EMMERDALE

THINLY VEILED ENVY

Bernice’s return has introduced some hilarious comedy in her pursuit of Liam, and her feigned attempt at expressing happiness for Leyla and her ex’s forthcoming nuptials disguises a ruthless determination to win him back. Intent on preventing the wedding, Bernice turns up on the big day wearing a wedding dress of her own (pictured, left, with Leyla in her wedding dress), but will her final pleas fall on deaf ears? It’s like a double dose of Bridezilla – with a bit of Norman Bates thrown into the mix. Let’s hope that whoever is the loser turns all Miss Havisham

on us and wears her wedding dress for the rest of her life. They have to make budget cuts somewhere – and heaven knows they’ve made enough with Bernice’s wig. Apart from the whacking great gap at the front, she couldn’t look more swamped if a yeti had taken up residence on her scalp. Actress Samantha Giles has great hair in real life; it’s a shame they won’t let her wear it.

Just when you thought Vic’s life was back on track, it turns out Luke has been leading a double life (is there any other kind in this village? Having just one makes you look like a real freak.) There’ll be tears. Again.
