Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb says he’s glad his character Mackenzie is causing extreme reactions.

Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb has revealed that he’s glad his character is upsetting fans.

In Lawrence’s current story, her character Mackenzie is cheating on Charity (Emma Atkins) with Chloe (Jessie Elland), who is also having her baby.

But while it has left some fans furious and they have mistaken the actor for the character, making their attacks on him personal, Lawrence shared that he knows strong opinions and reactions from viewers are a positive thing.

Talking with him Subwayhe said, “You need to take the hard and the soft with that kind of thing and just know that what you’re doing as a character is a good job, because it’s creating these reactions in viewers, so I guess that’s a good thing.”

He also opened up about his story, admitting that he was surprised at how it turned out after Noah stalked Chloe.

Lawrence said: “The irony is that Mackenzie was very involved in helping Noah get over it when he was involved in the bullying, and then he does what he does,” he said.

‘So yeah, it was surprising but juicy. I think when we finished the script of us sleeping together, I don’t think we knew it was going to end with a pregnancy. That was another bombshell that it’s really fun to play with that way and see how the characters deal with the arc of it all.

He explained that although he doesn’t support his character’s actions, he enjoys playing him and just does what’s written in the script, like all actors.
