A new Emmerdale fan theory has predicted that Brenda will leave the village with Anthony now she has split up from Eric Pollard. This follows the events of last night’s episode, in which Brenda ended things with Eric.

Unable to forgive his deception – nor his foolishness – Brenda dumped a heartbroken Pollard. Meanwhile, Anthony considered leaving the village after it became apparent that Ruby has no intention of forgiving him.

One soap viewer has put two and two together to question whether Brenda might meet Anthony at the B&B – and decide to leave the village with her new man.

“Totally paving the way for Brenda’s upcoming exit sadly…” said another viewer of Eric and Brenda’s split.

Could Brenda move on to a new man, post-Pollard? Anything is possible, given rumours that actor Lesley Dunlop is set to leave the soap later this year.

What is Anthony hiding?

Meanwhile, Ruby has continued to resist a reconciliation with dad Anthony. Earlier this week, Steph attempted to force the issue with an impromptu family gathering.

Ruby appeared to let bygones be bygones, but suffered a panic attack outside. The next day, she left Steph appalled after telling Caleb how she couldn’t care less if her dad died.

This has left some fans wondering whether there might be more to the situation than meets the eye – including theories of abuse, long-buried family secrets, and the particularly dark suggestion that Steph may, in fact, be Anthony’s daughter.
