Cathy faces death in Emmerdale – in the same place of teen murder

Cathy Hope (Gabrielle Dowling) was left in tears in Emmerdale after an incident on the village’s bridge, which nearly ended in tragedy.

The teen, as viewers know, has been struggling over the past few months, opening up to a number of her loved ones about how she’s been feeling angry all the time.

After confiding in Bernice Blackstock (Samantha Giles) about suffering from heavy periods, Cathy sought help from GP Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker), who recommended that she go on the pill to ease her suffering.

Bob (Tony Audenshaw) and Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) were worried sick about her, but things seemingly improved in the weeks that followed, with Cathy telling Bob that her feelings of anger and upset had subsided.

Brenda, however, remained concerned, and insisted that Bob, who has been busy with the launch of the B&B, check in with his daughter more often, which he did earlier this week.

Cathy, meanwhile, was determined to attend a gig of a band she likes, despite Brenda’s concern, and when Wendy Posner (Susan Cookson) gave her the green light, the teen was elated, excited about the big night out.

Friday’s (March 17) edition of the ITV soap saw Cathy, with some assistance from April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan), set in motion a plan that would see the group of teens bunk off school and attend the concert – evading Wendy, who had offered to go along with them as their chaperone.

April, however, started to grow concerned about Cathy’s reckless behaviour, as did Heath (Sebastian Dowling) and Marshall Hamston (Max Fletcher), who tried to intervene when they realised she’d nicked a bottle of whiskey for the journey.

Cathy refused to take their advice, instead climbing onto the bridge – the very same bridge where Leanna Cavanagh (Mimi Slinger) was pushed to her death by Meena Jutla (Paige Sandhu) almost two years ago.

Bob, Wendy, Manpreet and Liam (Jonny McPherson), who happened to be passing by, raced towards the teen, with Bob concerned that his beloved daughter was going to fall to her death.

The worried dad’s worst fear almost came true, with Cathy struggling to maintain her balance on the bridge, but he managed to save her in the nick of time.

Cathy, who wasn’t on drugs or under the influence of alcohol, explained that she just wanted to ‘have some fun’ and ‘be happy’. ‘I’m not high, I just don’t want to be angry and want to feel good about myself again,’ she exclaimed.

Manpreet recognised that this was a matter for the crisis team, insisting that Bob take Cathy to A and E at once. Bob did just that, with Cathy subsequently seeing a doctor.
