Emmerdale viewers are convinced that Mackenzie Boyd will be leaving the village soon after he was found by his wife Charity Dingle in emotional scenes
Emmerdale fans are forecasting a heart-wrenching departure for Mackenzie Boyd.
Mackenzie (Lawrence Robb) has certainly been through the wringer in recent weeks, having discovered that John Sugden (Oliver Farmworth) was responsible for the murder of Nate Robinson (Jurrell Carter) last year and the subsequent disposal of his body in a lake.
In a desperate bid to keep his secret under wraps, John assaulted Mackenzie in the woods before trapping him, severely wounded, in an underground bunker.
Subsequent episodes saw Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller), John’s husband, finally uncover the truth about John drugging him, leading to a dramatic and tense confrontation.
The plot thickened when John confessed all to Aaron, culminating in both men plunging over a cliff edge. While Aaron was rushed to hospital and placed in an induced coma, John made a surprisingly swift recovery, reports the Daily Star.
Upon regaining consciousness, Aaron revealed to his mother Chas (Lucy Pargeter) the extent of John’s heinous crimes and his capture of Mackenzie. The hunt for Mack was on during Thursday’s (September 18) episode.
Despite the police and Mack’s wife Charity (Emma Atkins) locating the bunker, Mack was nowhere to be found. However, later on, John was spotted carrying a severely weakened Mackenzie to a hospital.
He managed to alert medical staff, claiming that Mack had overdosed before making a hasty exit. A distraught Charity arrived at the hospital, keeping a vigil at Mack’s bedside, praying for his recovery.
In a touching moment, Mack uttered her name before opening his eyes and asked if he was dreaming. Overwhelmed with emotion, Charity reassured him, “I’m here,” before planting a kiss on his forehead. However, despite Mack being found, viewers can’t shake off the feeling that a heartbreaking departure is looming for the much-loved character.
On an Emmerdale Facebook fan page, one viewer speculated: “I think Mack will survive but want to take a break from the village for a while when he gets out of hospital.” Another fan agreed: “Yeah that’s what usually happens when an actor has a big storyline.”
A third echoed: “I can see that happening as well.” However, some believe the character could still meet a tragic end. They wrote: “He could still die? From his injuries or something.” Another person predicted: “Yep more to come I think.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
