Two Emmerdale stars 'set to leave the show' as secret rocks the village

Emmerdale fans recently learnt that Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland) is expecting a baby after a fling with Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), and ever since the news broke viewers have been eagerly waiting for Mack's partner, Charity, to find out about the affair. And while the two have managed to keep the pregnancy under wraps so far, it seems they don't have long to wait before all will be revealed.

Mack and Charity were having a difficult time before he and Chloe spent the time together, after Charity suffered a devastating miscarriage leaving the couple grieving the loss of their unborn child. Mack comforted his partner and insisted it didn't matter to him if they didn't have another baby, however, when he later found out that Chloe was pregnant with his child, he struggled with his feelings about the topic.

While he wants to support Chloe and the baby, he is also willing to go to any length to Stop Charity from finding out as he fears for the future of his relationship. In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk and other press, actor Lawrence discussed whether Mackenzie is ready to become a father.

He began: "He's put between a rock and a hard place in this situation because he really wanted to be a dad with Charity. He really loves Charity and he's now going to be a father but it is just with the wrong person."

When asked whether there is still a spark between Mack and Chloe and if they will revisit that in the future, the soap star asked: "Was there ever a spark?" The actress who plays Chloe weighed in: "I think it was kind of an off-the-cuff thing that happened and there are no feelings involved I don't think."

"I do love working with you," the Mackenzie Boyd star continued before teasing a romantic storyline between the pair could happen in the future. "I mean sometimes they hate each other, but two years down the line they might, however.

"I guess they have got a common denominator of their child," he added. "So it [a romance] wouldn't be unheard of, I think they butt heads quite a lot," Jessie went on to add.

Could Mack and Chloe end up leaving the village together after realising their true feelings for one another? In doing so, Mack would finally get to be a dad but would be betraying his love, Charity.

In upcoming scenes in the ITV soap, Chloe might be exposed by Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill). When asked whether Chloe is worried about Sarah exposing the fling, the actress who plays Chloe replied: "Yes.

"I think especially for Chloe because they are so close and she feels awful for having to keep it a secret when it's kind of necessary for her survival. I think Chloe is able to deal with it quite well, I think she's quite confident in her ability to you know, manipulate or conceal the truth. So, I think she's more confident about it."

Emmerdale airs weekdays at 7pm on ITV.
