Emmerdale fans were left disappointed during the latest trip to the village as Mackenzie Boyd cheated on girlfriend Charity Dingle. The ITV soap couple were left heartbroken last month when they discovered Charity was suffering an eptopic pregnancy.
After initially planning an abortion, Charity soon came round to the idea of being a mum again and Mack couldn't hide his delight at becoming a first-time dad. But in emotional scenes, he rushed Charity to hospital, who was doubled over in pain, where she was told her pregnancy wasn't viable.
Since then, the couple have muddled on but with Charity hiding her feelings, Mack has grown frustrated and has been sharing his concerns with his sister, Moira Barton.

In a bid to get his partner to open up, Mack booked a wellness day with Belle Dingle at The Hop, not realising what it really entailed. And it's fair to say Charity wasn't impressed. They went along anyway but made an early exit.
Alone in the woods, Mack made a move on Charity who quickly recoiled. And when he suggested they try for another baby, Charity lost it. She told him it wasn't what she wanted and that she might not even fall pregnant again. But Mack didn't listen and even suggested they looked into IVF.
"If you wanna be a dad someday it is not gonna be with me, so if you are that desperate to have a sprog you are gonna have to find somebody else," Charity fumed and Mack stormed off. He returned to The Hide where he bumped into Moira and told him how cruel Charity had been.
As she tried to reason with him, he stomped off and said he was going into town to get drunk. After Charity emotionally opened up to Moira, she headed home to find Mack nowhere to be seen. She then left him a voice message imploring him to come home.
But just before Thursday's hour-long episode came to an end seen in bed with another woman. As he checked his phone and saw the missed calls from Charity, he smirked when the mystery lady knocked his phone out of his hand, before getting cosy under the sheets again.
And while they didn't get a glimpse at who Mack was with, Emmerdale fans think it could be a 'missing' character. @ifeelflames tweeted: "God knows who Mac has copped off with. Probably Chloe as we actually saw her face tonight. It better not be Belle after she’s JUST told Chas how awful cheating is #Emmerdale."
@penniless_poet said: "I think it's Chloe in bed with Mack, mainly cos the character has been on a back burner since the Noah storyline #Emmerdale." @TVMusings22 shared: "Well that’s obviously Chloe isn’t it - Lawrence and Jessie gave it away weeks back! #emmerdale."
But as some suggested it could be Belle, @Noahsmummy2017 commented: "Won't be the Belle the lecture she's given Chas for cheating. My bet Chloe #emmerdale." @maxted_jo shared: "The only person macks fancy bird can be is Chloe surely? After Belle had a go at Chas,she wouldn't go and do the same thing."
