Mack initially played the long game by keeping quiet around Ross after his wife Charity had confessed all. However, when tensions reached boiling point, he confronted Ross and sparked a deadly showdown in a deserted barn. While the pair have since stayed out of each other’s way, they are set to meet for a crucial dialogue.

According to a village source, Mack has realised that it’s time for a truce, adding that Nobody needs to see him clashing with Ross every five minutes – least of all Charity, who’s been through enough in the past few months. Beyond household peace, practical matters dictate a cooling of tempers because Ross shares a parental bond with Moses.

Can Mack and Ross Rebuild Their Bromance or Just Keep Things Civil?
