AN unsuspecting Bob Hope gets the shock of a lifetime next week after a massive discovery.
Heartbreak and betrayal are ahead for the Emmerdale B&B owner portrayed by Tony Audenshaw.
Bob Hope makes a shock discovery next week
He’s completely unaware Wendy is cheating on him
How will he react when he finds out?
Freshly single following his bitter separation from Leyla Harding, Liam Cavanagh (played by Jonny McPherson) seduced Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson) after they secretly agreed to collaborate on a murder mystery novel.
But while Liam may have nobody to answer to, Wendy has been sneaking around the village with the GP behind her own partner Bob’s back.
Unfortunately for her, someone is on to her little secret and, soon enough, Bob finds out the truth.
Victoria Sugden was the first to put two and two together, encouraging Wendy to hold off from her affair and do the right thing by Bob.
While she agreed to help Wendy keep the illicit romance under wraps, things went from bad to worse when Bernice Blackstock found a note from Liam, whose handwriting she immediately recognised.
The jig is up for Wendy and Liam next week on ITV and it all begins when the latter surprises her with a night away.
Wendy feels guilty as she calls Bob to let him know she’ll be going away.
Having had enough with what is going on behind his back, Bob is soon stunned when Bernice reveals Wendy and Liam are having an affair.
Unfortunately for her, Bob refuses to believe Bernice’s bombshell and instead lashes out at her.
Later, an apprehensive Wendy jumps in the car with Liam and Bernice watches them drive off in disbelief at how brazen they really are.
Out in the village, Bob checks in with Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) about Liam’s behaviour.
He’s stunned to learn Bear thinks Liam has a woman on the go and the news rings alarm bells – he heads off to make an urgent call.
Later on, an upset Bob reveals to Bernice he knows about the affair, as he has rung the hotel to confirm and, desperately sad, he mulls over his life.
However, viewers of the Yorkshire-based program will know it won’t be long before he finds comfort in the after of Bernice.
The pair nearly kissed earlier this year, just as Wendy and Liam spent their first night together in the GP surgery.
Bob held back from Bernice but with Wendy’s infidelity exposed, could he be convinced to take the bull by the horns and pursue the fiery redhead?
Or will he try to fix things with Wendy?
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
