Emmerdale's Mack and Ross

Ross came face to face with Mack last night on Emmerdale. And, it’s safe to say that the two chaps didn’t get on.

It was a clash of the egos as both men fought over Charity and Moses, but was it really a fair fight if one guy was always going to come out on top? (Cough cough, Ross!)

It’s about time someone knocked Mack off of his self-made pedestal, and we’re glad that Ross took that task upon himself and succeeded.

Emmerdale: Ross and Mack – immediate enemies

Yesterday in the Dales (Tuesday, October 29), Mack watched Ross and Billy fight in the Warehouse before realising that Moses was watching his dad fight in the corner.

Trying to protect Moses, Mack picked him up and took him out of the fight. He then went home and told Charity about Ross’ bare knuckle fighting.

It wasn’t long before Ross turned up in a rage, demanding his son back. Mack and Ross then touched each other’s nerves as Ross mentioned Reuben. Mack retaliated and brought up the topic of Debbie.

Well, that was enough to push Ross over the edge, punching Mack and causing him to drop to the floor in pain. Admittedly, we loved to see it!

After yet another clash in the Woolpack, Mack and Ross faced off once more outside. Ross then suggested that Charity had stooped to a new low by marrying someone like Mack, before telling Mack that he was going to stick around in the village and make his life hell, ‘throwing a grenade’ into his life. Oh, this is going to be EX-PLOSIVE.

Ross finally knocked Mack down a peg – and we’re thrilled

We’ll be honest, we loved to see Ross see through Mack and tell him exactly what he thinks of him.

The guy has only known Mack for all of two seconds yet he’s managed to call him out and build a fairly accurate picture of him already. And, this must be celebrated.

Mack’s narcistic ego is often through the roof, and we’re not sure he even realises just how selfish, controlling and annoying he can be. Maybe Ross’ words will allow him to do some reflecting…

We’re not saying that there isn’t a redeemable aspect of Mack, but he definitely needs to change his behaviour. And, Ross already bringing this up on the first meeting is perhaps a hopeful step in Mack trying to do better. If he can acknowledge his behaviour, then maybe he’ll do the work too. Or, are we just being optimistic here?

Either way, we’re thrilled to see someone enter the village who will challenge Mack. This may just be the test he needs to step up as Charity’s husband for once before Ross swoops in and takes her from underneath his nose!
