Will he change his mind? (Picture: ITV)
When Heath Hope (Sebastian Dowling) was killed in a car crash on New Year’s Eve in Emmerdale it was obviously devastating for his dad, Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw).
But compounding Bob’s grief is his belief that his daughter Cathy (Gabrielle Dowling) was responsible for her brother’s death.
Cathy has protested ever since the accident that it wasn’t her who was driving at the time the car went off the road.
Cathy had stolen the car and had driven it away from the village, but it was Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes), who’d taken over driving because she and Heath were frustrated that Cathy was going too slowly and they were keen to get to a party in Hotten.

Although Angel denied this version of events when the police questioned her, after all the emotions of Heath’s funeral she broke down and admitted to her mum Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) that Cathy was telling the truth.
In upcoming episodes Nicola wants to talk to Jimmy (Nick Miles) about what’s next for the family now that Angel has confessed.

Jimmy, however, decides that his daughter should be protected at all costs and he continues to publicly blame Cathy for what happened to Heath to deflect attention away from Angel. He also tells Angel to lie again to the police, which makes Nicola feel uneasy.
