It’s impossible to miss the numerous changes taking place at Emmerdale. A number of characters have recently departed the show, and two—Rishi Sharma and Victor Anderson—suddenly passed away.
Even producer Jane Hudson is laying up her narrative conjuring pen after five award-winning years, which is unusual in a soap opera but happening quickly in the Dales.
But don’t forget that there are other well-known characters returning to the hamlet, and both are sure to be involved in a major plotline that will reach its climax during the so-called ITV Super Soap Week.
Recently, actor Charity Dingle’s involvement in the unquestionably stunning episodes was revealed by actress Emma Atkins, as her conflict with love rival Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) intensifies.
Don’t mess with Charity – like we didn’t know, was the main message.
Chloe is obviously upset for her own reasons. She is establishing a life with Mack Boyd (Lawrence Robb), the father of little Reuben.
Despite having just cheated on her, Mr. Toxic then cheated on the other cheater with his ex.
Holding on?
Yes, Chloe was unaware that Mack and Charity had slept together again, ruining her hopes for a happy family life.
Filming recently took place at a quarry that could be quite dangerous, with Chloe inside a car that flew over the edge.
It appears that a further escape will take place under harsh conditions.
The returnees, then.
Kerry Wyatt and Vanessa Woodfield, played by Laura Norton and Michelle Hardwick, respectively, have both been on maternity leaves but will, it has been revealed, return to their respective roles.
Both have a significant stake in the Charity/Chloe/Mack saga. Kerry broke the shocking news that she is Chloe’s mother just before leaving.
It seems like a curious choice given the subsequent course of the plot, especially since it hasn’t been brought up subsequently.
But if Chloe passes away, Kerry would have some juicy drama to sink her teeth into. If she lives, it would offer them a chance to explore their connection, and Kerry could have to take care of the mess and hold Mack and/or Charity accountable in a very Kerry fashion.
Vanessa and Charity will always be connected, despite Emmerdale’s best efforts to make us forget about it.
We will both be astonished and feel a little badly done by if Mack and Charity are able to make it through this and emerge as love’s dream.
In either case, Vanessa’s return to the community will at least cause some emotions and complication.
What will she make of everything that has occurred without her? A much to take in, nonetheless.
Whatever transpires, it’s good for Emmerdale to welcome back familiar figures from the past, especially with important characters yet to go and the recent losses of Dan, Marshall, and Naomi.
After over two decades as David Metcalfe on the programme, Matthew Wolfenden will also be saying farewell, and famous Bernice Blackstock will be leaving the role of Bernice Blackstock once more.
As we wait for the confirmation of the new show leader, there is a good likelihood that further changes may occur as they leave their stamp.
