Next week, Charity faces a baffling character shift, going from a perceptive detective to a clueless fool in just one week. Initially, Charity was convinced Tom was abusive. However, according to Emmerdale spoilers, she flips her stance entirely after just one fabricated story from Tom. Now, viewers call out the storyline for terrible writing and a frustrating disregard for character development.
Charity’s Character Takes A Nose-Dive
Fans are up in arms as Charity’s character suffers a dramatic decline. Just last week, Charity was sharp and perceptive, convinced that Tom was abusive. Viewers were quite impressed by her keen instincts, but then, the soap has Charity entirely flip her stance.
She falls for Tom’s fake sob story and believes every word he says. It’s as if all her previous insights and suspicions about Tom have vanished overnight. Now, in her eyes, Belle is seen as the ‘crazy’ one, and Tom is suddenly reasonable. What happened to Charity’s sharp instincts? It’s like the writers hit her with an ‘idiot stick.’
Now, Redditors are not holding back. One fan pointed out that although Charity recognised Tom’s type, she is still shockingly susceptible to it. They believe she hasn’t come as far as she thought and remains vulnerable to manipulative types. Another fan criticised the storyline as ‘just terrible writing.’
They claimed that it felt like the plot was forced. Some viewers compare it to reading a dry Wikipedia article. Adding to the frustration, the storyline seems to be following the same pattern as the one with Matty. Fans are tired of how the show picks and chooses what it wants to happen rather than delivering engaging writing.
The plot is making many loyal viewers lose interest, as they feel the characters lack agency and realistic development. Back in Dales, Vinny sees right through Tom. Another commentator summed it up by saying that Charity has been made to look foolish and battered since her involvement with Mack.
Instead of being the sharp, tough, and ‘shrewd’ character fans once knew, Charity now appears as perceptive as a ‘cowpat.’ Well, this makes it clear that the show must reassess its storytelling approach.
