ITV Emmerdale Mack star ‘looking forward to having a break’ due to ‘relentless’ schedule
Lawrence Robb has revealed that he's "looking forward to having a little break" as Mackenzie Boyd after a "relentless" eight months working on dramatic Emmerdale scenes
Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb is set to take centre stage in the ITV soap’s gripping storyline as Mackenzie Boyd finds himself in grave danger.
The villager will be abducted and held hostage over the Christmas period, paving the way for some dark episodes set to air over the festive season. Mack ends up rowing with on-off lover Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) in upcoming scenes and he warns her he won’t be back anytime soon.
He may regret his choice of words as he soon gets kidnapped and finds himself held captive in an abandoned factory. As Charity is convinced that Mack is still angry with her, there is a chance that she may not realise anything is wrong before it’s too late.
Speaking to Daily Star and other press, Lawrence said: “It’s been pretty relentless for about eight months. It’s great to be working and all three of us are counting our lucky stars to be involved in such a dramatic and dynamic trio of love and emotion but put it this way, I’m looking forward to having a little break. We’ve had the best time filming over the past eight months, it’s been great fun.”

Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw recently said: “The Charity/Mackenzie/Chloe love triangle has been bubbling away for 18 months or so now. At Christmas, we’ll see that reach a bit more of a crescendo, where Mackenzie pushes Chloe to her absolute limit.
“What we’ll see is Chloe reach out to her father for help. Obviously we know from previous stories that Chloe’s dad is not someone to be messed about with – he’s quite a dark character. We know that he was quite controlling with Chloe and that people are afraid of him. So obviously, when she reaches out to him, what we will see is him helping Chloe in his own unique way.”
