Cathy Hope's Desperate Search for a Cure for PMDD
Cathy Hope is grappling with her new diagnosis in Emmerdale as her behavior continues to spiral out of control. The teen, played by Gabrielle Dowling, has recently been diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a condition that brings on explosive mood swings and heavy periods. Distressed to learn that PMDD is incurable, Cathy goes to desperate lengths to find a cure for her symptoms.
Cathy's Return to Emmerdale
Cathy recently returned to Emmerdale after spending time away with her half-brother Scott Windsor. Her father, Bob Hope, had hoped the time away would lessen her symptoms, but upon her return, it becomes clear that nothing has changed. Cathy immediately lashes out at Wendy Posner, signaling that her struggles are far from over.
The Diagnosis and Cathy's Response
Although Cathy finally receives an official diagnosis of PMDD, it does little to console her. Learning that the condition is incurable leaves her distraught. She becomes determined to find a cure and ease her symptoms, which have been causing harm to those around her.
Cathy's Extreme Behavior and Desperate Search
With her emotions in turmoil, Cathy's behavior only spirals further. She throws a garden ornament through a B&B window, narrowly missing Manpreet, and shoves Wendy to the ground. Believing there must be another way, Cathy shares her new plan to cure her symptoms with her friend Amelia, leaving her stunned. How far will she go in her quest for a cure?
A Reprieve and a New Focus
However, Cathy's attention is momentarily diverted as she catches the eye of Samson Dingle, who reciprocates her flirting. This distraction provides a reprieve from her diagnosis, but it remains to be seen how Cathy will balance her desires for a cure and a budding romance.
As Cathy's behavior continues to spiral out of control, Emmerdale viewers are left wondering what she will do next and how her diagnosis will impact her relationships and her own well-being.
