The Emmerdale hunk is left alone in an abandoned building and tortured as it becomes clear someone is after him.
Lawrence Robb‘s troublesome character has been wreaking havoc all throughout the eponymous ITV village and viewers have lost all sympathy for the treacherous heartthrob.
In recent months, Mackenzie Boyd has stooped to several lows, including infidelity and leaving the mother of his own son, Chloe Harris, to die in a horrific car crash after promising her a happy marriage and family life.
But in more recent instalments of the long-running show, Mackenzie has been a shell of himself since he was separated from Reuben and, in scenes airing next week, he storms out after an argument with a wound up Charity.
As he leaves, Mack insists he won’t be back for a while, leaving the Woolpack landlady in the dark about what his next step will be.
Soon enough, however, an unresponsive Mack sits bound to a chair in an abandoned factory, seemingly unbeknownst to anybody.
Who could have dragged him there and what are their plans?
Will Charity try to find Mackenzie or assume he has wandered off with another mystery woman?
As regular viewers of the Yorkshire-based drama will remember, Chloe (Jessie Elland) miraculously survived the car crash Mack had left her to perish in favour of another woman.
Sadly, happiness wasn’t in the cards for Chloe as Mack ended their relationship once he became fully aware of how much he still loved Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins).
Chloe vowed revenge after finding the pair in a loving embrace on Main Street and slapped Charity in the face.
She then decided to take baby Reuben away from the Dales to a place Mackenzie would never find him with a little help from her sister Amy Wyatt (Natalie Ann Jamieson) and her partner Matty Barton (Ash Palmisciano).
