Who is Mackenzie Boyd?
Mackenzie is the younger brother of Moira Dingle, making him Cain Dingle‘s brother-in-law. and uncle to Matty, Isaac and Adam – wherever he is.
He and Moira had a troubled past with Mack blaming his sister for their family problems.
He thought Moira had abandoned him as a kid, though as it turned out, things were different from how Mack remembered.
And he was keeping secrets of his own, having lied about their mum’s death meaning Moira missed out on the chance to say goodbye to her mother.
But the siblings seem to have put their troubles behind them now.
Are Moira and Mack related?
Though Natalie, who plays Moira, and Lawrence, share a surname, it’s just coincidence.
The pair aren’t related and met for the first time when Lawrence was given the role of Mackenzie.
Mack’s love life
Though Mack arrived in the village and promptly locked lips with Charity Dingle, for a while fans thought Mackenzie might hook up with Aaron Dingle.
There was certainly a lot of chemistry between the pair.
But instead, he got together with Charity for real and the couple are now official, with Mack seemingly totally loved-up.
Lawrence’s love life
Off screen Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb keeps quiet about his personal life, preferring to share pics of his siblings and family pets than any love interests.
