Pollard is looking to the future in Emmerdale spoilers

Eric’s recent health troubles have forced him to re-evaluate his life and accept that he needs some help.

Kind-hearted Kerry has been on hand to support her friend, and arranged for Pollard to get medical assistance at home. Eric was annoyed by Kerry’s interference, but came round to the idea after suffering a second fall.

With a care package now in place, Pollard’s thoughts have turned to his future. Pollard knows his Parkinson’s is only going to get worse, and this means he may not be able to manage Wishing Well Barn for much longer. With that in mind, he starts considering the possibility of selling up.
