Emmerdale 'reveals' Kerry Wyatt's sinister plan for Eric Pollard as fans left horrified
Emmerdale viewers reckon the soap had dropped a hint as to what Kerry Wyatt has planned for Eric Pollard - and it’s not looking good.
The character (Laura Norton) has been a staple on screens since her debut in 2012 - and it didn’t take her long to become a firm favourite with viewers.
Kerry has played a part in several big storylines too. From her tricky relationship with secret daughter Amy (Natalie Ann Jamieson) to accidental arson, Kerry’s time in the Dales has not been short of drama.
Over in the village recently, she has grown closer to soap legend Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell), amid a few difficult months for him. As well as living with Parkinson's, Eric found himself single recently.

His partner Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) ended things after he lost her life savings and cash to a risky cryptocurrency enemy. The split has left Eric devastated - but this week he conjured up a deadly plan.
In a bid to compensate Brenda, Eric planned to set fire to the shop in an insurance scam, hoping he would get a big payout. However, Kerry found out and managed to put a stop to his plan.
Kerry opened up to Eric about her own fire drama back in 2019, when she and Amy accidentally started a blaze at a sweet factory. The fire ended in tragedy as Frank Clayton (Michael Praed) sadly lost his life.
And in Friday’s episode (January 31) Kerry checked in with Eric, following his dangerous thoughts. The pair spent the afternoon together at the shop, and after Kerry shared her concern about Eric, he insisted he has family.
“Even you,” Eric said, referring to Kerry, leaving her smiling. She replied: “You’ve definitely got me Eric.” Kerry then cheekily quipped: “So if I’m officially family, then properly, you might want to think about changing your will,” as Eric spat out his drink.
However, following Kerry’s comment, fans can’t help but think she has something sinister planned for Eric - and it’s not looking good for the Dales legend.
“Why am I sensing Kerry is going to steal or try and get with Eric?” said one person on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page. Someone else wrote: “I’ve never trusted the friendship with Eric tbh.”
A third chimed in and claimed Kerry could be set to poison Eric in a bid to get her hands on his will and fortune. They wrote: “I think she might do what Cassie is doing to Ken in Coronation Street?” Another agreed: “That’s what I’ve thought for a while.”
Emmerdale airs weeknights on ITV1 and ITVX at 7.30pm
