It was a heartbreaking Emmerdale episode tonight (Wednesday, November 1) as longest-serving character Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) was diagnosed with Parkinson's, the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.
In tear-jerking scenes, Eric opened up to Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) about his struggles recently and how terrified he was feeling about his future. He swore Mandy to secrecy, determined to go it alone.
