Emmerdale viewers can expect some drama in the village as Charity Dingle is set to discover the truth that her new husband Mack is the secret father of Chloe Harris' baby Reuben.
Mack and Chloe have managed to keep their secret baby under wraps, with only Nate Robinson and Sarah Sugden knowing the truth. Since the birth of his son Mack has been keeping a safe distance from the new-born but things are finally set to come to a head as Mack's wife Charity works out his shocking secret.
In upcoming scenes, Mack's pal Nate worries he's deluding himself as he contemplates balancing his marriage to the landlady with a secret life with his son. Meanwhile, Chloe is left heartbroken when doctors inform her that Reuben may have a bleed on his brain.

Over at the Woolpack, Dan Spencer attempts to stay positive about Reuben's chances but Mack, who's been drowning his sorrows amid his son's health woes, reaches his breaking point, Daily Mail reports. And wife Charity is left astonished when he then punches Dan before stalking off into the night.
Later, a worried Mack sits outside the hospital, unable to bring himself to go in. He then ignores a call from Charity, who's become increasingly concerned about what's truly causing their rift.
Inside the hospital, Chloe’s desperately worried when the consultant tells her they’ll need to do another scan on Reuben, who's condition doesn't appear to be improving. Charity has become suspicious over Mack’s unusual behaviour as he heads to the hospital.
Soon, both parents are utterly relieved when the consultant tells them Reuben is showing no signs of brain damage. When Chloe asks if he wants to come and see Reuben with her, Mack jumps at the chance to spend time with his son.
