Viewers were left laughing out loud, as in last night’s episode of Emmerdale (Tuesday, December 17), Brenda thought Eric was having an affair with Kerry!

The current storylines in Emmerdale have been deemed as dark and bleak by fans. But last night, in between the madness, there was a hint of the comedic soap everyone remembers.

Brenda has had a tough time as of lately, and so the last thing she needed was finding out Eric and Kerry were together. But thankfully for everyone, that is not the case.

Recently Brenda and Eric called time on their relationship, as she could no longer trust him. Behind her back he had invested all of his and Brenda’s money into cryptocurrency that proved to be a scam.

While they may not be living together, the pair still clearly care a lot about each other, which is why Brenda was heading over to his house.

Emmerdale: Brenda brought comedy back to the show

When Brenda arrived at Eric’s last night, she let herself in as usual. But she heard strange noises coming from upstairs, and when she realised it was Eric and Kerry, she quickly assumed they were sleeping together.

In very funny scenes, Kerry walked downstairs just in time to see Brenda literally running away from the house.

Not one to hide her feelings, Brenda soon confronted the pair in the Woolpack, who were equally as shocked as we were at her accusation.

Soon Eric had explained that Kerry was his new cleaner, and was helping him get something he had dropped and that must have been what she heard.

And while it was all a big misunderstanding, it provided some quite comedic scenes for us to enjoy.

Fans call for more comedy

After the episode aired, fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their opinions. And it’s safe to say everyone enjoyed the comedic relief.

One wrote: “The Pollard/Kerry/Brenda mix up was hilarious tonight. Please more comedy like this Emmerdale. That was too funny.”

Another added: “The Kerry and Eric scenes with Brenda were brilliant tonight. More of that please.”

A third penned: “Kerry and Eric are an unlikely friendship pairing that I can totally get behind. Was really funny stuff tonight.”

It seems everyone is in agreement that while the show can tackle its hard-hitting storylines, it doesn’t have to be dark stuff every night.
