Emmerdale fans floored as Bob finally chooses a side after Heath’s death – with brutal betrayal
EMMERDALE fans have been left floored as Bob Hope finally chose a side after Heath’s death.
The B&B owner was left devastated on Monday when his teenage son died following a car crash which also involved his twin sister, Cathy.
The teen twins had stolen Wendy’s car along with Angelica King before they lost control and crashed on a country road.
When Bob and Wendy arrived on the scene, Angelica and Cathy were bloodied and shocked outside the car, while poor Heath was dead in the backseat.
During Tuesday’s episode, the Cathy and Angelica were interviewed by police, and Cathy insisted she hadn’t been driving when the crash happened, Angelica had.
But when the accusation was put to her friend, Angelica denied it.
Tonight, Bob finally went to see his daughter, who sobbed and told her dad she had been telling the truth when she spoke to the police.
Bob hugged her and said he was on her side, before he and Brenda later headed round to the King’s house to speak to Angelica and try and get her to be honest.
But the schoolgirl was upstairs asleep, and her parents Jimmy and Nicola were quick to defend her, insisting she was the one telling the truth, not Cathy.
As the foursome discussed what had happened, Nicola told Bob and Brenda: “She attacked you not so long ago, got drunk and nearly fell off the bridge, broke the window at the B&B.”
She continued: “Look at what she’s like! Erratic, unruly, a proven liar. Your own granddaughter saw her driving off! What more proof do you need?
“I hate having to say it but she’s been out of control for months, and now Heath’s dead and you want someone else to blame, but I think you both know the truth deep down, and I’m not saying it out of spite.
“This is the worst thing that could have ever happened to you and I wish I could make things easier, but Cathy she made a mistake, a terrible, tragic mistake.”
Brenda was not happy by what she heard, but Bob suddenly spoke up and said: “No, she’s right. We do know what she’s like, how easily she lies…she’s done it again.”
As Bob appeared to have changed his mind about his daughter’s version of events, Emmerdale viewers took to X – formerly Twitter – to discuss it.
One hit out at the dad saying: “Oh Bob you silly man, Cathy is telling the truth. It’s so obvious that it’s Angelica that’s lying!!”
Another added: “I think Nicola knows the truth and is protecting Angelica. Can’t believe she gaslit Bob like that he just lost his son.”
A third tweeted: “Angelica has cuts on the right hand side of her head where it must have banged on the driver’s side of the car.”
Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
