TIMES get increasingly tough for many residents of the Dales and some choose to move on to greener pastures as a result.
One Emmerdale icon makes this decision in scenes airing next week, leaving many residents in tatters.
One villager decides it’s bst for them to leave Emmerdale
Bob Hope has had a lot on his plate in recent weeks
His daughter Cathy was diagnosed with a troubling condition
Village stalwart Bob Hope took on a new business venture with Bernice Blackstock by taking over Eric Pollard’s B&B.
And while his risk has been fruitful, things within his home haven’t gone as well.
Recent scenes have shown him trying to cope with his daughter Cathy Hope’s mood swings and dangerous outbursts.
After taking out much of her anger on him, leading to the character getting hurt, the teen portrayed by Gabrielle Dowling decided to run away.
But in scenes due on ITV next week, Cathy does things the right way and leaves the eponymous village with a heartfelt goodbye to those closest to her.
Coming up, she first assures her father, played by Tony Audenshaw, that he is being the best possible father by letting her go.
The father-daughter duo make peace with her upcoming departure and shortly after, everyone says tearful goodbye to Cathy.
Could Bob and her brother Heath follow her?
Regular viewers of the Yorkshire-based drama will remember that Cathy’s mercurial moods are due to a recent premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) diagnosis.
The probability of her having the condition was first mentioned by local GP Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) to whom Cathy opened up to.
Her ordeal began with having heavy periods and getting caught by Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) skipping school altogether.
Cathy made her first appearance in the village on the day of her birth, February 9, 2007.
While she stood on the side-lines for most of her life, she was most notably involved in April Windsor’s bullying ordeal in 2021.
Soap bosses then teased Cathy would be at the core of a never-before-seen storyline – but is it meant to end with her leaving Emmerdale?
Viewers can rest assured as Cathy WILL be returning to the village.
But how will it play out?
Tune in to ITV on weeknights from 7.30pm.
