Emmerdale [News, Spoilers and Discussion]

JP Liz

Emma Atkins is to make a shock comeback to Emmerdale as Charity Tate later this year as part of the ITV soap's major overhaul.

The 33-year-old, who played the role for five years between 2000 and 2005, is the first in a wave of "stunning new signings" that will inject a new lease of life into the show when it's revamped over the coming months.

The announcement comes two months after producers revealed that Jeff Hordley was returning to the soap as Charity's cousin and former lover, Cain Dingle.

Cain reappears in Emmerdale in April and Charity is due to return with her five-year-old son Noah in a blaze of glory shortly afterwards, to the shock of her daughter Debbie (Charley Webb).

Speaking of her decision to reprise her role, she said: "Charity is a wonderfully complex character and an absolute joy to play. I couldn't resist the opportunity to explore a new era of Charity, Cain and Debbie and will relish seeing what she's been up to since we saw her last."

Series producer Gavin Blyth added: "It's going to be an incredibly exciting year for Emmerdale with Charity and Cain back at the heart of the action.

"This is the first in a series of new signings and intriguing characters on the horizon and we're going to delight in reminding viewers that when it comes to compelling drama and commanding characters, Emmerdale is a force to be reckoned with."

Charity first appeared in Emmerdale in March 2000 for her cousin Butch's funeral, but it later emerged that she was a prostitute on the run from the police. She quickly went on to marry millionaire Chris Tate in 2001, before having an affair with her sister-in-law Zoe.

When Chris died after drinking a poisoned glass of champagne in 2003, it soon transpired that he had committed suicide in an attempt to frame Charity for his murder.

She later went on to have a relationship with Tom King, but on their wedding day, Tom was shown some damning photos of Charity kissing Cain by Sadie, who had hired Cain to set her up.

Charity was last seen on screen in March, fleeing the village with her one-year-old Noah after exacting her revenge on Sadie King (Patsy Kensit) by having a fling with her husband Jimmy King (Nick Miles).

Atkins will begin filming and reappear on screen later in the year.

I thought that red on Emma McCrazybitchs dress was a design. It was suppose to be blood from when she chopped the head off of the chick in back yard.
It was put on in a designed fashion .

I really
It's terrible - it's didn't even dry in like blood would and spread - just stayed in the same position

That episode was terrible. All this is so disappointing compared to how Holly's death was dealt with

I really thought it was brilliant. The last 3 days have been apart from the camping part in the first half of yesterday's episode with paddy and Marlon.

Emma is super human super woman

hope she don't die, she is as mad as a box of frogs but well played by Gillian Kearney who don't age

Does James know that Emma knows about his donkey roll with Moira recently and declaration of love?

Good point. Emma doesn't age. She still looks familiar to the way she was in brookside years ago.

Excellent acting tonight I thought . For both of them to carry practically the whole episode on their own ,very well done.

Best lines-

Emma - " You're paranoid ",
James - " Must be the drugs "

Too funny

Hopefully Lachlan is dead and Chrissie is attached to the underside of the car following them and Joanie swims out to save them and also drowns and Rakesh falls into one of the graves and gets buried alive, then Pierce gets blamed for Rakesh's mystery disappearance and gets locked up never to be seen again.

Who else can we get rid of this week?

JAMES!
Please!

I've never seen an "actor" "act" entirely using his mouth before. Honestly don't know how this guy gets work.

Am I one of the only people who thinks the whole week has been a load of tripe? Each episode so far has been ridiculous! Its like a 10year old kid wrote the script.
Emmerdale went from being really poor to being absolutely fantastic viewing for a few weeks and now it seems, to me anyway, has gotten worse than ever.

You're not the only one. Now I remember why I stopped watching for a while (hence my shock at the sudden appearce of Dotty!). I'll watch tonight to see what develops from this but won't be going out of my way to watch now I'd say.

I reckon that's to stem the publicity as so many are convinced it's automatically going to be James perhaps.

I still think it's Emma who dies and someone like Paddy gets paralysed maybe.

Sorry. I completely disagree. I think it's been brilliant this week. Best story lines for ages.

Thought the funeral was been held in ireland when I saw the size of that pothole.

This is excellent. Best so far. Brilliant scene division and flow. Makes a show out of the first two episodes of the week. Yesterday, being better but not as good as this.

ashley is such a good character.

We're back at the scene with Emma McCrazybrains and James .

Why oh why did it have to be Ashleys car that James landed on ? Hasn't he enough to be dealing with ?

I really hope it's Ashley who dies as his scenes are becoming very upsetting. I don't want to see him declining slowly.

The sad thing is he'll probably not remember what happened and get the blame for the whole thing. Excellent episode, jumped more than once!!
