Spoilers for Emmerdale: Mack is relieved to live after making a serious error, but not for long

In Emmerdale, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) bounces around from woman to woman like a human shuttlecock because he can’t decide if he wants to be with Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) or Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland).

There seemed to be no turning back for the couple after Charity’s life fell apart upon learning that Mackenzie, whom she had just married, was the father of Chloe Harris’s child, Reuben.

Mack promised Chloe his future because he wanted to start a family for Reuben, and she was thrilled that he was committing to her and her kid.

That dedication didn’t last very long since, as we saw last week, Mackenzie was powerless against Charity’s allure. After Mack visited Charity to talk about Reuben’s christening, the two slept together, giving Charity hope that a reunion was imminent.

Apparently reinforcing his commitment to leave Charity behind him, Mackenzie informed Chloe he loves her during the christening service. Charity had the potential to ruin this by telling Chloe exactly what happened when Mackenzie visited her, but she ultimately made the decision not to do that.

In upcoming episodes, Mack will be acutely conscious of the fact that he put everything on the line by sleeping with Charity and will be thankful that he appears to have come out of it uninjured.

However, has he? We know there will be at least one more major twist in this story even as Charity tries to move on by dating the first man to enter the Woolpack (his name is Liam and yes, he is afraid).

The Charity/Mack/Chloe love triangle will be one of the major plotlines during what has come to be known as Super Soap Week in October, according to show creator Jane Hudson.

If there is ever a plot to blow up around that time, Charity will be involved in a love triangle, she exclaimed. “I would keep an eye on this space for a few more months.”

Additionally, it appears like Mackenzie would be wise to watch his back. No one can stand up to Charity Dingle’s wrath.
