Cathy couldn't believe what Bob was saying. The relationship between father and daughter, Bob Hope and Cathy Hope, was on the brink of collapse after Thursday's Emmerdale. Bob was blaming Cathy for the death of her brother Heath, and the facts made it seem like a logical assumption. It all started when Cathy stole her mother Wendy's car to drive herself, Heath, and Angelica King to a New Year party in Hotten.
Wendy and Bob set off in pursuit, eventually discovering the car had crashed at the side of the road. Angelica and Cathy had escaped with minor injuries, but Heath had not been so lucky. He had died of his injuries. Cathy insisted that it was Angelica who was driving the car at the time, and Wendy believed her. However, Bob was not so sure.
Nicola defended Angelica, pointing out that Cathy's behaviour had been erratic and dangerous in the past. Bob was still clinging to his opinion that Cathy had been at fault. He told Wendy that Cathy "has told lie after lie after lie". Of course, Cathy suffers from a condition called PMDD that causes her to have massive mood swings and the guitar incident was one of them, but Bob was too overwhelmed by his grief to take that into consideration.
At the crash site, Bob was still holding onto his accusation. It was then that Liam, who had also come to pay his respects, reminded Bob that Cathy also needed his support. He talked about his daughter Leanna's death and how he was so caught up in his own grief that he had neglected to realise other people were grieving too. He urged Bob to think about how his actions now could affect the rest of his life.
Bob knew that he had to go and see Cathy, and he eventually found her confronting Angelica. His mind immediately went back to the guitar incident and he accused her of bullying Angelica in order to get her to tell a lie. Cathy was horrified when Bob insisted that she was responsible for Heath's death, and she was left feeling helpless.
Have Cathy and Bob been torn apart forever? It certainly seems that way, for now. Tune into the next episode of Emmerdale to find out more.
