Emmerdale spoilers: Cathy runs out of her mock exam
Cathy has been having a rough time on Emmerdale, but she’s been keeping whatever is bothering her a secret.

Next week, we finally get an idea of what that might be when Cathy misses her mock exam.
In the cafe, Bernice tries to help Cathy with her revision for the big exam.
But Brenda is furious when Bernice leaves the cafe upset and offended by Cathy’s hurtful comments about the menopause.
Bob is at the end of his tether as he confronts Cathy about her behaviour.
But, when Heath butts in, Cathy loses it and violently smashes his guitar on the floor.
The next day, Cathy gets herself into more trouble as Bob and Brenda receive a call from Cathy’s school explaining that she’s run out of her mock exam.
But what could be making her so upset?
Cathy opens up to Bernice
After Cathy runs out of her exam, Bernice clocks Cathy hurrying towards Connelton.
Inside Connelton, Cathy is seen washing her skirt in the sink.
Opening up a little, Cathy explains that she feels ashamed of her heavy periods and claims that this is the reason why she missed her exam.
Bernice offers Cathy her support and makes Cathy promise to talk with Manpreet about ways to help manage her symptoms.
Cathy wishes she could tell Bob how she’s feeling but instead she lies to get him off her case.
The next day, Cathy is honest with Manpreet and gets the help that she needs as Manpreet writes her a prescription for the pill.
Cathy is relieved to finally put an end to her nightmare as she swallows her first pill.
But is it really over?
