Emmerdale will explore Parkinson’s disease in an emotional storyline for Eric Pollard.
In Wednesday’s (November 1) episode, Pollard confided in Mandy that he’s been diagnosed with the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world.
While Mandy was ready to support Pollard, he swore her to secrecy over his condition because he remains intent on facing the future alone.
Future scenes will see Pollard grapple with the implications of his decision while also facing a huge relationship crisis with his partner Brenda.
