In recent Emmerdale episodes, Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) ultimately succumbed to her failing mental health, shocking viewers. She attacked Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) with a knife during a night terror, leaving him struggling to survive.
For Charity, who has been silently suffering since she murdered Damon “Harry” Harris (Robert Beck) at Christmas, this was all the climax of weeks of anguish.
Every time Charity hears a loud bang, she relives the moment the gun went off. Charity has also had panic attacks and uncontrollably intense episodes of dread or wrath.
Mackenzie is in the hospital after being stabbed, and investigators want to talk to him about what occurred. When Charity is eventually freed and returns home, he does his utmost to protect her.
When Cain (Jeff Hordley) attempts to console Charity, she pushes him away and demands time by herself to come to terms with what has occurred.
When Cain tells Sarah (Katie Hill) and Noah (Jack Downham) that Charity spent the night alone, they are distraught and rush to her, even though he insists Charity needs space.
Charity becomes even more agitated upon their arrival, fearing that someone is attempting to break into the home. Fearing about her grandmother, Sarah breaks down the door, but a scared Charity demands that Sarah and Noah go.
Similarly, Charity asks Mack to leave when he ultimately returns home out of fear that she would attempt to injure him again.
Cain is left to attempt to talk Charity out of her risky behavior, and although she threatens to injure him as well if he remains, he persists on remaining to show that she is not dangerous.
Then, according to Emma Atkins, he suggests that she consider going to counseling.
“It’s a good thing, in Cain’s opinion,” he adds, adding that Kyle (Huey Quinn), who murdered Al (Michael Wildman), has undoubtedly also had counseling. All she’s doing is attempting to deny that she needs assistance. Additionally, Chas (Lucy Pargeter) saves the day. She soon schedules a visit with a doctor and admits that she really needs assistance.
