Emmerdale is now laying the groundwork for the long-term character’s departure.
In scenes yet to air, Nicola (Nicola Wheeler) hopes to secure Brenda’s cruise ship tickets for herself and Jimmy (Nick Miles).
Left shocked when Brenda reveals she is going on the cruise alone, Nicola changes tactics.
She instead tries to get herself on board as Brenda’s plus one, offering her support.
When Jimmy realises about the changed situation, he’s put out.
He later tells Pollard (Chris Chittell) there might still be a chance for him and Brenda.
Pollard, who is Brenda’s former partner, bought the tickets last year as a gift for them to enjoy.
However, she ended their romance after Pollard lost her life savings in a cryptocurrency scheme.
Actress Lesley, 69, joined the soap in 2008 and is married to Pollard actor Chris, 76, in real life.
Brenda was first introduced as the adoptive mother to Gennie (Sian Reese-Williams).
Over the years, Brenda’s storylines have included having a brain tumour.
The character was also previously married to Bob Hope (Tony Audenshaw).
Regarding actress Lesley’s exit, a source previously told The Mirror: “There have been so many exits recently and the talk is of more.
Eric Pollard's biggest Emmerdale storylines
By Conor O’Brien
As Emmerdale’s current longest-serving character, Eric Pollard has seen his fair share of drama.
Introduced in 1986, the character was originally portrayed as a villain – but this has been since downplayed.
Here is a look back at some of Eric’s biggest storylines from over the years.
- Long lost son: Having had an affair with Lydia Halliwell, Eric left unaware that she was pregnant. His son David Metcalfe (Matthew Wolfenden) arrived in the village during 2006 – and ended up staying until 2023.
- Marriages: Eric has tied the knot on five occasions. His five ex-wives are Eileen Pollock, Elizabeth Feldmann, Dee la Cruz, Gloria Weaver and Val Lambert. Eric’s current partner is Brenda Walker – played by actor Chris Chittell’s real-life wife Lesley Dunlop.
- Bigamy: Upon marrying Elizabeth in October 1992, she was unaware he was still legally married to first wife Eileen. As a result, he was therefore committing bigamy.
- Parkinson’s diagnosis: In 2023, Eric left fans heartbroken after it was revealed he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s – the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.
“With people like Lesley and Roxy [Shahidi] potentially in the mix, nobody feels safe.
“The show has grown a lot bigger in recent years but soaps are expensive to make.
“It’s inevitable saving money means losing people – but it’s a huge shame all the same for those involved, their friends and colleagues.”
Emmerdale continues on ITV1 and ITVX.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the proper stance when boxing?
Standing with feet shoulder width apart and your lead foot in front, while the rear foot is at a 45 degree angle, you are assuming the classic boxing stance. You should have your knees slightly bent and your weight evenly distributed on your balls of feet. Keep your hands raised to shield your face. Tuck your elbows in to protect your torso.
How important is recovery for boxing training?
In boxing, recovery is crucial as it helps your body heal and become stronger. Rest, stretching, sleep, hydration and a healthy diet are all important for a quick recovery. Ignoring recovery can lead to overtraining, injuries, and decreased performance.
What kind of diet would you recommend for a new boxer?
A beginner boxer should aim for a well-balanced diet consisting of carbohydrates for energy, lean proteins for muscle repair and growth, healthy fats for endurance, and ample fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals. Also, hydration is crucial. Drink plenty of fluids before, during, as well as after exercising.
What should a beginner boxer focus on?
As a beginning martial artist, your main focus should be to learn the proper form and techniques. The basics include learning how to punch, building a strong defence, improving footwork, and improving conditioning. Start slow, focus on technique rather than power, and consult a coach with experience.
What are the basics of boxing punches?
The fundamental boxing strikes include the jab which is a quick, direct punch delivered using your lead arm; the cross which is a powerful punch delivered with your back hand; the hook that is a semi-circular blow aimed towards the side of an opponent’s face or body; and finally the uppercut. This upward strike targets the underside of the opponent’s chin or their body.
Can I learn to box at home?
If you want to be sure that you are learning the right techniques, you should train in a boxing gym with an experienced coach. Boxing gyms also provide the necessary equipment as well as the chance to practice alongside others.
What is the importance breathing in boxing?
Boxing requires proper breathing to maintain energy and stamina. You will also remain relaxed throughout a training session or match. You should exhale sharply with each punch and breathe rhythmically, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth to effectively manage your oxygen intake and output.
