What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Eric gambled his life away and Angelica started to scheme

Emmerdale tonight saw Eric lose everything as his crypto currency gamble fell apart, as Brenda realised her account had been cleaned out, too.

And instead of ‘fessing up to his wife-to-be, Pollard decided to gamble even more. Will he end up regretting it?

Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale on Monday December 2.

Pollard lost everything in Emmerdale tonight

Eric was confused when the increase in crypto wasn’t showing on his account and tried to get hold of his advisor. And when he wasn’t available, Eric started to worry – only to fret even more when Noah admitted he’d only invested £100 in crypto because he was too sensible to risk losing more.

Later, Brenda found a wedding dress, but when she went to pay for it with her savings, her card was declined. Confused, she told Leyla her account had thousands in it and headed off to phone the bank.

But as she reached number nine in the queue to speak to someone, she got home and filled Eric in. He told her it was a technical glitch and said it would be sorted.

In desperation Eric turned to the racing pages of the newspaper, hoping to win back the money he’d lost, when he was interrupted by Liam who clocked him taking cash from the till.

Liam returned to hear Eric placing the bet and warned him that his medication could make him act recklessly.

Eric confessed to Liam that he’d lost the cash, and had secured a loan on his house. Liam begged him to come off the medication, but Pollard insisted he was going to the bookies and threatened to call the police!

Brenda was devastated!

Back home, Eric returned triumphant with Brenda’s wedding dress. But it turned out Liam had got to Brenda first and explained what her husband was up to. And she’d spoken to the bank and found out the truth about what had happened to her savings.

A clearly devastated Brenda asked her fiancé what he was thinking, blowing her life savings. Eric tried to get round her by showing her his winnings because his horse had come in. But Brenda wasn’t listening. She told Eric his betrayal was so deep, she couldn’t get over it!

Also in Emmerdale tonight…

Tom’s family deserted him – or did they?

Meanwhile, Jimmy fibbed to Nicola that he was going to the yard, but instead he was worrying about how to respond to an email about Tom in prison. Tom wanted to add Jimmy to his contacts.

Nicola wasn’t impressed by Jimmy’s lies and she really wasn’t happy about him considering visiting his nephew. She told her husband in no uncertain terms to get the prison to take them off Tom’s list of contacts.

But later, Angelica filled in the form herself. Is she planning to visit her evil cousin?

Chas came clean in Emmerdale tonight

Elsewhere, Liam told Cain about his romance with Chas and was relieved when Cain gave his approval. But Cain was still grumpy and stressed holding things together at the farm and the garage and he really didn’t want to celebrate his 50th birthday!

Ruby got a shock

Steph begged Ruby to give Anthony a chance, so Ruby confronted her dad and demanded proof of his cancer diagnosis.

She was taken aback when Anthony showed her the proof she wanted, and realised he was telling the truth.
