Mackenzie in Emmerdale just isn’t overlaying himself in glory proper now. In reality, Charity summed it up fantastically when she referred to as him a “mendacity man youngster” in final evening’s episode.
Spot on, Ms Dingle. Spot on.
Although there are an entire host of disappointing males wandering spherical Emmerdale – Charles, Cain, Caleb, to call just a few – we reckon Mack’s the worst of the lot.
In reality, regardless of the lads in each cleaning soap behaving badly nearly on a regular basis, Mack’s giving them ALL a run for his or her cash. We reckon he’s probably the most poisonous man in cleaning soap.
And right here’s why.

Liar Liar
Mackenzie has advised so many lies now that we’re undecided he even is aware of what’s true any extra.
He spent months mendacity to Charity about Chloe and child Reuben. Then nearly as quickly as he was discovered, he flipped and began mendacity to Chloe as a substitute.
He’s nonetheless doing it – promising Chloe he doesn’t have emotions for Charity after they slept collectively only a few weeks in the past. We’re undecided now if he actually loves Chloe, or if he desires to be with Charity, or if he doesn’t actually love both of them. He’s simply mendacity non cease.
And the way proper she was! As a result of going hand in hand with Mackenzie’s tendency to – ahem – ’embroider’ the reality, is his whole disregard for being trustworthy. On the first signal of bother with Charity, he was falling into mattress with Chloe. After which as quickly as issues obtained a bit full-on with Chloe, he was again making eyes at Charity.
In reality, the ladies being so civil and understanding to at least one one other simply makes Mack look even worse, now. We didn’t know that was potential!

Gaslighting and manipulating
It’s a little bit of a stylish time period proper now however gaslighting is when somebody tells one other person who issues didn’t occur the way in which they remembered it. And it’s completely what Mack’s doing to poor Chloe.
And we do imply poor Chloe. As a result of she’s a really younger mum, who’s had a tough childhood and misplaced her sister (after which discovered Kerry Wyatt‘s her mum – that’s traumatic sufficient for anybody!) and is clearly determined for a household. And Mack might have been a youthful man for Charity, however he’s method older than Chloe. Which is icky sufficient, earlier than you get thinking about the way in which he’s manipulating her into doing what he desires. Which, proper now, is shifting a whole lot of miles away from Amy, who’s her solely household. Not nice, is it?

Catch of the day?
We don’t wish to make all of it about cash, however Mack’s hardly a superb supplier, is he? Admittedly he’s executed extra work for Cain this week than he’s executed within the final month, however usually talking, he barely bothers to get off his bum. Until it’s to splash some money on booze or (another) engagement ring. And the one jobs he’s had since he got here to Emmerdale got to him by his massive sister and her husband. He’s not screaming husband materials, is he? (And sure, we all know Chloe’s not labored both, however she’s not lengthy had a child – minimize her a little bit of slack.)

The entire A-Staff factor
It’s a bit trivial, admittedly, when in comparison with all the opposite causes we hate Mack, however we couldn’t miss this one out.
We’re undecided if it’s purported to be cute or humorous or what, however in our eyes Mack’s obsession with The A-Staff is method out of hand for a person of his age. Simply nope.
