Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has revealed whether or not she intends to remain in the role of Charity Dingle.
When asked in an interview with Digital Spy if she’s happy to continue playing Charity for the foreseeable, Emma replied with: ‘More than happy, yes!’
Emma has been portraying Charity in the ITV serial drama since 2000, and recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her first appearance.
Reflecting on the audition, Emma said: ‘I remember it vividly. My agent at the time rang me to say ITV were casting a new regular character in Emmerdale to play one of the Dingles. I remember feeling pretty excited about the prospect of even auditioning, because of how iconic the family are.’
Charity is currently at the centre of a huge storyline, as soulmate Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) has been diagnosed with bowel cancer — and the Dingle icon has been determined to support her every step of the way.
On this storyline, Emma told Digital Spy: ‘It’s a very powerful storyline for obvious reasons. I have to say, Michelle has been absolutely brilliant. She’s played every scene beautifully and it’s been an interesting dynamic to see Charity terrified of losing somebody she loves so much. I’ve enjoyed the challenge.’
‘Charity and Vanessa are very real and their relationship is packed full of differences. They are polar opposites and yet somehow it works. That is an exciting combination. When people are attracted to their opposites, it means there’s always going to be good contrast. Good fiery arguments – and good passionate making up to do.’
