Emmerdale's Lucy Pargeter, who is best known for playing the role of feisty landlady Chas Dingle on the ITV soap, has issued a message to fans as they repeatedly call for her "unbearable" character to be axed.
Lucy has held the role for two decades and is an integral part of the Dingle clan, however, Chas' behaviour and actions of late has lead to viewers wanting to see the back of her. Viewers have watched through gritted teeth the past few month as Chas has been cheating on fan favourite Paddy with bad boy Al Chapman.
But things came to an abrupt end as her lover got shot. It was understood that Cain was to blame as he pleaded guilty to Al’s murder and is currently facing a life sentence for the murder.

However it was revealed that Cain was innocent and it was in fact his 10-year-old son, Kyle who killed Al. No one in the village including Chas knows the truth however she has continued to blame Cain for her affair and lashes out at those close to her including husband Paddy.
Paddy Kirk, played by Dominic Brunt, is completely oblivious about Chas and Al's relationship and even though the affair is now over fans are still not happy with Chas' behaviour, with many even calling for the "unbearable" character to be axed.
Actress Lucy, who plays Chas has spoken out following the backlash she has received. Taking to Twitter, the soap star penned: "Just a little thank you from me and my @emmerdale family. Thank you for watching , enjoying and being so involved and invested in the stories we tell….
"And judging from many of your comments about Chas at the moment, I’d say it’s done what we strive to do get you talking." The comments section was quickly flooded with praise for the actress as fans commented on her acting skills and portrayal of Chas.
@AudreyW1805 penned: "Oh, you’re a hated woman at the moment!! But, that shows how good you are at your job!! Please go back to being nice Chas though!!" @kelwell16 agreed: "Yes many of us hate Chas because you are playing your part so well Lucy.
