'Emmerdale' Charity's heart belongs to Cain, says Emma Atkins

Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has hinted that Jai Sharma may not be the best match for her character Charity Tate.

The pair are currently planning their wedding on screen, but Charity finds herself drawn back in by ex-partner Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) in forthcoming episodes.

Charity and Cain receive a shock in tonight's hour-long edition of Emmerdale when their granddaughter Sarah is diagnosed with a rare genetic condition.

The news prompts Charity to tell Jai (Chris Bisson) that she will be spending more time with Cain from now on, and she goes on to share another kiss with the bad boy mechanic next week.

Atkins told Inside Soap of the storyline: "Cain and Charity are so alike, and it's history repeating itself. Being apart has given them time to again build up this sexual tension between them."

However, Charity soon turns against Cain again when she discovers his recent treatment of troubled teen Amy Wyatt (Chelsea Halfpenny), before frantically trying to repair relations with Jai.

Atkins added: "Charity is determined to make this relationship work. But as much as she does love Jai, I think her heart truly belongs to Cain."
