Emmerdale fans were left full of praise for the soap after witnessing Bob Hope and Bernice Blackstock's takeover of the B&B. The pair were confirmed as the new owners of Eric Pollard's former business just a number of weeks ago and they've already had the decorators in and announced the B&B has reopened.
But despite their praise, viewers of the ITV soap did point out a 'pointless' element to Wednesday night's episode (February 22). During the latest trip to the Dales, Bernice was left looking sheepish after she woke up having slept with the harpist she had hired for the re-opening of The Grange.
Meanwhile, Bob was rushed off his feet having to deal with Bernice's list of jobs to get down before The Grange welcomed its guests. And when Bob questioned Bernice about her whereabouts, she kept her dalliance a secret, but had to come clean when Tim was a no-show.
