Tom Lister: 'Carl's love life is a mess'

Emmerdale star Tom Lister has admitted that he does not expect Carl King to end his current love triangle any time soon.

In recent months, viewers have seen the actor's character embark on an affair with flirtatious Eve Jenson (Suzanne Shaw), while his partner Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) remains clueless.

Next week, Carl will face a huge dilemma as Eve encourages him to make a choice about who he wants to be with. Although the businessman vows to dump Chas in the heat of the moment, he soon begins to regret his hastiness.

Speaking ahead of the episodes airing, Lister commented: "He can't choose right now. He wants them both! His head probably says Chas - she is the love of his life - but he can't give Eve up. It's a mess."

Carl also faces a second ultimatum next week when his brother Jimmy (Nick Miles) threatens to tell Chas everything if he does not end his fling with Eve.

Lister added: "Maybe it won't be Carl making the decision. If Jimmy does tell Chas, I can't see her forgiving Carl."

Suzanne Shaw recently promised that the storyline will get "bigger and better" as Christmas approaches.
