Emmerdale spoilers: Caleb saves frail Pollard after lorry crash
Pollard wants Caleb to listen to him and disaster strikes
In Emmerdale spoilers, Pollard and Caleb are fighting – but the pair appear to be warming up to each other…
Yes, you heard that right. The cold heart of Caleb makes a kind gesture to a struggling Eric.
As the longest-serving character in the soap, Eric has been a resident of the village for nearly 40 years. Caleb is not known for his nice gestures, but this could be about to change.
Here’s what’s to come in Emmerdale spoilers…
Emmerdale spoilers: Caleb and Pollard fight
The week starts with Pollard confronting Caleb about the increase in traffic due to his warehouse.
In true Caleb fashion, he blithely bats away his complaints and refuses to take him seriously. Typical Caleb…
Seething at his dismissal, Eric takes action commandeering one of Caleb’s lorries.
Due to not having his medication and being in a state of stress, his hand tremours and he crashes into some crates. In 2023, Eric was dealt a shattering blow when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He’s still full of life, but needs support from the residents of the Dales.
Concerned and shaking, Pollard struggles to hold it together after the shocking reminder his health is slowly deteriorating.
Later, Caleb comes to the shop and warns Pollard against interfering with his business and Pollard does his best to maintain his dignity in front of Caleb. The proud man doesn’t want to let on he’s struggling.
A new friendship on the horizon?
The next day, Pollard’s embarrassed when Caleb spots him wandering into the village, clearly out of sorts. Aware he’s in need of help, Caleb offers him a lift.
Utterly beaten, Pollard swallows his pride and accepts. Caleb drops a vulnerable Pollard at Liam’s house and despite their usual bickering, Pollard’s emotional as he thanks Caleb for his kindness.
Liam assures Eric that his brief paralysis was a symptom of not having access to his usual medication. Adamant that he doesn’t want to worry anyone, Eric makes Liam promise not to tell his family.
Caleb’s surprised to see Pollard back behind the counter at the shop so quickly after the incident. Pollard assures Caleb that he’s not giving up.
While Caleb is known for keeping his distance, the pair share a kind moment and could even be warming up to each other.
Is there a new friendship forming?
