Emma Atkins has opened up about her future on Emmerdale after sparking exit fears. Charity Dingle has been in trouble with the police twice in just a matter of a months, having killed Damon 'Harry' Harris after he kidnapped Mackenzie and then, as she struggled with PTSD, she ended up stabbing Mack and insisted she needed to go to jail for what she'd done. However, on both occasions, Charity has been allowed home and now is struggling to cope with all that's going on, but she has turned to therapy to support her recovery.
Emma appeared on ITV show Lorraine today, where she spoke about Charity's future on the show. She had sparked exit fears previously when she said she was "OK" with her time on the soap "ending". Speaking on Lorraine today, she said: "At the moment, I’m getting to show that side of Charity’s vulnerability that was never there or exposed before.
I think the therapy session brings that out, and I love that so much playing that. Charity has been in and out of police custody after killing Harry and stabbing Mack ( Image: ITV) "I feel very lucky to be playing at this level for my character. It’s a journey.
I guess, I know her so well now. Being given these episodes was a gift, especially the therapy one, because it was the beginnings of finding out what’s in her head. And it was like now let’s get this out.
It’s brought it all to the surface and the PTSD storyline brought it all out and showed people that trauma is unique." Emma also opened up about how.
