Amy conveniently forgetting Chloe's isolation entirely of her own making by choosing to get revenge over the welling of her son.

[@Bruced82]

Except for most of the first nine months of her pregnancy, when Mack threatened Chloe to get out of his way, and just abort the kid.

[@aks7698]

@@Bruced82 Mack has been a loving and involved father to Reuben for the last 7+ months. What happened before he was born doesn't really matter anymore. Mack is constantly accused of being selfish, which he is, but Chloe is just as bad, if not worse. Chloe is deliberately is choosing to be vindictive and hurting her son in the process, but she doesn't care as all she thinks about is herself. Poor Reuben.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

@@aks7698 why is everyone blaming Chloe for everything trying to make out she is worse than Mack. Well excuse me but it wasn't Chloe who was attempting to snatch her child from the other parent arms now was it

[@Bruced82]

@@aks7698 Chloe is the only reason Reuben is alive right now, no, thanks to man child Mack. What happened before if of utmost importance, because an abortion like Mack would have wanted, is actually irreversible, while "going on a holiday with your kid" actually isn't (well aware it's not a holiday). Mack could have been supportive from the start, confessed to Charity immediately, taken responsibility, try to salvage it from there, then I would have given him more slack. Not his constant flavour of the week, whiplash flip-flops, where he just takes everything for granted.

[@aks7698]

@@cherrytraveller5915 In many aspects Mack is worse than Chloe, in others Chloe is worse than Mack. But this current situation of Chloe stealing Reuben away from his father and his extended family is entirely down to her. She didn't snatch Reuben from Mack's arms. but she may as well have done. She would rather be broke living in a pokey flat, or be on the run under a false identity without a support system than co-parent and have Reuben surrounded by his family. That doesn't sound like a good parent to make and makes her worse than Mack in this situation.

[@4884nat]

She ran off, she made herself homeless. That isn’t exactly putting your child first is it. You would rather spite you ex than keep a roof over your child’s head. I hate this storyline. Literally no one is putting the kid first, everyone is a tosser and it’s frustrating as hell.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

Wow then wait to you hear what people will do in real life. If she wanted to be spiteful (and this has happened in real life) she could have made some false claims of domestic abuse maybe a fake sexual assault claim. Her reactions so far have been remarkably calm and actually civil compared to other things I have seen in real time

[@abbieroseholden4174]

Mack deserves every bit of revenge on him always changing his mind and sleeping with everyone

[@stevendavies4210]

What ever Mack has done and the mistake’s he’s made and not thinking before speaking. He still doesn’t deserve that no parent deserves to have their kid kidnapped. And before you say Chloe didn’t kidnap Reuben yes she did she didn’t have. Mackenzie’s consent and Chloe still did a runner with Reuben.

[@cherrytraveller5915]

@@stevendavies4210 It isn't kidnapping when it is your own child. That is called parenting. And as they have already pointed out in the programme as long as she doesn't leave the country then it is no illegal.

[@terrortower666]

@@stevendavies4210Mack isn’t much of a father though is he? He pretty much abandoned his son to get back with Charity

[@merouanekhaznadji]

​@@terrortower666He didn't abandon his son. He's literally trying to get to see him ever since Chloe left. He got back with Charity because he loves her and not Chloe. That's not abandonning his son. He wants to see him again but not in a couple with Chloe

[@merouanekhaznadji]

​​@@cherrytraveller5915Are you seriously telling me that taking your child away from the father by biterness only because he doesn't love you is parenting ???

[@Bruced82]

I assume the Xmas dinner at Moira is cancelled... Good on Matty for finally seeing Mack's true colours, if he had been just a bit more patient and diplomatic, he could turn it around or even avoided this, but he just has to push everyone's buttons, and expects just everything to go his way... Also, where is the old Charity...it's getting absolutely silly now...

[@mariamzare4731]

Mack may be the devil himself, he may owe Chloe and everyone some big apologies but he is a good dad, he deserves to be part of Reuben's life. Out of everything he has done, nothing makes him not deserve to be a dad. Look what Nicky and Caleb did to Gabby, What nate and Moira did to Cain, What Chas did to Paddy and Aaron in the Carl era, did any of them really paid for those things in particular ? I don't think so. Mack is certainly not the worst in all emmerdale but for some reason you guys think he deserves hell. You're saying Chloe is in her rights taking Reuben, Mack is too if he wants different women every night doesn't make it right. Chloe is only doing this to punish him it is not right. People need to get it. Chloe is not in some sort of danger and needs to stay away, she is childish and wants revenge. She is doing all of it to herself. Chloe may have been a victim of Mackenzie but now she is exchanging the roles. Amy is in no place to give Mack a lesson when she is ten times worse, she needs to stop portraying Chloe as a victim. Remember when you were all saying Gabby needed to move on even tough she was right, she has been wronged. well same here, Chloe needs to move on even tough she has been wronged.

Chloe being homeless really Wow ok what about that secret apartment she was in with Reuben all this time

That was a good one finally someone gets to do something I can't

[@sarahstewart7923]

At one point I liked all of these characters but this storyline has destroyed everyone it touches.

[@Bruced82]

It's not just these ones, the show runners seem hell-bent on making many characters insufferable or irredeemable, or don't know what to do with them.

Hopefully both Mack and Marty will have another showdown fight soon on Christmas Day and after both sue each others to court.

[@mockingbird1353]

I loathe that everyone's making Mac look like the good guy in this situation after all he's done. And his silly little partnership with Charity is so lame, please she can do so much better

[@tirsus1482]

So Chloe doesn't have Matty's number? She could've called or texted to him. 🤷‍♀ There's no need to blame Charity. It's all on Mack. And no one didn't force Chloe to leave. Even tho violence isn't the answer, go Matty! Mack deserved that.
