ITV Emmerdale’s Wendy Posner set for steamy surgery romp – and it’s not with Bob Hope
BOB Hope and Wendy Posner renewed their commitment to one another by moving into the local B&B together.
But in a shocking twist, the Emmerdale nurse cheats on her long-term partner in scenes due to air on ITV.
Wendy Posner made a thunderous arrival in the eponymous Dales in July, 2019, ready to confront Victoria Sugden over the rape allegation she’d made against her son Lee Posner.
Revenge, death and blackmail have all made Wendy’s life in the village a nightmare but after finding Bob Hope and finally getting rid of her treacherous husband Russ, she was able to enjoy a quieter life.
Recently, a mix-up at the B&B led her to believe Bob (played by Tony Audenshaw) was cheating on her with Bernice Blackstock but it was, thankfully, cleared up and all returned to normal for the pair.
But according to actress Susan Cookson, the humdrum lifestyle she’s had with Bob is slowly getting to her character.
Speaking to The Sun and other press, she said: “[Bob] declared his love for her, he asked her to come live at the B&B, she’s moved in so it’s become very committed but as time has gone on, she’s realised it’s quite linear.”
However, excitement is on the way – along with huge love triangle drama.
In upcoming weeks, Wendy will find herself in the local GP surgery, wearing fancy dress and drinking champagne with one of her colleagues – Dr Liam Cavanagh.
The pair will share an intimate moment… which will eventually escalate into a steamy romp in the surgery.
Actor Jonny McPherson explained how his on-screen alter ego and Wendy will end up sleeping together, before facing the harsh consequences the following day.
“So it’s [in] the surgical bed, basically. I think we cut to the next morning and there’s a champagne bottle waking up Wendy – everyone’s looking a bit worse for wear.”
“There was a directed note, ‘Wendy gips’, she says hello and then gips”, Susan Cookson added.
While Liam Cavanagh is a free agent following the breakdown of his marriage with Leyla Harding, Wendy will be awash with guilt at the thought of cheating on Bob Hope.
Susan teased: “she feels terrible because she does love Bob.”
“She’s devastated about that and basically, she tells Liam that this has to stop.”
“This was a moment’s madness it was great fun but she is in a deep, meaningful relationship with Bob and it has to stop.”
But a headstrong Liam will make it clear he has no intention of letting Wendy go without a fight.

Liam has been put through the wringer in recent years, from losing his daughter Leanna to supporting Leyla through her dangerous addiction to cocaine, and it’s time for him to recover by delving into a secret passion – which he will be sharing with Wendy.
But what could it be?
Both characters have more in common than originally thought – could it make their budding connection even stronger?
“They’ve definitely got more in the way of shared interests. Because Leyla, she’s weddings and nails… the cocaine”, Jonny explained.
“And Wendy’s very kind. And the empathy… They’ve both lost a child so there’s that”, Susan added.
The Wendy star also reminded that Liam is one of the only people in her life who know one of her biggest secrets, which is bound to bring them closer to one another.
“There is a little bit more to Wendy for Liam, because he knows about her past with her husband and her drug problem. She went to prison for a year because of her husband.”
“And there always seems to be this confusion with the public that Wendy is not a qualified nurse and she is. But she qualified under a different name.”
“When Russ turned up and blackmailed her, she went to Liam to do the right thing by handing in her notice.”
But as regular viewers will remember, Liam refused to throw Wendy’s potential away and promised to keep her secret safe.
Will Bob find out how deep their connection really is?
Or will he be too distracted by his own upcoming fling with Bernice Blackstock to even pay any attention?
