In Emmerdale, Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw) is naturally distraught by the loss of his son Heath (Sebastian Dowling).

After stealing Wendy Posner’s (Susan Cookson) car to attend a New Year’s Eve party, Heath, his twin sister Cathy Hope (Gabrielle Dowling), and friend Angelica King (Rebecca Bakes) perished in an automobile accident.

Currently, it’s unknown who was operating the vehicle when the collision occurred. Even though Cathy took it and drove it out of the town, she now maintains that Angelica was at the wheel when the collision occurred.

This is all going to cause a great divide between the King and Hope families and remind Bob of another horrible loss.

Viv found out she was pregnant with twins Heath and Cathy on the day of Dawn’s funeral.

Tony Audenshaw informed us that Bob is grieving the loss of Heath and is thinking a lot about Dawn’s passing.

“The loss of Dawn is something that is actually mentioned quite a bit as the plot progresses,” he thought.

It’s evident in the narrative as well as in his response. It’s also his youngest. They are his offspring, am I right?

According to Tony, Bob finds great assistance from Wendy, his girlfriend, as she also lost a son, Lee (Kris Mochrie), in 2019.

“Wendy is a great support because she can say, ‘Remember this might happen, remember what it’s like, remember why you’re feeling like this at the moment.'” They have both encountered experiences that other people wouldn’t have experienced.

Bob considers his parenting style after Heath’s passing, particularly in light of Cathy’s PMDD diagnosis.

Tony remarked, “I think he’s going to blame himself.” He would undoubtedly doubt his bond with his kids given the manner he has raised them. Has he and Heath become closer in the past few years than he has with Cathy? Is it now time to repay that?

I think that one reason Heath’s experience as a father has been simpler is that he doesn’t have PMDD; he’s had less issues. Really, he has been a bit of a dream who has simply moved on. Because of the difficulties Cathy has had as a result of her disability, he has been focusing on her a lot.

Tony said that Bob finds it difficult to forgive Cathy for her role in his son’s murder at first because he is still too upset and furious about it.

He said, “She’s been driving the car and her brother’s dead.” He has made an effort to comprehend their relationship, but grief makes you furious. It will undoubtedly put an already shattered relationship to the ultimate test.
