Vanessa and Charity on Emmerdale on August 7, 2025 / ITV
Emmerdale served up a surprise twist tonight as Charity (Emma Atkins) rekindled her relationship with Vanessa (Michelle Hardwick).
After losing the surrogate baby she was carrying for granddaughter Sarah (Katie Hill), Charity got drunk as her relationship with Mack (Lawrence Robb) grew increasingly volatile.
Calling upon old girlfriend Vanessa, Charity was invited to stay the night – but her old flame was taken aback when Charity pulled her in for a kiss.

Emmerdale continues weekdays from 7am on ITVX and at 7.30pm on ITV1.
