Charity and Mack are on the rocks in Emmerdale spoilers

Charity’s decision to act as a surrogate for Sarah has put a huge strain on her marriage to Mack. Not only was Mack one of the last to find out what his wife had chosen to do, he wasn’t even consulted first.

Mack’s also hurt by the fact Charity would so readily offer to have a baby for Sarah when she’s always refused to have one with him.

Last week, the farmhand issued Charity with a stinging ultimatum – warning if she went ahead with the surrogacy plan then they were finished!  But it seems Charity may made her choice as she prepares for her appointment at the hospital…

Mack rushes to Charity’s side

There’s excitement in the air as Sarah and Charity get ready for the big day ahead. Mack doesn’t want any part in though and excuses himself to go and work at Butlers.

Enroute he bumps into Aaron, who wants to know why he isn’t going to the hospital. Aaron can see how stressed his mate is and urges Mack to be honest with Charity about how he really feels.

Mack takes his advice on board and makes a frantic dash to the fertility clinic. But by the time he gets there it’s already too late because Charity has undergone the procedure that Sarah hopes will result in a pregnancy.

As the rest of the Dingles celebrate, Mack kicks himself at missing the chance to tell Charity the truth.

As Sarah leaves, Charity takes the opportunity to have a private chat with Mack. She confides in her husband about her worries surrounding the surrogacy. Is Charity already having seconds thoughts about agreeing to have a baby at 49? And will Mack take the chance to admit his own feelings on the matter?
