Bob Hope has been walking on eggshells in Emmerdale over the last few weeks, as he tries to understand and come to terms with his daughter's condition.
But next week, things take another twist for the pair, when devastating news leads Cathy to lash out expectedly.
Bob is thrown off guard when Cathy’s headteacher suggests that Cathy should defer a year as she won’t be granted an access arrangement without a formal diagnosis of her condition.

But an insistent Cathy desperately doesn’t want to be kept back a year and persuades Miss Cathcart to let her take the exams like originally planned alongside her classmates.
Trying to come to terms with everything, Cathy tries to drink away her trouble with school friend Marshall.
However the following day, Cathy is ashamed of her actions and flies off the handle once again.
In a fit of unexpected rage, Cathy strikes her dad Bob by accident scratching him with her keys. Bob winces, still holding his bleeding cheek.
Later on, as things finally cools down, Bob gives Cathy a hug but as he leaves, a lost Cathy takes a packed rucksack out from behind the sofa – planning to leave.
Looking back on the famous establishment, Cathy stares at the B&B with tears in her eyes as she turns and heads off into the night.
Will Cathy be found in time?
Over a month or so, viewers have seen Cathy struggling with heavy and painful periods and subsequent mood swings, as well as other disorienting symptoms.
After analysing her symptoms Manpreet Sharma discovers Cathy may have Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, a behaviour disorder that could explain the intense changes in her mood.
But as things start to intensify for the Hope family, will Bob be able to get the right help that his daughter is longing for?
