Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) is broken over an emotional apology letter from Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes) in Emmerdale.
The troubled teen was recently sent down for eight months after crashing the car that killed Bob’s son Heath (Sebastian Dowling) on New Year’s Eve.
Alongside Heath’s twin Cathy (Gabrielle Dowling), the youngsters decided to steal Wendy Posner’s (Susan Cookson) car and drive to a party in Hotten.
Unfortunately, after losing control of the vehicle, Heath lost his life and Cathy took responsibility for the accident.
Initially, Bob was in turmoil over the thought of one of one child’s actions causing the other to lose their life.
Meanwhile, Angelica’s parents Jimmy and Nicola King (Nick Miles and Nicola Wheeler) swore her to secrecy, but after seeing the anguish it was causing on the village she forced herself to come clean.
After learning she was being sent to a youth detention centre for eight months, Angel seemed almost at ease with the idea and looked into the learning opportunities she could embark on whilst locked up – though Nicola had deeper concerns for her wellbeing.
In tonight’s (14th March) episode, Bob received a letter from Angel, pouring her heart out for forgiveness over the incident.
‘A bit of her died too’, Bob read.
Cathy broke down in tears as Bob wished he could turn back time to when the kids were younger and attending each other’s birthday parties.
Admitting that although he would struggle to make peace going forward, he knew that Heath would want him to.
