Spoilers: Pollard confesses to Victoria what he did and hurt Vic decides to use it to her advantage

In Emmerdale spoilers for next week, Eric Pollard confesses to Victoria Sudgen that he was responsible for her firing from The Hide.

This comes in the aftermath of Pollard’s blackmailing of Jai Sharma. After initially teaming up with Jai to force Amit out of the village, Pollard then turned the tables on Jai.

After demanding free food and drink from the businessman, he then forced him to fire Victoria from The Hide in revenge for her treatment of his son, David, and her affair with Jacob.

Reeling from the betrayal, Victoria decides to use Pollard’s confession to her advantage.

What will she do… and will Pollard go along with it?

Brenda pressures guilty Pollard

Brenda was shocked a few weeks ago to find out what Pollard had been up to, blackmailing Jai. But she is more than horrified to discover that’s not all when Eric tells her that he was responsible for Victoria being fired from her job at The Hide. Appalled at this revelation, she orders him to go and make amends with Victoria immediately.

This Pollard tries try to do, by offering her a job in the shop. Victoria gratefully accepts the new role. However, Brenda is horrified to find that he gave her a job without coming clean about his involvement in her firing.

Can she convince Pollard to do the right thing?

Furious after the humiliation of being jobless and penniless, Victoria unloads on guilty Pollard. He tries to excuse his behaviour and explain his recent decision-making, but Victoria is too hurt to listen.
