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.

Bella is well out of it. Hope she stays away from Sean now and breaks the family tradition of getting knocked up so young.

Yess! I thought I caught a tender moment between them yesterday in the cafe.

I much preferred him with Debbie and Sarah. His relationship with Chas has been a car cash from start to finish.

How / why is Sean such a babe magnet? He reminds me of Rowland the Rat.

I don't get why Belle is so mad in love with him now, he sent a naked picture of her out and she was pining and madly in love with Thomas King not long ago

Do they ever actually play cricket in that pitch or is it a different 'ball game' played there?

I remember a character called Jarvis a few years back was trying to stop the Kings from purchasing it for their ill-fated housing development. It nearly went through until Pollard threw a spanner in the works

He's not, he just happens to be the only teenage boy in the village. No offence to the guy who plays him but when the family originally arrived I thought he was a tomboyish girl!

Good episode tonight. More problems ahead for some!!!

Really liking Cain at the minute, seems to have calmed down a bit. Good to see a softer side of Debbie last night with Belle after all the crap of past few weeks.

I thought that too until she spoke about getting even. Debbie's idea of getting even seems to be very different to reasonable people.

He is an idiot for covering for the f*cking tools Adam and Robbie

So agree. He should have told moira it was her son that was the gutless hit and run driver. Even now when he thinks he's killed Kerry's baby he is too spineless to own up. Would rather Cian take the blame with his mum if not yet with the police. Hope he gets caught.

Too many people literally getting away with murder in the soaps now. 3 in hollyoaks, 1 in corrie and 1 in emmerdale. They need to bring in csi soapland to sort them all out.

She Devil

I can't believe how much of an A hole Dom is to Alisha! If she puts up with that attitude now she's looking for it in future, serious alarm bells going off there!!

[Deleted User]

Yer man Cameron is so gormless (and so unconvincingly at acting his part) that you'd forget he has actually done away with two people and burned the body of the second victim :rolleyes:

At least Karl in Corrie is showing some signs of being a psychopath. Sam would be a more convincing murderer than Cameron at this stage. Awful stuff

An ashen faced Chas with Dianne giving out to her? Why would you have otherwise been disappointed?

I meant the story beneath it. Sorry if I'm a bit cryptic but I don't want to give any spoilers away.

So the actress who plays Diane isn't leaving

The Sharma thing is gone all way too long now and that scene in the factory was cringworthy. I wish the truth about Archie would come out soon.

Everytime I see the vets, I'm reminded of Princess Diana's words about the marriage being a bit crowded, with 3 of them in it! Will Paddy ever come to his senses?
