What happened in Emmerdale tonight: Smug Tom got a win and Pollard devastated Brenda multiple times
Eric has destroyed everything
Emmerdale tonight saw Brenda Walker left distraught over and over again by Eric Pollard as he finally accepted he’d been scammed. And then she made a big decision about their future.
Meanwhile, Tom was smug when he called Angelica and realised she was on his side. How will he use this to his advantage?
Here’s everything that happened in Emmerdale tonight.
Brenda stood by Pollard – despite him breaking her heart in Emmerdale tonight
Brenda had decided they were in this together, but Eric was still kidding himself that he could sort it all out. He soon realised he couldn’t when he found out his advisor’s number was no longer in service. They have been scammed. And the police can’t do anything because Pollard invested the money of his own free will.
Brenda was devastated, especially as Eric tried to placate her by saying at least they had a roof over their heads. But Brenda pointed out the deeds were in his name and everything she has worked all her life for was gone.
Knowing he needs to make it right, Pollard decided his only resort was to sell the shop. But Brenda was more concerned with whether he only proposed because he was hyped up on his meds and Eric confessed that was very possible. She was once again distraught.
But later she insisted she was not leaving and she would support him every step of the way through his Parkinson’s. Although as Brenda is actually leaving, we all know that isn’t going to happen!
Tom won Angelica over in Emmerdale tonight
Angelica was heading back to school and all was happy in the King household now Tom was out of their lives. But Angel insisted Tom was still family.
Tom phoned home and discovered he was calling Angelica and not his uncle Jimmy. But he was also relieved to hear Angel was on his side as he reeled her in and told her they would keep speaking. Smug Tom was filled with glee when he realised he had someone else to manipulate.
Also in Emmerdale tonight…
Caleb took Anthony’s side
Ross and Steph got flirty in the Hide, but then Anthony arrived. Steph decided to fight his corner with Ruby again after she learned Ruby was ignoring Anthony. Anthony then managed to manipulate Caleb into taking his side too.
Steph and Caleb confronted Ruby (who was making her own Christmas wreath – not sure this is something Ruby would do), who was most hurt by her husband’s interference.
Ross was under pressure – as Mack gloated
Ross went to see Charity, but encountered Mack instead. He wanted to pick Moses up after school and take him for a burger. But it turns out Moses has a VERY active after school social calendar with a birthday party and then bowling and then a sleepover at a mate’s.
Mack smugly told him he and Charity would be spoiling Moses this Christmas – but Ross still has no idea exactly how Mack got the money. Meanwhile, Mack splashed the cash on Charity’s Christmas presents wanting to spoil her rotten.
Elsewhere, Ross was feeling the pressure when both April and Jade rounded on him in the pub. April wanted to know why he’d ignored her since he’d been home and Jade wanted answers over her missing money.
Cut to Mack giving the cash to Amy for Chloe and Reuben. But he doesn’t want to see any pictures or know anything because it’s too hard being apart from his son. Probably should have remembered he had one, then shouldn’t he?
