Emmerdale viewers are convinced Mackenzie Boyd's downfall has been sealed.
The character, played by Lawrence Robb, has desperately tried to keep his affair with Chloe Harris under wraps. Mack has tried to move on and has married his partner, Charity Dingle.
However, things were complicated after Chloe became pregnant after her fling with Mack. She gave birth to baby Reuben last month and was planning to move to Scotland after she was struggling with pressures of single parenthood.

The move was postponed in tonight's dramatic show when baby Reuben was struck with illness. The child was taken to hospital and diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.
Mack was concerned and visited the hospital to see his son. However, the nurse turned him away as he only claimed to be a friend of the family rather than the baby's dad.
Viewers following the show on Twitter are convinced Mack will soon be forced to tell the truth as they speculated he may be needed as part of the baby's treatment.

Momo added :"I bet the baby is going to need blood and hers don’t match but it has to be from the father
