Emmerdale fans have criticised producers over Cathy Hope's storyline following tonight's dramatic episode.
Cathy, who suffers from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), has had to leave her GCSE exams due to not feeling well. Her health has now prompted concerned teachers and her parents to discuss options for her future.
One of the suggestions was that Cathy, who because of her condition often struggles with her mental health and has painful and heavy periods, should defer her exams for a year. Cathy was not happy and got even more upset when she realised her dad had spoken to the school without her knowledge.
