Emmerdale could see two or three characters leave the village for good very soon, following a big announcement just as two villagers planned some time away.
A resident of the ITV soap revealed their plans to leave for good along with another character, but could it lead to a third resident joining them away from the village?
Charity Dingle and Mackenzie Boyd escaped the soap location in the latest episode, as they decided to take a break from daily life.
Mack had booked a surprise honeymoon trip to Paris, the day after the pair tied the knot.
Of course what his new wife doesn't know is that Mack is now a dad, after his fling Chloe Harris welcomed their child during Thursday's episode.
Mack slept with Chloe last summer and she fell pregnant. She decided to keep her baby but Mack, while torn, vowed not to be a part of the child's life.

So when Chloe gave birth on Thursday with her sister Amy Wyatt by her side, Mack was nowhere to be seen and instead married Charity.
On Friday, viewers saw Chloe return home with her baby son and it wasn't long before Mack learned his child was just houses away.
He did everything he could to flee the village without having to see the baby, but an oblivious Charity decided she wanted to play Chloe a visit.
As Mack told her they had to get to the airport, Charity insisted on seeing the baby with no clue Mack was the father.

It all got very awkward when Charity held the newborn and slammed the missing father, who was actually in the same room.
As Mack kept making up excuses as to why he didn't need to look at the baby, his child, Charity forced him to go over to him as she continued to cradle the baby.
Chloe watched on as Mack was clearly overwhelmed, and moments later she made a confession.
As Charity said she would visit after the honeymoon was over, Chloe told her she would have left the village for a new life in Aberdeen by then.

Chloe revealed to Charity and Mack her plans to live in Scotland, and said she and her baby boy would both be gone within days.
Charity seemed shocked while Mack was torn, having tried to force Chloe to leave the village previously.
But with both her and Mack's child set for an exit, will his clear feelings for his secret son lead to him leaving too? Perhaps he will decide to help Chloe raise the baby in Scotland.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
