Emmerdale update about Chloe Harris' dad Damon's death leaves Charity struggling

Emmerdale is set to issue an update about Chloe Harris' father Damon's death next week that leaves Charity Dingle struggling.

Soap watchers will recall that Mackenzie Boyd found himself in serious danger recently at the hands of villain Harry, who turned out to be Chloe's father Damon. Chloe had turned to her estranged father for help, after fiancé Mack betrayed her and dumped her for his ex Charity.

Just weeks earlier Chloe nearly died in a car crash, after Mack saved Charity over her as he could not rescue both. Chloe survived and Mack proposed, only for him to dump her days later - resulting in Chloe doing a runner with their baby son Reuben and hoping to flee the country.

In recent scenes, Mack, who had been bound to a chair and beaten in a disused warehouse, tried to escape with Chloe's help after she realised her father's sinister plan. However, Mack was soon caught by Damon and his heavies. On Christmas Day's episode, Charity discovered missing partner Mack was being held captive.

Over at the warehouse, Damon attacked Mack again, revealing he was going to kill him, as Chloe begged him to stop. Charity and Chas, who had followed Damon's car, heard shouting as Charity went to investigate and Chas called the police.

The duo then heard screaming to which Charity ran down to the warehouse room, hiding in the background as Damon took out a gun. Chloe then stood in the way, protecting Mack, to which Charity ran in shouting 'no'. In a bid to protect Charity, Mack then knocked over Damon, who had been pointing his gun at her.

In dramatic scenes, the gun fell to the floor and as Charity picked it up, Damon tried to grab it from her hand. A shot then went off before it was revealed that Damon had been hit and he later died. Chloe told Mack she wouldn't shop Charity to the police, but only if he never saw their son Reuben again and let them leave the Dales to start a new life elsewhere.

Mack agreed to let Chloe go in a bid to protect Charity, sharing an emotional final goodbye with his son. Since the ordeal, Charity has been struggling and things only get worse next week. In new spoilers, DS Jones confirms Damon/Harry's death has been ruled accidental. Mack is left relieved over the news but Charity, despite hiding it, is really struggling...
