Emmerdale are never short of dropping a plot twist into the mix, just when fans think they know what’s going on. And this time, the ITV soap could be turning up the heat as viewers predict a new romance between Charity Dingle (played by Emma Atkins) and Nate Robinson (Jurrell Carter).
Nate was branded a hero by Charity when he returned her son, Moses to her in a frightful ordeal that saw the youngster get kidnapped.
He was swept up in Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Aaron Dingle’s (Danny Miller) dodgy business with troublesome gang member, Sean (Mark Holgate).
Viewers watched as Sean swiped Moses as Cain and Aaron arranged a buyer for the car they stole off Sean’s gang.
And, Charity was not pleased.

Refusing to accept their apologies, she flew off the handle when Cain and Aaron returned without him after trying to talk Sean round.
But an unsuspecting character ended up the hero.
Charity was beyond relieved when Nate walked through the door with the little boy and called him hero, promising him free drinks forever in The Woolpack.
Understandably the mum was beyond happy when her son was returned safely, but will this spark romance between her and Moses’ rescuer?
Charity is, coincidentally, Cain’s ex-wife, so if Nate was to bed her it might infuriate him even more.
Viewers believe something will happen between the newly single barmaid and the farm-hand, after her engagement to Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) was broken off.
It came to light that Charity had been embroiled in Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) and Vinny’s (Bradley Johnson) casino scam, and when Vanessa found out about it, the village vet was more than unhappy.
Many fans thought there could be secret wedding in the works for ‘Vanity’ as viewers nicknamed them, but it looks like that theory can be put to bed, especially if she does go to bed with Nate.
Viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the new romance theory and it look like they weren’t alone as others had the same idea.
“Nate and Charity are bound to get it on at some stage I bet,” one sussed.
Another super sleuth said, “Watching @ITV @emmerdale and wondering if #Nate will be eyeing up #Charity next.”
With Charity upset and missing Vanessa, will it drive her into the arms of another?
If it does, there’s going to be a whole lot of trouble.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
