Emmerdale SPOILER: Kidnapped Mackenzie leaves ex Chloe torn as he begs her to save his life in dramatic scenes
Emmerdale's Mackenzie Boyd will beg ex Chloe Harris to save his life in upcoming scenes after he was kidnapped by her gangster dad.
The battered and bloodied character (played by Lawrence Robb) was found tied to a chair in a disused factory as he was pressured to give up all rights to son Reuben.
Chloe was taken to Mackenzie by her father (Robert Beck) and was left stunned as he sat blindfolded, gagged and injured.
Desperate, he pleads with his former lover (Jessie Elland) and the mother of his child, who despite her best efforts to look threatening, is left torn.
What will she do next?

It comes after soap stars Lisa Riley and Danny Miller paid tribute to actor Steve Halliwell following his death at the age of 77.
The soap star, best known for his role as Zak Dingle, died peacefully in a hospice surrounded by his family, ITV revealed last week.
Steve was the second longest serving cast member in Emmerdale after joining the cast in 1994. He played the head of the household in Dingle and was involved in several explosive storylines with his wife-to-be Lisa Dingle (Jane Cox).
Steve's co-stars were quick to pay tribute, with Lisa Riley – who played his on-screen daughter Mandy Dingle – sharing on Instagram: 'My dearest Steve… I love you so much that you are finally at peace. Thank you for laughing for years, you laughed until the end.
'Adored, loved and respected by us all, a LEGEND in my eyes, that's for sure: we have stories and memories that will last for many years to come.
'Sleep well Stevie – our prayers of strength go to Charlotte, Val and Angelina at this very difficult time… our extended family “That boy from Bury did well” #dingle #family #restinpeace #love #legend #memory #rip @emmerdale # emmerdale.'
As Emmerdale shared the news on their Instagram account, Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Livesy, said: 'We will miss you Steve. Rest in peace my friend
James Hooton, who has played Steve's on-screen son Sam Dingle since 1995, also paid tribute.
He tweeted: 'A soap icon and a good friend passed away today!
