Emmerdale star Emma Atkins teases mystery maze stunt for Charity Dingle

Emma Atkins, who plays Charity Dingle on Emmerdale, has teased a new stunt for her character.

For next week's Super Soap Week episodes, shocking scenes involving Charity and her on/off lover Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) will see Charity in danger of drowning as they take part in challenges.

But, Atkins has said that a mystery maze stunt leads to the possibility of her drowning in a pond.

Atkins explained that she filmed scenes in the corn maze, which was "exciting".

"I did my own stunt at one point which I can't divulge because it would spoil the surprise, but it's a dramatic moment for Charity and Mackenzie," Atkins teased.

Speaking about the relationship between Mackenzie and Charity, Atkins said: "Survival week is going to be pretty spectacular and the dynamic relationships between Charity and Mackenzie will come into its own during this explosive week of drama."

Plus, Atkins had "a lot of fun" working with Lawrence on those scenes, where "there was a lot of flirtation" between their characters. She added: "The scripts were fun and I think it's going to add a lighthearted touch to the week's events."

Emmerdale fans will be in for a week of twists and turns with the soap, as producer Kate Brooks recently revealed to Digital Spy and other media that next week's episodes will be a "non-stop adrenaline rush from the very start."

It is expected that at least one character will lose their life, but Brooks revealed that they "don't take these decisions lightly."

She said, "It's always story-driven, it's always character-led. We wanted to make sure that every kill has impact and changes people and the outcome isn't always what you'd expect or indeed hope."

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
