Eric Pollard’s desperate plan discovered as his Parkinson’s pushes him to the brink in Emmerdale
Meanwhile, Amy leaves Matty speechless after talking about the possibility of adoption
ERIC Pollard’s desperate plan is exposed as his battle with Parkinson’s disease drives him to the edge in Emmerdale.
Next week in Emmerdale, Kerry gently coaxes Pollard into admitting that he feels he’s failed Brenda by not selling the shop and repaying her life savings.
Kerry assures him that Brenda would prefer to wait for her money rather than see him push himself to the brink with his condition.
Despite her words, Kerry remains unaware of the extent of Pollard’s internal struggle.
Later in the week, Kerry is shocked to find matches and accelerants in the shop.
Backed into a corner, Pollard confesses that he’s planning to burn down the shop to claim the insurance money and repay Brenda.
Kerry argues that arson is not a victimless crime, but she hesitates to reveal the deeper reasons behind her plea.
Can Kerry find a way to convince Pollard to abandon his desperate plan?
Meanwhile, looking after Frankie makes Amy yearn for her own child.
When Moira realises Amy’s feeling broody, she encourages her to pursue the idea.
Hesitant at first, Amy gains the confidence to speak to Matty about the possibility of adopting.
When Amy broaches the subject with Matty, he’s left speechless, unsure how to react to such a big proposal.
Amy, nervous and hoping for a positive response, tries to soften the conversation, but Matty ends it abruptly, leaving her feeling guilty and uncertain.
Now, Amy can only hope that, in time, Matty will come around and consider the possibility of starting a family together.
But will Matty’s hesitation put an end to Amy’s dream?
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and is available to watch from 7am on ITVX.
