Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) has been in prison for the past few months, so you’d be forgiven for believing that she’d return to the Dales with her tail between her legs.
But, yet again, this IS Charity Dingle.
And, in tonight’s episode of the ITV soap, Emmerdale viewers will watch as the blonde villain makes a dramatic return to the village in a stolen Ferrari.
It’s only a matter of hours before Charity has caused chaos for ex Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and his wife Moira (Natalie J. Robb) - and she soon unveils her latest wicked scheme.
Yup, that’s right; we can exclusively reveal that, much to the villagers surprise, Charity is the new joint owner of the Woolpack.
Yikes!
Will becoming a pub landlady provide Charity with the stability the mum-of-three so desperately needs?
Or will her newfound status go straight to her head?
Emma Atkins said: “It is just brilliant to see her behind the bar. Something very different.
“She will be under the watchful eye of Chas (Lucy Pargeter), but both characters can give as good as they get so it will be a colourful dynamic.”
“My pint pulling can literally floor my workmates, by being brilliant one minute and horrendous the next. It's a continuity extravaganza as I'm learning the ropes from the props guys and Lucy (Pargeter) of course.
“It's a skill in itself having to say the lines, work the props and try and give a fluid performance without having an expression of dread wondering if the pint will have a good head of 'froth' on it!”
“The bar is a bit like a stage for Charity where she can show off and deliver her explosive one liners to the locals. Her behaviour will no doubt fluctuate from good to bad to ugly, with a decent dose of naughtiness thrown in.”
