Eric Pollard’s (Chris Chittel) health is on the decline in Emmerdale.
He’s been slowly deteriorating for months, but his pride has stopped him from seeking any kind of help – even when Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) has offered it on a plate.
This time around, Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) notices Pollard isn’t doing so well with his Parkinson’s and offers to assist, but he refuses to accept it.
He still wants to believe he can cope alone, which is so far from the truth. His illness is advancing and he’s beginning to struggle with day-to-day life.
His choice to turn down Tracy’s offer of help is met with instant regret when he suffers a nasty fall. With no one around to come to his aid, Pollard is left to languish, with fears he won’t be found before it’s too late.
Thankfully, at the eleventh hour, someone comes to his aid and he wakes up in hospital with no memory of what happened.
It’s a defining moment for Pollard as Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) and Kerry urge him to finally accept help at home.
He feels insulted and patronised and rebuffs their suggestion, but as everyday tasks become a mountain, Kerry chooses to ignore him and arranges for home help herself.
Eric is still determined to go it alone but suffers another nasty fall. Can Kerry save him before it’s too late?
