Pollard’s illness pushes him to the brink with shocking outcome in Emmerdale Eric Pollard’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s has seen ITV soap Emmerdale highlight how the symptoms impact his day to day life.
Towards the end of the week, Kerry pops by the shop to check on Pollard, but she’s alarmed to find matches and accelerants.
We saw this at the end of last year, when Doctor Liam (Jonny McPherson) explained the paralysis Pollard suffered was as a result of not taking his medication.
When Liam got nowhere with a determined Pollard, he got drastic and blocked Eric’s exit.
Backed into a corner, Eric admits that he’s going to burn down the shop for the insurance claim, hoping he can pay Brenda that way.
