Emmerdale fans have spotted a problem with Cathy as they worry for her wellbeing after she stole a bottle of vodka.
Viewers of the ITV Soap shared concern for Cathy in tonight's (April 26) episode of Emmerdale after she failed to turn up to school and instead stole a bottle of vodka from Bob's bar to drink with Marshall.
The teen threw a tantrum after sneaking home from school, despite it being exam day, when she bumped into Brenda - she claimed she was going for a walk but instead stole a bottle of vodka and took Marshall along for the trip.

Fans of the show were fretting that a storyline we have seen before may repeat itself. Liv Dingle started her battle with alcohol dependency in 2017. And, viewers have shared concern that Cathy could be going the same way.
In the episode, Cathy took Marshall to drink the bottle of vodka she had stole from Bob in the park. The pair were having a deep conversation about their feelings. Marshall said to Cathy: "You're not as mean as you make out to be."
Cathy replied: "Do you ever feel guilty for letting people down?"
She then took a mouthful of alcohol and said: "Its rank, I feel a bit rough, I feel like I'm going to vom."
Fans took to Twitter to share their concern.
@Chris1968E said: "#Emmerdale they really know nothing about teens in Emmerdale. They're either thieves, thugs, junkies/drunks or really messed up. Emmerdale don't like an every day "normal" teen that just gets on with things without any of the above shit"
@Samanth22356123 added: "Ahh the classic “sulky teen nicks vodka thinking no one will ever guess I’m drunk cos it doesn’t have a smell” bollucks!!!"

@runninoncaffine added: "Emmerdale time folks Cathy mental health is getting worse and Heath is so adorable looking out for her"
At this point in the episode Bob and Brenda discovered the missing vodka and went looking for Cathy. They bumped into Laurel and Jay, who realised she was with Marshall and began searching for the pair also.
The episode ended with Bob and Brenda finding Cathy throwing up. Marshall was left scared Laurel would kick him out for his behaviour, he spoke out about missing his mum.
Marshall was seen swigging vodka from the bottle in his bedroom as the episode ended.
