BERNICE Blackstock’s fight for the B&B continues in scenes due to air on ITV.
However, the Emmerdale character played by Samantha Giles is shocked when a member of her own family betrays her.
Bernice Blackstock wants to buy the B&B
She joined forces with Bob Hope
But they’ll need to jump through a big hurdle
With Eric Pollard and Brenda Walker ready to retire, Bernice Blackstock saw the opportunity of a lifetime and decided to dedicate her time to a new business venture.
She’s thus joined forces with Bob Hope (portrayed by Tony Audenshaw) but they realise they’ll have to jump through multiple hurdles before becoming the proud owners of The Grange.
Coming up on ITV, Bob tries desperately to get Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) to buy his shares in Café Main Street but she doesn’t want to hear another word of it.
Much to his horror, he then learns from Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) that they have three days to pay the deposit.
This gives them a limited amount of time to raise the funds for the B&B, prompting to hatch another plan to get what they want.
But Bernice and Bob are later disappointed when their plan to get Jimmy King drunk to convince Nicola to buy the shares fails.
To make matters worse, Nicola has a trick up her own sleeve and she calls Eric.
The following day, Bernice is hurt and angry as she learns that her sister Nicola and her husband Jimmy have bought the B&B.
She confronts Nicola and accuses her of being a traitor but Eric gives her another shot.
Bernice and Bob can barely believe their luck when they convince Pollard to let them beat Nicola’s offer.
Will they be able to get their hands on the cash needed?
Or could Nicola steal the B&B from Bernice and Bob?
While she’s focusing on money affairs, Bernice has recently faced a shock diagnosis.
As viewers will remember, Bernice believed she may have dementia when her mood began to fluctuate hectically.
Fans of the Yorkshire-based drama were convinced she was in for a health storyline – and they were right.
But Bernice was eventually told she was going through menopause and the thought of it rattled her so much, she decided to look for support.
Emmerdale airs weeknights from 7.30pm on ITV.
