Emmerdale has always been renowned for its unfaltering, tireless charity campaigns, with many of the stars regularly taking time out of their busy schedules to get involved in whatever they can to help raise money for good causes.

Emmerdale actress, Kelli Hollis, is a shining example of this!  Patron of the charity Ruddi’s Retreat, Kelli has helped arrange and organise a huge and wide selection of events to help raise money for this very worthwhile and humble charity.

When Val Pollard (Charlie Hardwick) upped and left her husband Eric and took off to Portugal for months, the hard-nosed Geordie expected to simply waltz back into the village and take up where she left off…

But of course, while she was away – having also cleared out Eric’s bank account – Eric began a relationship with Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop), who, though arguably not as exciting as Val, was a calm and steadying influence in the Pollard household.

However, Eric and Val have once again been growing closer as they share the common interest of their foster daughter Amy’s (Chelsea Halfpenny) welfare, and of course, Brenda can see that, and she believes that Eric still loves Val.

So, when Brenda spots Val kissing Eric in a forthcoming episode, she decides to take the hint, and so she gathers up her things from Eric’s house and tells him it’s over… Read more & comment »

Oh dear, it seems that fake relationships can be just as stressful as real ones, as Emmerdale’s Alicia Gallagher and David Metcalfe are starting to discover.

And things are set to get much, much worse tonight when a disapproving Eric Pollard sticks his nose in and causes the couple even more grief with Alicia’s ex, Justin. Read more & comment »

Fans of Emmerdale will of course know that Val and Eric Pollard have split up because she bogged off to Portugal for weeks, clearing out Eric’s bank accounts in the process, and he found new love with Brenda Walker…

However, Val’s determined to win Eric (Chris Chittell) back, and equally as determined to win back the heart of foster daughter Amy Wyatt (Chelsea Halfpenny) who has made no secret of how much she disapproves of what Val (Charlie Hardwick) did to the Pollard family.

So, to that end, and to show off her generosity to Brenda (Lesley Dunlop) when it’s Amy’s birthday – in the episode that airs on June 27th – Val will present the birthday girl with a moped!

But as she’s showing Amy how to work the machine, she revs the engine and as she isn’t holding down the brake, the bike shoots off and crashes right into Eric! Read more & comment »

Eric Pollard is possibly Emmerdale’s least likely chick magnet, and it’s hard to imagine that women might fight over his affections…

However, Lesley Dunlop, who plays Eric’s latest squeeze Brenda Walker, has revealed that if his wife Val (Charlie Hardwick) comes back to the village having abandoned Eric (Chris Chittell) to start a new life in Portugal, a fight is exactly what she’ll get!

Speaking to Inside Soap about the prospect of Brenda and Val having a showdown over Eric, Lesley – who’s also starred in May to December and Where the Heart Is – said, “I’d quite like it if Val comes back to the village fuming.

“It would be good to see how Eric reacts – whether he drops Brenda like a hot potato or tells Val where to go.

“And since Brenda is secretly hoping all the things Eric’s been telling her are true, she’d most likely be prepared to stand her ground and fight.”

And a happy ever after with Eric isn’t all Lesley wants for Brenda; ideally, she’d like to see her become lady of the manor… Read more & comment »
