Emmerdale has confirmed the death of Damon ‘Harry’ Harris (Robert Beck), who was accidentally shot by Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) earlier this week during a scuffle.
Damon, as viewers know, kidnapped and brutally tortured Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), determined to punish him over the fact that he chose to be with Charity instead of Chloe (Jessie Elland).
Chloe, however, was appalled by her dad’s cruelty and attempted to set Mack free but once Damon got wind of what she did he berated her, proceeding to take her back to the remote warehouse, where he intended to finish Mack off for good, with Chloe watching.
But little did he know that Charity, having spotted him in the village with Chloe, tailed the gansgter to the warehouse, where she witnessed the shocking showdown between Damon and Mack, with the former drawing a gun from his pocket and pointing it at the latter.
Charity, determined to protect her beloved Mackenzie, waded into the situation and grabbed the gun, with a subsequent scuffle ensuing as Damon tried to wrestle the weapon from Charity.
A shot was fired, however, with Damon falling to the floor.
Boxing Day’s offering of the ITV soap confirmed a tragic fate for the character, with Mackenzie confirming that he’s dead.
Chloe, however, resorted to shocking actions as she threatened to shop Charity to the police if Mack didn’t let her leave the village with Reuben in tow.
Mack was heartbroken but agreed, unwilling to let Charity face prison because of Chloe’s lies.
In devastating scenes, Mack shared one final goodbye with his beloved son before Chloe got in a taxi and left the village once and for all.
Damon’s death, meanwhile, brings to an end Robert Beck’s second stint on the ITV soap, with the actor having previously played Gavin, a boyfriend of Bernice Blackstock’s, during the late nineties.
