Emmerdale's Mackenzie Boyd looks set to become torn in another love triangle between current flame Chloe Harris and ex Charity Dingle, after he slept with the latter character in a recent episode.
Viewers of the ITV soap know that Mack is now with Chloe, the mother of his son Reuben, after a recent fling scandal in the village. Until a few months ago, Charity and Mack were happily married – while he was hiding something huge. Mack had slept with Chloe the previous summer and she fell pregnant with his child. Chloe welcomed baby son Reuben in April, and then a major health scare led to Charity learning her husband was the father.
While Mack is now with Chloe, Wednesday's episode saw him sleep with Charity – with it not yet known if she will spill the beans about their moment of passion ahead of Reuben's christening. But it seems the love drama will only continue ahead of big scenes later in the year.
It's been teased a love triangle will continue towards the end of the year, possibly into 2024. It's also been hinted Mack and Charity could take centre stage during the soap's annual super soap week in October. Now, it's claimed Mack and Charity have "unfinished business" that could cost Mack his romance with Chloe, as well as a relationship with his baby son. A source told TV Times magazine: "There is unfinished business between Charity and Mackenzie.

It comes as Emmerdale fans think they have rumbled the upcoming super soap week plot and have "figured out" a huge DNA twist amid the Charity, Mackenzie and Chloe love triangle. Only recently, Charity star Emma Atkins confirmed her character will be at the "centre" of the super soap week, as well as Mackenzie and Chloe.
Viewers will recall that every year in October the show pulls out all the stops to deliver nail-biting storylines and stunts set across the week. The most recent super stunt week included the deadly 50th anniversary storm, where several villagers lost their lives. Soap watchers have since been speculating what the theme for October 2023 could be with many thinking it could be a huge DNA twist and that Mackenzie isn't actually the father of Chloe's baby.
Taking to social media, one person said: "Charity is not a girl to be messed with. Still don't think Macs the father.Why hasn't anyone done a DNA test", a different account put: "Charity will have the last laugh" while another added: "Chloe has been annoying me for ages, why doesn’t Mack get a DNA test, pretty sure the baby isn’t his. She is very dodgy."
It comes as Charity star Emma teased about the upcoming super soap week to Digital Spy: "I'm very excited! Some super soap weeks I don't manage to be part of, which is just the way it goes. So to be at the centre and for it to be quite a big storm brewing – not literally a storm, we've done that! I just know that it's going to be spectacular in one way or another and we're due to get the scripts shortly, but it's going to be quite big."
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
