Emmerdale's Emma Atkins on Charity danger: 'It's been fun and horrible'

Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has spoken to Digital Spy about filming this week's dramatic episodes, admitting that they were "unpleasant" but "brilliant" to work on.

The actress's character Charity Macey looks set to face a terrifying ordeal over the next few days, as her vengeful husband Declan (Jason Merrells) plans to kill her while they are on holiday at a remote cottage.

Declan has already tried to poison Charity after discovering that she secretly aborted their baby and then lied about suffering a miscarriage.

Atkins told Digital Spy of this week's storyline: "It's been fun and intense to film. At times it's been horrible and quite unpleasant, but also brilliant. We've had to go to places that aren't particularly pleasant in one's emotional state of mind, but it's been necessary for the journey that Charity and Declan have both gone on.


"It's been an arduous task and a brilliant one, but I was screwed after one of the filming days in particular - I was ready for a bath and bed! But it was so rewarding at the same time.


"We've filmed most of it in chronological order, which has been an absolute godsend. It's quite a minefield of madness when you know that you've got to film all of these emotions, so for it to be in chronological order helps us enormously."


The dramatic events surrounding Charity and Declan follow a year of bad behaviour from both of them, but it seems that they are about to get their comeuppance in one way or another.

Discussing the viewer response to Charity's antics, Atkins explained: "I get a lot of comments about Charity betraying Sam, and how could you ever do that to your own family? But the beauty of this story is that the audience will get to see Charity's comeuppance.

"From a moral point of view, she's got to have that - there's got to be a judgement day for what she did. She did a hell of a big thing by sending Jai's child away, but she did it because she was hell-bent on vengeance because he'd had his sordid one-night stand with Rachel on the factory floor.


"Sam ended up in the firing line and she absolutely destroyed his happiness to get the money for the Home Farm fire. There's got to be a comeuppance for that."


Emmerdale continues with an hour-long episode tonight (September 23) at 7pm on ITV.
