Emmerdale legend Lucy Pargeter has shared wedding hopes for her character Chas Dingle and Liam Cavanagh – and teased that there could be trouble on the horizon.

Chas and Liam rekindled their relationship last year and are now engaged, but both characters have faced life-threatening situations in recent months.

Speaking exclusively to us at a photoshoot for the Inside Soap Awards 2025, Lucy told us that while things are plain sailing for the pair for now, there is bound to be drama around the corner.

“I love Chas and Liam together,” Lucy said. “He makes her calm and brings her some peace. And he’s got a great bromance with her brother Cain too!

“Who knows what the future holds for them? You can never get too comfortable. Something’s going to have to happen to them. But at the moment, they’re doing pretty well.”

Viewers know that Chas and Liam were meant to get married earlier this year, but they decided to push back their wedding – then gave their slot to Aaron and John instead.

We asked Lucy about when the couple’s postponed nuptials might take place, and while she remains uncertain, she has one wish about the big day.

“I don’t know!” she laughed. “Please let’s film their wedding in the summer so we don’t have to be out in the freezing cold.

“Maybe they should elope so we could go on location? The Dingles went to Spain years ago while I was off on maternity leave and I just missed out.”

The Dingles are nominated for Best Family at the Inside Soap Awards this year, and Lucy is honoured to have been part of this iconic clan for over 20 years.

“Everyone can relate to the Dingles,” Lucy told us. “There’s always a Dingle on your street or in your family, so I think that’s what makes them quite popular.

“I think we bring quite a lot of ourselves to the family, so I think we’re either morphing into the Dingles or we’re just getting more comfortable with each other. But it’s incredible, I don’t want to be a part of any other family.”

Chas also played a key role in the show’s dramatic limo crash earlier this year, which is up for Best Showstopper at the awards.

“The limo crash – that was freezing!” Lucy reflected. “It was night shoots, and it was long, long nights of cold. But it was brilliant, it was like being on a night out. By the end of it, we were delirious, and we were fed like queens. We had about six or seven meals, so it was great!”

Asked why Emmerdale deserves fans’ support in the Best Soap category this year, Lucy said: “I think people vote with their heart, and with what they’ve connected with the most. So if you’ve connected with anything, or if you’ve enjoyed watching, that’s the reason you should vote!”
