Emmerdale's Cathy Hope had a breakdown in tonight's episode when she realised how her life could be impacted by her ongoing illness.
The character, played by 16-year-old actress Gabrielle Dowling, has been spiralling out of control in recent weeks. She has been skipping school and showing erratic behaviour. Tonight, Wendy and Manpreet visited her dad Bob tell him they believe she has premenstrual dysphoric disorder, which could last for half of her life.
Manpreet told Bob: "The thing is Bob there is no cure. She could suffer with this right up to menopause." "Does that mean Cathy could live with this for half her life?," Bob said. "It is a possibility, yes," added Manpreet.
