Emmerdale's Mack actor Lawrence Robb speaks out as character 'killed off'
Mackenzie Boyd actor Lawrence Robb has addressed his next big Emmerdale storyline that will reportedly lead to his exit. Speaking for the first time since the reports emerged, Lawrence promised big scenes ahead.
The actor did not comment on whether Mack would be killed or not, or the rumours surrounding a potential departure. The interview was held before the reports were shared, while Mack actor Lawrence did drop some major hints.
It comes after it was claimed that Mack will die at the hands of killer John Sugden after he unearths his dark secret. Now, new spoilers for next week appear to back this, when it's said Mack makes a discovery that could change everything.
The clue simply reads: "Mack discovers a clue, what has Mack found?" It's very vague but the spoilers in full appear to allude that it's linked to John, and Lawrence has now confirmed this.
Asked about what he discovers and what it means, the star confessed it would lead to the moment Mack finally realises he's been right about John all along. He then teased it will land him in serious danger, with "bleak" scenes ahead.
But speaking out about working with co-star Oliver Farnworth, who plays killer John, Lawrence had nothing but good things to say. Addressing the "tense" and "not good" scenes they've had to film together, Lawrence said offscreen the pair get along very well, with him calling Oliver "the loveliest man".
He shared: "Oh, he's great. What a lovely boy. I've said that several times. I phoned him a couple of weeks ago, just to say how I thought he was doing such a great job, because, you know, playing a psycho like that - it is not easy.
"And I do think he's doing a great job. And he is just the most loveliest man. It is surreal working with someone in such a relative close proximity for a while, and to really get to know them better and to just have a laugh with them, but then then do some not very nice scenes."
On the future for Mack amid a row with his wife Charity Dingle and the stuff with John, Lawrence remained coy but did hint at bad things ahead. He simply said: "It's not looking good."
Lawrence went on: "Whilst Mackenzie has got the argument with Charity on his plate, he's also got a pretty critical moment with John on his plate as well. And, combine these two things and it does not spell good things."

Emmerdale airs Aaron and Robert reunion in ITVX release and reveals their future
The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn't aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed (time and time again if you're a fan of the characters we're about to mention) on ITVX. Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) have briefly reunited in Emmerdale, and it's very possible they're going to do it again in the future. When Robert returned to the village earlier this year, he tried to stop Aaron's wedding to his distant brother John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth). Outside, Robert admitted that he still had feelings for Aaron, and they shared a kiss. Aaron felt that his future was with John though, which meant he had to put his connection with Robert to the back of his mind. As a result of this and not wanting to make John jealous, Aaron has tried to keep his distance, but that was impossible in today's episode. On Friday, John orchestrated a situation that made Robert shout at their nephew Harry. John had asked the young lad to play his toy drum around Robert, knowing the loud banging would trigger him. The plan worked in John's favour, because Robert snapped and scared the boy. John arrived right on time and hugged Harry, acting like the hero once more. With Harry out of the room, John made a great effort to tell Robert that his behaviour is totally unpredictable. John used this to his advantage again by telling Victoria Sugden (Isabel Hodgins) all about it. She confronted her brother in the latest instalment of the ITV soap, saying that she can no longer leave Harry alone with him. Prior to this, John had handed Robert a business card for a therapist but as far as he was concerned, Robert was beyond help. John twisted the knife in further by calling Robert a waste of space so when Vic confronted him, her words made him spiral even more. Unleashing his emotions, Robert completely trashed his bedroom. He ripped shirts up, smashed mugs, and very nearly hit Aaron with a vase, who had arrived after hearing the commotion outside. Aaron managed to calm Robert down. A while later, he spoke about his time in prison and how he's now accepted it has impacted him more than he realised. Robert and Aaron, dubbed Robron by fans, kissed shortly after this conversation. They ended up in bed together, and neither of them really wanted to leave, basking in the glow and enjoying the quiet, safe environment. As they chatted, Aaron missed a call from John, and failed to realise that he was outside the house. John was chatting to Vic, but neither of them entered due to other distractions. Back in the bedroom, Aaron and Robert chatted. They concluded that thinking about the sex and their chemistry wasn't the main priority now, because they are both living complicated lives. But, unlike Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) and Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), there was a little bit of hope. 'God knows I've made you wait', Robert said. 'It's my turn to be patient'. Aaron put his hand on Robert's shoulder. They didn't really say much, but they didn't need to. It's obvious the connection they have still hasn't dissipated.

