Fans of Emmerdale fear for Laurel's future as it looks like she may end up homeless.
Laurel Thomas, played by Charlotte Bellamy, has been devastated after Kim Tate announced she was selling Mulberry Cottage, where Laurel had lived with now-deceased partner Ashley Thomas.
The home was one filled with happy memories for Laurel, and she has been struggling to look for a new property after she was unable to get a mortgage to buy her home off Kim due to Jai Sharma forging a loan application in her name.

However, in tonight's episode of the ITV soap, Bernice Blackstock kindly stepped up to the mark and offered her some space under her roof - a move which made fans fear for Laurel even more.
Bernice, played by Samantha Giles, is also a former lover of Ashley but their relationship ended in divorce.
Fans on Twitter couldn't believe either of the women thought living together would be a good idea.
Teena said: "If Laurel hasn’t been through enough, now she’s got to spend time with Bernice… #Emmerdale"
Ryan said: "Bernice giving Laurel a rota. Bernice will drive Laurel back to the bottle if she ain't careful #Emmerdale"
Le-Le said: "Laurel living with Bernice? They will argue like cat and dog I bet lol #emmerdale"
Mike said: "I don’t think Laurel living with Bernice would work. I can see them not getting on that well to live under each other’s feet. #Emmerdale"
Bernice was delighted with the idea of having Laurel as a roommate as she said: "Oh I'm so excited you can be like the sister I never had!
"You don't need to worry, I have plenty of room for all the kids. We could even put up some pictures of Ashley! We could share them."
Laurel replied: "Or maybe the children could just have them in their rooms."
Bernice thought about it for a second before she said: "Yeah, less like a widow's club house."
But she continued to get excited as she suggested "Swayze" nights and lots of other film night ideas - however Laurel didn't seem convinced.
She went on to talk cleaning rotas, discussing getting the kids involved while Laurel came back with excuses as to why it wouldn't work before asking if Bernice was criticising her parenting.
Bernice blamed her words on too much coffee, before Laurel said that it wasn't going to work.
She ended the conversation as she said: "It's a very kind offer, but I think me and Arthur should consider our options."
It was later revealed that Kim had accepted an offer on the house and Laurel's 30 day notice period had started and the clock was now ticking for Laurel to find a new home fast.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7pm on ITV and ITV Hub with an additional episode at 8pm on Thursdays.
