Emmerdale fans are in for a major death shock on the ITV soap as a body is found on the Dales.
The storyline next week comes as Bob and Bernice continue their efforts to revamp the B&B under new ownership.
However, the pair are in for a shock of their life when they find a dead body, leaving both understandably horrified.
ITV spoilers have confirmed the storyline begins as Bob is deflated when Bernice confirms a harpist, who she clearly has taken a charm to, will be their act for the opening night of the B&B.
Amid her ongoing hormonal problems with her heavy periods, Cathy has a frustrated outburst and is outraged when Bob suggests Cathy stay elsewhere for the opening of the B&B.
The storyline continues the following day, when Cathy accidentally destroys the cake Marlon has just brought over for the big event.
Feeling humiliated, Cathy flees in tears while her dad is once again left utterly frazzled by the turn of events, as a more understandable Bernice tries to calm Cathy.
She gives her an amethyst pendant to help with her stress, but when Cathy attempts to apologise to Bob she once again loses her temper.
Bob admits he would rather she kept away from the B&B – prompting Cathy to reach boiling point, as she stamps on the amethyst pendant and crushes it.
Descending into confused tears, Cathy just can’t understand why she’s feeling like this.
The scenes on the ITV soap pick up on the day of the B&B’s grand re-opening and Bernice awakes blissfully in the B&B bedroom – after a night with Tim the harpist.
When she realises she’s seriously overslept, she’s panicked into action and unkempt Bernice covers for her absence with an exasperated Bob.
That afternoon in the B&B Bob and Bernice anxiously await their first customers, while Tim the harpist is a no-show, prompting a defensive Bernice to cover for him.
However, just as the guests for the re-opening arrive, horror strikes as Bernice’s revels in her role as hostess are interrupted with the shock news from Bob that he’s found Tim the harpist dead… What could have happened to him since leaving Bernice?
Later, Wendy mishears a conversation between Bob and Bernice and believes the two have slept together, leaving her devastated by the news.
Bob’s horrified when he knocks on Wendy’s door and she accuses him of having an affair with Bernice.
She dumps ice cold water all over him from an upstairs window. Bernice is bemused when a soaking wet Bob arrives at the B&B.
She’s outraged by the accusation of having an affair with Bob but believing Wendy might be going through the menopause, she’s quick to form a plan to intervene as a worried looking Cathy turns up to speak to Bob.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV.
