Emmerdale star teases Mackenzie's death as 'dangerous' John takes action

One star has teased it could be game over for their character on the soap in a brutal death twist.

Mackenzie Boyd has been teased to be killer John Sugden's next victim for a while now, with fans convinced he's on his hit list. Now Mack actor Lawrence Robb has had his say on whether the storyline could lead to his character's demise, amid new spoilers teasing John will be in pursuit of Mack next week.

It seems the actor thinks like viewers that Mack could face a grim end, as he would "absolutely" be John's next victim if he was to kill again. Lawrence told The and other press that Mack would be at the top of the "hit list" if John "spiralled", with him suggesting Mack's life could be in "jeopardy" thanks to "dangerous" John.

He explained: "The thing is with John, he obviously killed Nate [Robinson] but he didn’t do it intentionally. Could he go all the way with Mackenzie? I absolutely do think so.

"If John were to fall into that kind of spiral of being a serial killer, Mackenzie would be right at the top of that list. So on that basis, Mackenzie’s life is in jeopardy." Lawrence also addressed the fan speculation over Mack's possibly grim fate, after a flashforward teased danger.

He told us: "The audience know what John is like, so they’ll be worried for Mackenzie. I don’t think Mackenzie has seen the threat that John is, at this stage, so if there is a warning from John it’s not heeded by Mackenzie.

"If anything, it spurs him on. I don’t think anybody really knows how dangerous John is. If Mackenzie did, I think he would probably tread more carefully."

Speaking of the flashforward scene, that shows Mack running panicked through the woods, Lawrence has confessed it still hasn't been filmed. While he knows small details about a looming "life-changing" storyline for Mack and Aaron Dingle, the clip from the future still isn't explained.

He teased: "We haven’t filmed that yet. I know it’s intrinsically linked to the big story about Mackenzie and Aaron, but that’s all I know at the minute." The big story, teased by Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw to The Mirror and other press, will take place in August or September, with filming yet to begin.

Laura had also told us that Mack's flashforward was still to air, teasing it would be linked to their huge storyline that will feature across a big week of episodes. They're even building a special set for the episodes, no doubt sparking suspicion a stunt is on the way.

Lawrence also told us he'd love it to be Mack that lives to tell the tale and exposes killer John.

He said: "I would love that, but that’s not up to me. I guess it would be nice because from the get-go Mackenzie didn’t like John, but it’s up to the powers that be."

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on , , , , , and .
