Emmerdale veteran Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) is coming to terms with the fact that he’s no longer the powerful figure he once was in the village. A tough decision forces him to fully recognize this reality.

Eric’s health has been deteriorating for some time, even before his Parkinson’s diagnosis, and the progression of his condition has accelerated. It’s brought about significant changes in his life, but he’s struggled to accept his new limitations. However, that’s about to change.

Eric is growing increasingly frustrated with Caleb Miligan’s (William Ash) new business venture, particularly the added traffic from his warehouse. He makes his displeasure known, but Caleb brushes it off without a care, leaving Eric stunned by his dismissive attitude.

Not one to back down, Eric devises one of his classic plans: he steals one of Caleb’s lorries to make a point. In the heat of the moment, and without his medication, Eric begins to suffer from hand tremors. Struggling to control the vehicle, he crashes it.

Shaken and physically unstable, Eric is left in a vulnerable state.

Caleb later confronts him at the shop, where Eric tries to hold it together as Caleb scolds him for his reckless actions. Caleb warns him—if he meddles with his business again, he’ll regret it.

The following day, Eric is embarrassed when Caleb finds him aimlessly wandering the village, clearly disoriented. Caleb, surprisingly, offers him a lift. Though initially incredulous, Eric soon realizes that he can’t continue fighting his circumstances. With a heavy heart, he accepts that he needs help.

Caleb drives him to Liam’s house, where Eric, swallowing his pride, thanks him for his assistance. Liam reassures him that his recent symptoms were likely due to missing his medication and not a serious issue, though Eric insists it be kept private.

At the shop, Caleb is taken aback to see Eric back behind the counter. Determined not to give up, Eric informs Caleb that he’s not done yet. The two men begin to form an unexpected bond, signaling the start of a new friendship between them.
