Lawrence Robb as Mackenzie Boyd in Emmerdale. (ITV)
Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb has admitted the writers haven’t decided what his character’s sexuality is just yet as fans accuse the soap of queerbaiting.
Robb plays Mackenzie Boyd on the long-running ITV soap opera. Recently, Mackenzie has been flirting with Aaron, leading fans to wonder if they’re going to hit it off.
However, Robb put fan speculation to bed in an interview with
Inside Soap, revealing that a firm decision has not yet been made on his character’s future.
“It’s interesting, as Sam asked him recently, ‘Are you gay?’ And Mack said ‘I can be whatever I want to be’, so he’s not really anything at the moment,” Robb said.
