“As we all know, time moves on…” <\/p>

Emmerdale\u2019s Emma Atkins has revealed her feelings on any potential romantic reunion between her character Charity and first love\/second cousin Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley).<\/p>\n

Charity and Cain were childhood sweethearts, with Cain fathering Charity\u2019s first child, daughter Debbie (Charley Webb).<\/p>\n

The pair have been apart for a good several years now, with Cain since reuniting with wife Moira (Natalie J Robb).<\/p>\n

Charity, meanwhile, embarked on a popular relationship with village vet Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), but later moved on to marry Moira\u2019s younger brother Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb).<\/p>\n

Chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other media, Atkins was asked to share her thoughts on the chances of Cain and Charity ever getting back together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWouldn\u2019t it be nice!\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cI guess, I do love the old-school Cain and Charity. But as we all know, time moves on, and I do the love the Moira\/Cain chemistry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do think it\u2019s very\u2026 it\u2019s brilliant because they\u2019re so different, that they work as a \u2018yin-yang\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

In contrast, the similarities between Charity and Cain tended to cause their many clashes, as Atkins pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhereas I think with Charity and Cain, there is that level of\u2026 there would probably be too much friction because they\u2019re from similar stock \u2013 whereas Moira has that sort of morally upstanding nature. I don\u2019t know, I just\u2026 I wouldn\u2019t want to change their dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s bad news for anyone who had another Cain and Charity love story on their wishlists! But the star is always happy to work with Hordley and Robb.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to work with Jeff, and Nat Robb \u2013 she\u2019s amazing. In fact, my mum said to me the other day, \u2018Isn\u2019t she a brilliant actress!\u2019 Nat Robb, she\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Asked whether her mum is enjoying watching Emmerdale at the moment, Atkins replied: \u201cShe loves it, but she\u2019s fuming with Tom. I mean, who isn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n

As if by magic, at that very moment actor Chase, who plays Tom, joined the chat, and the harrowing domestic abuse storyline with Tom and Belle King<\/a> (Eden Taylor-Draper) has also drawn in a suspicious Charity.<\/p>\n

But as Charity\u2019s attempts to get Belle to open up fail in upcoming scenes, how might Atkins approach the situation as a friend in real life?<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is such a hard question because, how do you turn to someone who\u2019s not uttered a word, because you could be really wrong on all levels? Imagine saying, \u2018I feel like your husband is controlling you.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, that\u2019s so difficult, I would never want to be in that situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be so careful. I\u2019d probably put it out there\u2026 I\u2019d probably go out for a meal, get quite tiddly with my girlfriend and say, \u2018You know, you can come to me about anything, don\u2019t you?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if they go, \u2018Oh, what do you mean?\u2019 I\u2019d be like, \u2018I don\u2019t know, just anything! If you ever feel in life something didn\u2019t feel right with anything in your world right now, you know that I\u2019m there for you in any capacity.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the only way you could say it, really. And hope that they would pick up on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Charity, it\u2019s been an unusually calmer time for her in the Dales lately, even as she takes on a more supporting role in proceedings. \u201cYes, it\u2019s lovely, actually. It\u2019s kind of big sister mentality, which I love, and I haven\u2019t done that for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even Charity\u2019s relationship with husband Mack is in a good place. \u201cWe\u2019re on an even keel, it\u2019s quite good, it\u2019s quite comfortable, it\u2019s quite steady, it\u2019s quite functional \u2013 which is very<\/em> unheard of for Charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think that\u2019s allowed us all to have a bit of a breather, because we\u2019ve been blessed with two years of awesome, consistent stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
