Emmerdale's Lawrence Robb has weighed in on whether his character Mackenzie Boyd and Charity Dingle's relationship will come to an end.
The couple are currently getting ready to walk down the aisle, but Mack's secret has been eating at him. In new scenes, he intends to tell Charity he's the father of Chloe Harris's unborn baby, conceived when he cheated on his fiancée last year.
"Oh Emma [Atkins] is great to work with. But in soap I think a ship has its course and if it's time to end it..." the actor told Digital Spy and other press.

Lawrence thinks that, once the truth is out, it would be hard for Charity to continue their relationship.
"When Charity finds out, in my honest opinion, knowing Charity's character, I'd like to think that she'd forgive Mack but she's fiery so I don't know," he said. "I wouldn't want it to be detrimental to Emma's character, just for the sake of keeping us together because that's what soap and drama is. So if it's come to an end, it's come to an end."
However, it seems that the wedding will go ahead, as Robb hinted at their characters' hen and stag do's.
"I'm excited for the Dingle wedding, I'm also excited for the hen and stag party, whatever they've got planned, I hear it's going to be very good fun," he added. "It will be as dramatic as I imagine everyone is envisioning it to be, you know with all the plot twists involved."

Perhaps Mack's infidelity may be revealed during the parties, as his original plan to tell Charity is halted when her granddaughter Sarah — who's aware of his fling with Chloe — is rushed to the hospital.
"Obviously Mack is in 'I'm telling Charity mode' and they're unaware of Sarah up the stairs," Robb explained. "But I think as soon as Sarah comes down the stairs and then collapses, the telling of Charity goes straight out of the window as that's the priority and that's what they go for."
When and how will Charity find out?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
