Recent Emmerdale scenes have seen Pollard confide in Kerry, and now fans fear that the two could hook up.

Things have been tough for Eric Pollard of late. As well as coping with Parkinson’s, his partner Brenda ended their relationship after he lost her savings in a cryptocurrency scam.

Pollard has been desperate to make some money so he can pay Brenda Walker back and he came up with a dangerous plan. Fortunately, Kerry managed to stop him.

But fans are now worried that Kerry and Pollard’s closeness could lead to something more.

After encouraging Pollard to open up, he revealed that he felt like a failure because he hadn’t managed to give Brenda her money back yet. Kerry told Pollard to give himself a break and not get overwhelmed.

However, she was later alarmed when she found a stash of arson equipment and discovered Pollard’s plan to set fire to the shop for the insurance money.

Kerry opened up to Pollard about her own fire drama back in 2019 when she and Amy accidentally started the fire that killed Frank Clayton.

After managing to talk Pollard out of arson, Kerry went to check up on him the following day. The pair spent the afternoon together, with Pollard referring to Kerry as family and insisting she do yoga with him.

Emmerdale fan theory sees Pollard and Kerry hook up

Seeing Pollard cosy up to Kerry has many fans worried about where the storyline could be going.

“Kerry and Eric, a platonic friendship or something more in the future?,” asked one fan on Reddit. A second fan responded, writing: “Kerry and Pollard platonic only please. Anything more, YUCK!”

“Eric and Kerry are going to end up together, aren’t they?!,” wrote a third fan alongside a sad face emoji.

Other fans suggested Kerry would use Pollard – even though he doesn’t currently have any money. “Why am I sensing Kerry is going to steal or try and get with Eric?,” wrote a fourth fan, with a fifth adding: “Kerry, he’s old enough to be your grandad!”
