to take yourself to the most truthful situation you can, to be able to act with a sense of authenticity. Obviously I knew that I wasn't really locked in a shipping container, so you've just got to let your imagination take over.
"In between takes, the first assistant director would offer to unchain me so that I could go for a walk, but I decided that it would be more fitting if I stayed where I was. The more uncomfortable I felt, the more I felt like I was really in that situation."
To make matters worse, Charity's captor later has a shock accident of their own and nobody else knows where she is…
"Yes, but Charity doesn't know that! She thinks that she's been left for dead and her time's up. The little bottle of water that was thrown in is only going to last for a short time. There's no more thrown in, so Charity starts to lose a sense of normality. She starts to go a little bit off the wall."
Do you think the audience will be sympathetic towards Charity?
"It all depends, because I'm sure you've got people who dislike the character immensely. They'll think that it's about time and hope she dies. But I think there'll be a lot of people who possibly have watched the whole journey Charity has gone on, have seen that she makes mistakes and hope that she'll learn her lesson.
"Then you'll have your ardent Charity fans who love her and think that it's all so unfair! I think there'll be a real mixture and that's great - you can't have everyone loving your character and you can't have everyone hating your character. People do keep coming up to me and saying, 'Oh, when is Charity going to get her comeuppance?' It's good that people are saying that and this is definitely it."
How does this storyline compare to the cottage week?
"In terms of filming, they were both extremely challenging in their own right, however, I think the journey Charity has been on in the cottage and everything afterwards only heightens and intensifies what goes on in the shipping container. We can't forget that Declan dug a grave and dragged Charity to it, so she knows how far he's willing to go to get rid of her. It's just so terrifying!"
A new Emmerdale trailer has been released, showing Charity Macey (Emma Atkins) having another very bad week.
The video shows the aftermath of Declan Macey (Jason Merrells) gathering Charity's family together at gunpoint and exposing all of her secrets, which leads to someone taking revenge against her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qO6O6l5ZiU
The dramatic storyline has seen Charity's recent bad decisions exposed to all of her family and friends, who have turned against her. Recent secrets - the Home Farm fire, the insurance scam and Rachel Breckle's departure with baby Archie - have shocked everyone.
Now that all of her secrets have been revealed, Charity decides to leave the village to get away from all those she has lied to, but before she can leave, she's attacked and held captive in a shipping container.
With everyone in the village believing she has left, nobody is looking for her.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
So who do you think is responsible for Charity waking up in the container?
Sam? Jai? Declan? Megan? Debbie? Chas?
Anyone else?

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

Ali was wearing a dark hoodie when she stormed out the cafe looking for Charity. From the footage though, the attacker was confident scaling the wall so not like clumsy Sam. Also looked flat chested so male.
Its not Declan, the hodded figure didnt have his build.
It was ali she had a dark coloured hoodie on when she spoke to ruby. Definetly not a bloke
I do not understand the purpose of the charity character? She is a whore, a trouble maker, a gold digger and she is mean to everyone in the village. Even Charity's daughter Debbie doesn't really like her. I think Chas is perhaps her only friend in the village. I really thought the writers were going to kill Charity off when Declan went after her this summer. Don't the writers know Charity is NOT popular with the fans?
I soooo agree with you Serena, I can't stand Charity either and that would have been the perfect ending to the whole Declan saga. If they are going to keep her on this show, I think she should have a relationship with Rakesh, and hopefully that would get rid of Priya who I cant stand more then Charity. I think Charity & Rakesh would make a very ruthless couple. Before both head off into the sunset. JMO LOL
PS: I hope the writers read all this hehehe
