Among the theories put forward by fans, the most prominent is the name Mackenzie Boyd – Charity’s legal husband.

Many viewers believe that, before the embryo transfer took place, Charity and Mackenzie had been intimate once.

If that is true, it is highly likely that Charity was pregnant before, and the transplant was just… an excuse.

A fan commented: “I think Ross is just a trap.

In fact, the baby is Mackenzie’s. The screenwriter is misleading us.” Many others agreed, saying that if this scenario becomes true, the drama will be even more intense.

Imagine: Mackenzie – who has always longed for a biological child – discovers that Charity is carrying his own blood. That joy can turn into pain when he realizes that the child was destined to be given to Sarah and Jacob. What will he do? Will he sacrifice his own child for the sake of a promise, or will he go against all odds to keep the child?

If Mack is really the father, the story will not only revolve around a secret love affair but also turn into a family tragedy, where father-son love, husband-wife love and the promise to his niece collide fiercely. This is the dense drama material that Emmerdale always knows how to exploit.
