Fans mock Bob’s appearance as he debuts new look: ‘is he off duck hunting?’
What on Earth is Bob wearing?
Fans of Emmerdale were left shocked by Bob Hope‘s new look in last night’s episode of the soap. This came as he showed off a new jacket while advising Brenda on her relationship with Eric.
As Brenda fretted that Eric only wanted to marry her due to side-effects of the medication, Bob provided a sympathetic ear, listening patiently as she explained her worries. After all, if the meds had caused him to throw all their money into a cryptocurrency scheme, who was to say it hadn’t also been behind his proposal?
Bob was quick to put Brenda at ease, but fans were more distracted by the coat he was wearing throughout the scene.
The rain jacket – adorned with an Earthy-coloured camouflage pattern – had fans taking to social media in their droves to blast Bob’s new look.
Emmerdale fans make jokes as Bob steps out in controversial jacket
Writing on X as the episode aired, fans shared their thoughts on Bob’s coat.
“Bob’s going to using his new T.A jacket to go on the pull before long,” joked one fan.
“Is Bob off to do a survival course? Well he lives in Emmerdale – so it could come in handy,” said another.
“Has Bob joined the Army all of a sudden?” asked a third.
“Is Bob off duck hunting?!” a fourth laughed.
“Bob living in a bush on the home farm estate?” another said.
Bob talks some sense into Pollard
His fashion choices may have been questionable, but Bob was successful in getting through to Eric – advising him to sell the shop in the hope of keeping Brenda.
Pollard seemed to have seen sense following his talking-to from Bob. And, as the episode ended, Eric made a concerted effort to make things right with Brenda.
Nice job Bob!
