Emma Atkins, known for her role as Charity Dingle on Emmerdale, recently shared that she may consider taking a break from the beloved soap in the near future. Having been a part of the show since 2000, Emma hinted at a possible temporary leave for her character during an interview with My Weekly. "I might take a year out at some point in the future - do some traveling, do some other jobs," she said.
But don't worry, Emmerdale fans, as Emma was quick to reassure that she is committed to the Dales. "At the moment, I'm here to stay," she declared. "As long as they're writing brilliant stuff for my character and I love playing her, I don't feel the need to go off and do anything else." It's evident that Emma is dedicated to her role and the show, which has been a huge part of her life for over two decades.
Recently, viewers have seen Charity's storyline take a dark turn as she starts to notice concerning signs in Belle's relationship with Tom King. In a plot that began last year, Belle has been suffering from physical and mental abuse at the hands of her husband. Speaking to This Morning's Sharon Marshall, Emma teased that there will be a moment in the upcoming episodes that will have viewers "screaming at the TV."
Charity, who has experienced abuse in the past, is playing a dangerous game as she tries to uncover the truth about Tom. "She's been there with historical abuse but she can't be sure either," Emma explained. "She's playing a very dangerous game because as soon as you open the flood gates and you're wrong...he's so clever, Tom, isn't he? It's why no one is picking up on these traits and behavioral changes." The actress emphasized the importance of having discussions about domestic abuse, not just for women, but for men as well. "It's so important that we express that through the storyline happening at the moment," she added.
With the intense storyline unfolding, Emma believes that the audience will have a strong reaction when Charity finally confronts Belle about the abuse. "I think the audience are going to be screaming at the TV when Charity finally gets to have her moment with Belle," she teased.
