Published Tuesday, Jan 24 2012, 17:57 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly | 5 comments
Emmerdale star Emma Atkins has revealed that her character Charity Tate will not get along with newcomer Megan Macey.
Back in October, show bosses announced that Gaynor Faye had been cast in the role of Megan, who is the half-sister of Home Farm boss Declan.
Atkins teased the tension ahead as she made an appearance on The Alan Titchmarsh Show this afternoon.
Asked about her future at Emmerdale, the actress replied: "For now, I'm absolutely there - solid. I absolutely love my job and I'm happy - and it's working out really good.
"Who knows what's happening? But I'm about to start working with Gaynor Faye for a while, which will be good. I think we're going to be at loggerheads somewhat! That'll be interesting."
The 36-year-old said that she loves the drama surrounding Charity, who ties the knot with Jai Sharma this week.
"She's interesting, because she gets things wrong all the time," Atkins explained. "And I do like to play a character who's constantly in trouble. She never stops at a hurdle - she just keeps going!"
Emmerdale airs Charity's wedding episodes on Thursday at 7pm and 8pm on ITV1. Meanwhile, Megan makes her arrival in the village next month.
