I felt sorry for McKenzie in tonight's #emmerdale – it's so obvious that he's upset about Charity no longer being pregnant, and also obvious that she can't just put it behind her. They're not going to be able to talk about it together 🙁

One fan cried: “The storyline with Charity and Mack is so heartbreaking. So sad. My heart goes out to anyone that has been through this sad situation.”
Another added: “Mack and Charity are breaking my heart.”
Supporting the couple, another fan exclaimed: “An ectopic pregnancy? Poor Charity and Mack.
“He was so excited to be a first-time dad, just as she was to finally have the chance to get it right from the start and not as a single mum like she did with all of her other pregnancies sadly. The little heartbeat.”
Emmerdale: Charity and Mack’s pregnancy journey
Viewers first found out that Charity was pregnant when she bumped into Amelia at the abortion clinic.
Whilst supporting Amelia through her pregnancy journey, Charity claimed that she was at the clinic because she had fibroids.
However, in a shock bombshell, Charity was later seen making a phone call to rebook her appointment for an abortion.
Charity was pregnant with Mack’s baby.
Feeling as though she had left the stage of motherhood behind her, after failing to be a good mother to her five children, she was apprehensive about telling Mack.
However, when Mack found out, he convinced Charity to keep the baby.
Mack was desperate to be a father.
Mack told Moira about the exciting news, with the couple keeping it a secret from everyone else during the early stages of the pregnancy.
Seven weeks into the pregnancy Charity dropped to the floor with sharp stomach pains and bleeding, with Mack bursting in on her and rushing her to hospital.
It was there that the doctor told them that the pregnancy was ectopic.
The couple would lose their baby.
