In Emmerdale, Eric unexpectedly gets a new supporter in his fight against Parkinson's.

It's not easy for anyone to face a life-changing diagnosis, and that was certainly true for Eric Pollard in Emmerdale. Last year, he received the devastating news that he had Parkinson's disease, and it turned his world upside down. Since then, he's been struggling to adjust to his new reality, with symptoms like tremors, memory problems, and difficulty with balance.

In an upcoming episode, Eric has a run-in with Caleb Miligan, who is busy running his warehouse and sending out shipments on his fleet of trucks. The constant noise and traffic are taking a toll on Eric's already fragile state, so he decides to speak to Caleb about it. But Caleb doesn't take him seriously, brushing off his concerns without a second thought.

Frustrated and angry at being dismissed, Eric takes matters into his own hands and climbs into one of Caleb's trucks. However, without his medication and under a great deal of stress, his hand starts to tremble uncontrollably, causing him to crash into some crates. Later, when Caleb comes to the shop to warn Eric about interfering with his business, Eric is too embarrassed to admit that he was unable to control his tremors.

Realizing that he needs help, Eric turns to Caleb for a ride and ends up at Liam Cavanagh's house. Despite their constant bickering, Eric is grateful and emotional as he thanks Caleb for his kindness. But this is just the beginning of an unlikely friendship between the two men.

In the following week, Liam explains to Eric that his temporary paralysis was a result of not having access to his usual medication. Wanting to avoid causing any worry, Eric returns to work at the shop, surprising Caleb when he drops by later. As they chat, Eric shares his determination to not give up, and the two men start to realize that they have more in common than they thought, leading to the formation of an unlikely friendship.
