Mack gives Charity an ultimatum after finding out about her offer in Emmerdale

Will she choose surrogacy over her marriage?

 19-25 JULY

Pollard can’t resist telling Mack, Charity has offered to be Sarah’s surrogate. Aghast, Mack heads to find out more, and during an explosive argument, Charity defends her decision.

Jacob’s astounded that Pollard betrayed his trust, but Pollard stands firm, warning Jacob he’s making a huge mistake. As Jacob rails at his grandad, Sarah accuses Eric of having a problem with her gran, but Pollard admits his true concern is her shortened life expectancy.

Meanwhile, Mack is gutted by Charity’s eagerness to carry Sarah’s baby but not his. Unable to agree, the pair are upset.

Later that afternoon, Charity receives word that the clinic will try to inseminate. When Sarah worries about the issues this may cause between Charity and Mack, a determined Charity assures her she’ll be able to talk him around.

Exasperated, Mack gives Charity an ultimatum: it’s the surrogacy or their marriage.
