Charity Dingle (previously Tate, Sharma, and Macey) is a fictional character from the British soap opera ''Emmerdale'', played by Emma Atkins. Suranne Jones originally auditioned for the role of Charity, before Atkins was cast. The actress began filming her first scenes in February 2000 and she made her first screen appearance as Charity during the episode broadcast on 30 March 2000. The character has been involved in numerous high-profile storylines during her time on the show, such as her marriage to Chris Tate (Peter Amory), an affair with Chris's sister, Zoe Tate (Leah Bracknell), the arrival of her long-lost daughter Debbie (Charley Webb), her affair with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), being framed by Chris for his death, giving birth to Noah (Jack Downham) and her uncaring relationship and subsequent break up with Tom King (Ken Farrington), which led to her exit in 2005. Atkins returned to the role in 2009. During her second stint in ''Emmerdale'', Charity's storylines have focused mainly on her relationship with Cain, from their almost-marriage to their get-rich-quick schemes, to her job working with Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) and Cain's mistaken belief that they were having an affair. After Charity and Cain's relationship broke down, she went on to marry Jai. They later divorced when Charity discovered he had fathered a child with Rachel Breckle (Gemma Oaten). Charity then married Declan Macey (Jason Merrells) and became pregnant. However, not wanting another child, Charity had a secret abortion. Atkins took maternity leave in February 2015, as Charity was sentenced to prison, returning briefly from June to July, before making a full time return in December 2015. ==Casting== 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.〔 Atkins attended the audition and was later recalled to do a screen test alongside Mark Charnock (who plays Marlon Dingle).〔 Two weeks later, Atkins was told she had won the role of Charity.〔 She began filming her scenes in February 2000 and made her first appearance in March.〔 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 in 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 temporary maternity leave from the show. Charity was written out of ''Emmerdale'' after receiving a prison sentence for perverting the course of justice.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charity Tate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
