Emmerdale fans in complete U-turn over 'poor Mack' as Ross kisses Charity

Fans of Emmerdale have found themselves conflicted for ‘poor Mack’ after Ross leaned in for a kiss with Charity. Ross has only been back in the village all of five minutes, but he didn’t waste much time in making his move.

Charity spurned her former lover, but the chemistry between the pair was undeniable. And, as the pair shared a quick kiss last night (Monday, November 4), viewers took that as all the confirmation they needed that an affair is nigh.

But where does this leave Mack?

‘Poor Mack!’ cry Emmerdale fans as Ross makes his move

Writing on social media as the scenes aired, fans shared their horror at the thought of a Charity and Ross reunion. And many felt pity for Mack, who is sure to be left out in the cold by a potential Ross and Charity reconciliation.

“He’s playing Charity … again. She will fall for his charms deffo! Poor Mack!” cried one fan.

“Nooooo please don’t do this to Charity and Mack,” said another.

“Course it was coming poor Mack,” said a third.

“No! No! No! Don’t split another couple up!” a fourth horrified viewer begged.

Fans’ consternation came as quite the change of tune, given Mack’s historied unpopularity among Emmerdale viewers.

Poor Mack?

Mack – often dubbed ‘Mackrat’ on social media – may be playing the ideal husband and father at the moment, but it was only last year that he had Charity in a state over his cheating with Chloe.

Fathering a child after a one-night stand, Mack then lied about his infidelity for months on end. And, once the truth came out, he then played both women for fools, (somehow) reuniting with Charity amid the new life he’d built with Chloe and Rueben.

Somehow, Charity managed to forgive and forget and so, it appears, did many viewers.
