Emmerdale fans are wondering 'how' they've managed to have not spotted the perfect couple before now as they predict a new romance is on the horizon. In recent weeks, viewers of the ITV soap have seen Bernice Blackstock and Bob Hope joining forces to become the new owners of the B&B.
Eric Pollard has decided to give up his beloved business in favour of travelling with his partner Brenda following the heartbreaking death of Faith Dingle. And wanting a new challenge, Bernice and Bob came together and put all the money they had together to give Eric an offer.
However, they almost missed out on being the B&B's new owners after Bernice's sister Nicola King and her husband Jimmy offered Pollard the asking price. But Bernice and Bob ended up coming back out on top after pulling at Pollard's heartstrings and managing to get together some additional cash to meet Nicola and Jimmy's offer.
