Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) will rue the day he broke Chloe Harris’ (Jessie Elland) heart as her sinister dad set to make his long-awaited Emmerdale debut.
Chloe, as fans will recall, was kept under surveillance by her crime boss father when she first appeared in the ITV soap, with the criminal employing people to watch his daughter’s every move and report back to him in prison.
There was little known about the man in question, other than the fact that he was not to be missed with, with subsequent scenes seeing him kick her out when she revealed her desire to break free from such control and captivity.
The storyline in question was later dropped, with producers later rewriting Chloe’s backstory somewhat to reveal that her biological mother was actually Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton), who worked for the dangerous criminal.
With Kerry now playing a parental role and Chloe a firm fixture of the village, it seemed as though we might never find out what the deal with her father was, but that’s all set to change.
Chloe, as viewers know, has had her heart broken by Mackenzie, who has realised that, despite months of trying to convince himself otherwise, he’s still madly in love with Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).
Monday’s (November 20) edition of the ITV soap saw Mack break the news to her, with scenes later this week seeing Chloe set out to get revenge, cruelly slapping Charity for no apparent reason before setting off with Reuben, insisting that Mack will never see his son again.
Mack is hopeful that he can track Chloe down and stop her from making a huge mistake in taking his little boy away from him, but little does he know that this is just the beginning of what’s to come.
Discussing what’s coming up, Emmerdale boss told Metro.co.uk: ‘The Charity, Mackenzie and Chloe love triangle has been bubbling away for 18 months or so now, so at Christmas we’ll see that reach a bit more of a crescendo where Mackenzie pushes Chloe to her absolute limit and what we’ll see is her reach out to her father for help.
‘Obviously we know from previous stories that Chloe’s dad is not someone to be messed about with – quite a dark.
‘We know that he was quite controlling with Chloe and that people are afraid of him, so obviously when she reaches out to him what we will see is him helping Chloe in his own unique way.
‘Is Mackenzie going to be able to talk his way out of this one? I’m not sure, we’ll have to wait and see but I think it’s pretty sure to say the repercussions of that are going to be long-lasting into the new year and beyond.’
Consider us intrigued and also very worried!
