Fans of Emmerdale have grown concerned for Charity Dingle as she begins to exhibit signs of PTSD after killing gangster Harry.
In dramatic scenes which aired on Christmas Day, Charity struggled with Harry as he prepared to shoot love rat Mack.
As Charity attempted to wrestle the gun from out of Harry’s hands, it went off – killing Harry.
She, Mack and Chloe appeared to get away with killing Harry – with Chloe choosing to flee with Mack’s child – but the pressure is getting to Charity.
