Charity (Emma Atkins) is already a mother of four children, so finding out she was pregnant with her fifth child in her late forties on Emmerdale was the last thing she expected.
On Wednesday night’s episode of Emmerdale, Charity Dingle revealed she was pregnant while making a covert call to an abortion clinic.
Charity was heard on the phone scheduling a termination before disguising the call when her boyfriend Mackenzie Boyd entered the room.
Emmerdale Spoilers: Charity Dingle Is Pregnant
In tonight’s episode (Thursday, July 28th) of Emmerdale, Mack learns that Charity Dingle is pregnant with his kid. But it’s not a pleasant time for the pair because Charity wants to terminate the pregnancy.
These moments mark the beginning of a hectic few months for Charity and Mack, as Lawrence(Mack) just hinted at what’s to come for his character.
“He’s been caught off guard,” Robb told the press, including RadioTimes.com. “Initially, they’re talking about Amelia being pregnant, so he’s focused a lot on that, as well as getting Lawrence Robb out of prison.”
“He’s taken aback at first, and I don’t believe he ever says it, but he never expected to be a father. When he finds out, he really begins to appreciate the idea, but that swiftly changes.”
The actor went on to say that because Mack was not involved in the process from the beginning, Charity’s decision to terminate their child has hurt him.
“There are some dirty things coming up that will absolutely put them both to the test,” Robb confesses. “I hope they can go over that and build on it because working with Emma is fantastic! And everyone has accepted Mack and Charity!”
Emmerdale viewers will find out what the duo chooses to do in tomorrow’s episode.
Who Is Charity Dingle’s Baby Father? Since She Is Not The Child Of Mackenzie Boyd
Mackenzie Boyd is very likely not to be the father of Charity Dingle’s baby. This is because, with everything going on in her family, including the imprisonment of her son Noah Dingle (Jack Downham), the pair haven’t been intimate in a long time.
It’s possible that the baby’s father is Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), who slept with Charity after learning that his mother Faith Dingle (Sally Dexter) had terminal cancer.
With his wife, Moira Barton (Natalie J Robb), keeping him in the dark for months about the news, he may have been enraged and the desired vengeance.
He might have regretted it as soon as it happened, and he and Charity could have agreed never to discuss it again.
Unfortunately, the fact that she is pregnant may jeopardize their affair’s secrecy, but will Mackenzie uncover the identity of the baby’s father?
Emma explained: “This is absolutely not [a planned pregnancy].
“She keeps it top secret and doesn’t want to discuss it with anyone yet, especially not Mackenzie as she’s not sure she even wants to keep it.
“I think once she opens that sort of cabinet of a dilemma of ‘What should she do?’ then it becomes a whole different ball game.
“I think it’s going to be interesting and she knows she’s got this secret and so there is a lot of worry and anxiety and guilt.”
“I think it’s more exciting to have a character who can’t help but get into trouble than someone who is wise.”
Could Charity’s sudden embracing of her rebellious side be a big signal that she’s pregnant with another man’s child?

Is Emma Atkins (Charity Dingle) Pregnant In Real Life?
No, Emma Atkins is not pregnant in real life. She has a wonderful son of seven years old with her husband Tom.
On March 31, 2015, the actress and her partner Tom welcomed their baby Albert into the world, which was also her birthday.
She became pregnant in 2014, and scriptwriters developed a plot that would see the adored character leave the show.
To cover up the fact that Emma could have been pregnant during the shooting. The directors planned for Charity to give birth when she was in prison because she didn’t realize she was pregnant.
Moses’ sister Debbie was granted parental rights to the kid, and it was discovered that the child’s father was Ross Barton (Michael Parr).
The actress has not had any more children since giving birth for the first time seven years ago, but having children in the program prepared her for parenting.
Charity is notorious for her lack of parental aptitude, although Emma appears to be completely different from her persona in this regard.
Emma announced the birth of her son on social media, writing on Twitter, “We’ve had a gorgeous healthy baby boy.”
“He arrived precisely in time for my 40th birthday, which was the nicest gift,” she explained.
Albert may frequently be seen in Emma’s Instagram pictures, but his face is obscured to shield his identity from the media.