Emmerdale betrayal as Dylan hides a huge secret from April
Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) has been lying to April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) from the moment he returned to Emmerdale. Dylan originally lied to April about having a flat and a decent job when all along he has been sleeping rough and doing jobs for bad man Ray Walters (Joe Absolom). He also lied about being on the straight and narrow. April discovered he was bunking down in the cricket pavilion and eventually came to learn that the infected gammy wound on his leg was due to him being the intruder who tried to do over Moira's (Natalie J Robb) farm. When pushed, Dylan confessed to working with Ray, and then admitted Ray wanted her involved as well. April felt forced to agree to keep Dylan safe. Not the best starts for these two and their fledgling romance, but it seemed that once everything was out in the open that it was all A-OK. But Dylan is still lying to April, who is in desperate need of honesty. Dylan is trying to get back on the straight and narrow by rejecting Ray and applying for jobs, but he takes a big knock when he gets a rejection. As April leaves him to cope with the knock back, Dylan sees Ray's name on his phone. He thinks he's managed to extricate himself from Ray's business, but Ray knows differently. Ray offers him a gig with some easy money, knowing it'll drag a desperate Dylan back in. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street?

Peter Andre's son Theo asks heartbreaking question amid Princess 'feud'
Peter Andre has revealed that his eight-year-old son Theo asked him a tough question during a family holiday last week, amid the 'feud' between him and ex-wife Katie Price. Peter Andre has revealed that his son Theo, eight, put him on the spot last week during their family holiday with a heart-breaking question. The Mysterious Girl singer, 52, took to his weekly New! Magazine column to share an update after his trip to Cyprus with wife Emily MacDonagh and their children, revealing how Theo asked if they could move abroad permanently. The request comes as Peter has been hitting the headlines this week for his strained relationship with ex-wife Katie Price, after their daughter Princess took to the screen with her own ITV show - which Katie claims to be blocked out of by Peter and his management team. While Princess Andre recently declared she's 'independent' from parents as she broke her silence amid the row. Taking his mind off of the drama, Peter said of his holiday: "We're home from beautiful Cyprus and life is back to normal. It's always incredible spending time with the family, especially in our Cyprus home because they have been going there since they were babies. It actually got too hot because there was a heatwave and it knocked us for six – even I struggled with it. But Theo in particular was very sad to leave and, as always, asked if we could stay or even move there." "Sadly, life doesn't always work like that and school is starting again soon! But he'll be counting the days until we can return – hopefully when it's a bit cooler." Peter shares Theo, Amelia and Arabella with his wife Emily, and eldest children Princess and Junior with Katie. While he kept quiet on the recent controversy surrounding Princess, he did share in the column how proud he is of the 18-year-old. "I'm extremely proud of Princess and her show. I think she's absolutely smashed it. She's come across just how she is and how we know her to be – funny, quirky and kind. The response to The Princess Diaries has been phenomenal," he said.

Hopefully, she can do season two, three, four – whatever she wants to do– and soar like an eagle because she's a great kid and I'm so proud of her." While Katie often talks publicly about her children and ex Peter, the latter often stays silent on his former marriage. However, after Katie claimed on a recent podcast that their children live with her, amid other accusations, Peter took to Instagram with a statement. He wrote: "For 16 years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.' "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement.' He added, 'I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' He went on to state that the courts found Katie 'had made false claims' on two separate occasions, in 2011 and 2015, and that 'she was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management'. In a parting shot, Peter implied this was just the start of his fight-back, writing that her 'baseless accusations' would be 'dealt with in the coming months'.
