How many people has Charity killed in Emmerdale? From Damon Harris shooting to Leyla crash death
She’s got blood on her hands!
Charity Dingle is a good person – pretty much. And yet, as she pointed out earlier this week in Emmerdale, she’s killed quite a few people now!
And she’s even been in prison for murder, though to be fair, she didn’t actually do that particular crime.
“Why do I keep killing people?” Charity asked Mack in an emotional episode.
So we thought we’d take a look at the people whose lives she’s taken – in a roundabout way
Charity killed Damon Harris
Damon ‘Harry’ Harris was Chloe’s gangster dad. He inserted himself back in Chloe’s life when her relationship with Mackenzie Boyd fell apart.
When Damon discovered Mack had left Chloe to die in the car accident – choosing to rescue Charity instead – he was furious.
Desperate for revenge, he kidnapped Mack and held him hostage for days. Charity was convinced something was wrong, though and tracked him down. In the confrontation that followed, Damon threatened to shoot Mack. Charity tried to stop him and accidentally shot him instead!
And Suzy Merton
Of course we all know the drama of this week’s episodes that left Suzy dead. On Valentine’s Day, Charity was driving the limo full of over-excited women to their night out. But as she headed down the dark country lanes, Noah stepped out in front of the car!
WHAT? What on earth was Charity’s son doing in a daze in the middle of the road? We still don’t know, but we do know that Charity swerved to avoid him, lost control of the huge car and plunged into an icy lake.
Suzy was killed instantly in the collision.
Charity killed Leyla Harding in Emmerdale
Poor Leyla was a victim of the same collision, though she didn’t die instantly. She was stabbed with a broken glass as the car came to rest in the ice, and it took her a little while to notice what had happened.
Leyla was alive when the paramedics arrived but she had lost so much blood that she died in the ambulance on the way to hospital. In heartbreaking scenes, her medical student son Jacob tried to resuscitate his mum, only to be pulled away by the doctor.
Another death on Charity’s hands as Amy Barton passed away
The week wasn’t done with deaths after Suzy and Leyla. Despite fighting hard and waking up long enough to utter “Nate, underwater,” Amy Barton did not make it.
She had fallen under the ice while trying to escape the limo. Tracy had gone to pull her out and drag her to safety, but Amy was suffering severe hypothermia. Amy was rushed to hospital where they tried to gradually warm her up.
However her heart just couldn’t take it and to the devastation of her husband, Matty, mum, Kerry, and son, Kyle, Amy died.
Charity now has three deaths in a week on her hands.
But Charity didn’t kill Chris Tate
Chris and Charity were happy together for a little while. Their marriage was fiery and it definitely had its ups and downs, but they stuck together until Charity rekindled her romance with Cain. That was the final straw for Chris.
So when he found out he had a fatal brain tumour, he began to plot. Knowing he only had a few months to live, Chris decided to take vicious revenge on his cheating wife.
He was going to kill himself and frame Charity for the crime!
The plan worked. Chris asked Charity round to reconcile and she came as he asked. He made sure her fingerprints were on a champagne glass filled with poison, and even made a secret phonecall to the police. As he collapsed and died on the floor his last word was “whore”! That’s brutal!
Charity was arrested, tried and sent to prison for Chris’s murder. She gave birth to baby Noah in jail. But Zoe Tate – Chris’s sister – knew the truth. She agreed to sign a statement saying Chris killed himself if Charity gave her Noah.
The deal was done, Zoe handed over the statement and the £10k Charity had asked for and Ms Dingle walked free.
But eventually she fought to get Noah back and that £10k was burned by a disgusted Debbie.
Charity didn’t have the cash, but she did have her freedom and her son.
