Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially if she’s in Emmerdale.
Soap fans watched heartbroken as Brenda Walker discovered Bob Hope was cheating on her with Laurel Thomas earlier this week, but were left confused when she seemingly kept the information to herself and carried on with her everyday life.
However, actress Lesley Dunlop has revealed that there is a method to Brenda’s madness.
And Laurel should watch out as Brenda is planning a long and cruel form of revenge by bringing her closer than ever and making her feel as guilty as possible.
Speaking to press at a recent press day, Lesley explained: “Brenda keeps her discovery to herself because it hurts so much.

“She also loves Bob so much and she would rather have him than not have him.
“Brenda genuinely thinks it’ll just go away.
“It’s been really hard, because Bob told her it was a one-night stand with somebody who he used to work with, and it’s obviously not.
“Brenda is just trying to deal with it, but because he’s said he will marry her, she thinks obviously he’s committing to her.”
However, her heartbreak will soon turn to revenge when Brenda lets the anger in.
Asked about whether Brenda is angry, she said: “Oh yeah! It’s a double betrayal.

“She doesn’t know how to deal with it, she just thinks once she’s married, it’ll all just go away.
“She just desperately wants to believe him when he tells her that Brenda’s the only one again.
“Brenda thinks that all he wants is to be with her and she really just wants it to work.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
