Emmerdale’s Bob Hope has been lonely since Laurel Thomas – the woman he left wife Brenda for – dumped him.
He’s been miserable and fed up, and his money problems aren’t helping.
But next week there’s a glimmer of hope (ho ho) on the horizon when it looks like Brenda might be softening towards her cheating ex.
With nowhere else to go, Bob’s back home – though up until now Brenda has been very clear that it’s just for the sake of practicality.

But when the kids make it obvious that they want Bob and Brenda to get back together, Brenda’s adamant that’s never going to happen.
