Emmerdale viewers have been left questioning whether Bob Hope is leaving the hit ITV soap after a shock heart-attack.

Emmerdale's Bob Hope, played by Tony Audeshaw, suffered a heart-attack during Monday night's episode (14th August) leaving viewers questioning what is next for the character.

During the episode, Bob is left furious after seeing Wendy Posner, played by Susan Cookson, and Liam Cavanagh, played by Jonny McPherson, leaving the Tenants Cottage together.

Assuming their affair is still going on, Bob punches Liam before the stress of the altercation causes him to have a heart-attack.
