Emmerdale viewers have slammed Bernice's health storyline already, just minutes after the character got her diagnosis. During this evening's episode, Bernice went to the doctors as she believed that she had early-onset dementia.
Bernice, who had booked an appointment with Manpreet, was shocked when Liam stepped out from behind the curtain. Startled at the sight of Liam - with whom she had once shared an illicit kiss - she asked: "I thought I was seeing Manpreet?" But Liam told her that Manpreet was ill.
Hesistant, Bernice said that she thought she ought to wait until Manpreet was back, but Liam was having none of it. He said: "Whatever it is, I won't be shocked - I'm a doctor." At that point, Bernice blurted out: "I think I have early-onset dementia."
