Emmerdale's Chas Dingle will suffer from a case of the jilt jitters this Christmas.
The vengeful brunette – played by Lucy Pargeter – had planned to leave
cheating fiance Carl King (Tom Lister) at the alter after discovering
he'd been enjoying a steamy affair with Eve Jenson (Suzanne Shaw).
However, when the pair experience a saucy night of passion the night
before their nuptials, Chas has second thoughts about leaving the
businessman high and dry.
Lucy explained: "Chas is having massive doubts about her revenge plot.
She's seriously thinking about going through with the wedding. She's in
love with him and thinks he genuinely loves her too.
"What makes it even more confusing is that she and Carl sleep together
the night before the wedding. Chas knows he's finished with Eve, and
just wishes the wedding was all true and that she was going to be happy
from now on.
"Chas has forgiven Carl before and feels as though they're meant to be together – so she could possibly get past this."
However, the bolshie bride-to-be isn't the only member of the wedding
party suffering from last-minute nerves, as Carl is terrified his
scorned former mistress will ruin his big day.
Actor Tom Lister – who plays Carl – added to Inside Soap magazine:
"Carl is worried sick that Eve will destroy the day and he could well
be right. She's very capable of it.
"A bit of Carl is panicking. He didn't want to hurt Eve, but she's just
not Chas. As time goes on, he's realising just how much he loves Chas."
