Why did Charity leave Emmerdale
Casting – Charity as she appeared in her first episode (2000) Actress Suranne Jones auditioned for the role of Charity, however it was Atkins who was eventually cast. The actress received the part while she was in her final year of a performing arts degree at Salford University.
- Her agent asked her if she wanted to audition for a role as a Dingle in Emmerdale and Atkins wondered whether she would be able to portray a member of that family, as she is so removed from those types of characters.
- The actress told Merle Brown of the Daily Record that the more her agent told her about the role, the more she thought she would enjoy playing it.

On 26 July 2004, Kris Green of Digital Spy reported Atkins had quit Emmerdale, claiming that it was time to move on. Of her decision to leave, Atkins said “I will be desperately sad to say goodbye to everyone but there are so many other roles that I would like to try and it’s important to me that Charity leaves on a high.” Atkins made her on screen departure on 1 March 2005.
On 18 March 2009, it was announced Atkins would be returning to Emmerdale as part of the ongoing overhaul of the show by series producer, Gavin Blyth, Of her decision to reprise her role, Atkins said: “Charity is a wonderfully complex character and an absolute joy to play.
I couldn’t resist the opportunity to explore a new era of Charity, Cain and Debbie and will relish seeing what she’s been up to since we saw her last.” Charity and her five-year-old son returned on 1 October 2009. Two months later, Digital Spy’s Kris Green reported Atkins had signed a six-month extension to her contract, keeping her with the show well into 2010.
On 20 January 2015, Atkins confirmed that she would be taking maternity leave from the show. Charity was written out of Emmerdale after receiving a prison sentence for perverting the course of justice. After a few brief returns throughout the rest of 2015, Charity returned permanently on 10 March 2016 when she was eventually released from prison.
