Mack Boyd (Lawrence Robb) has made his choice in Emmerdale – and it’s catastrophic news for the mother of his child, Chloe Harris (Jessie Elland).

He was faced with a painful decision when the car she and Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) were trapped in teetered over a cliff edge.

Mack had a mere moment to grab someone’s hand and, in what might not be a huge surprise to fans, he pulled Charity to safety.

Chloe’s face was a picture of devastation, before she then plummeted out of sight, crashing in a wreckage at the foot of the ravine.

Charity and Mack’s relief was short-lived as he ran forward to see if he could save Chloe, but Charity pulled him back from the edge to safety.

She seemed pretty resigned to the fact that Chloe was dead, but Mack eventually made his way down.

Chloe had been flung out of the car and was in a seriously bad way – but miraculously, she was still alive.

She stirred slightly as Mack assured her that she was going to be okay. However, he soon noticed that she had been impaled on a shard of the vehicle and was bleeding extremely heavily.

He held the wound to stem the flow, while Charity waved down a rescue helicopter.

The paramedic told Mack that Chloe had stabilised but was far from out of the woods as she was rushed to hospital.

As they left, Mack’s face was a picture of guilt – he had let the woman he was meant to be spending the rest of his life with drop, instead saving the estranged wife he had recently cheated with.

Charity assured him that it was just instinct and there was nothing behind it, but Mack shut her down and told her they both knew that this wasn’t true.

‘It was a choice.’

The pair stood in pondering and haunting silence as they digested what this meant – Mack loves Charity more than Chloe.

But is this the end of Chloe? Or will she come round and confront both Mack’s cheating and his choice to save Charity over her?
