Is the couple’s fate sealed for Christmas?

Gambling is a losers game but how far will Eric go to try and get everything back to normal – or will it lead to his demise?

On Monday night’s Emmerdale, Brenda finally finds out about Eric’s gambling addiction and the money he stole from her account after she came to him confused about why she could not buy her wedding dress. Sadly, the only way she found out was by Dr Liam, who had caught Eric in the act of stealing from his own till and with the aim of placing it on a horse.

Thankfully, luck was in his favour- as he won. However, in a bid to undo all the damages he has caused, he might have lost something money can’t buy – Brenda.

Eric is only in this chaotic state of mind after an earlier conversation with Arthur who had told him about the website, but mishearing how the youngster only put £100 in and not his savings – he is now feeling foolish and it is revealed that the site is a scam. However, Liam says his behaviour is because of his new medicine and begs him to book an appointment.

However, fans think this has sealed the couple’s fate as many predict one of them or both leave the village when the pair are ‘bound to lose’ their house. @Samanth22356123 said: “This bitcoin scam storyline just seems like a lazy way to write Brenda out. Eric would never be this naive to fall for this. #Emmerdale”
