Is Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) about to be handed everything he needs to bring down his bullying boss in Emmerdale?

Jacob is still having a tough time of it with his mentor and boss Dr Todd (Caroline Harker), who is doing what she can to make his life hell. She’s been belittling him, undermining him, working him like a dog in demanding research papers in an impossible amount of time.

His marriage is suffering, his sanity is hanging by a thread, he can’t take much more of this.

Ah, but karma has a way of appearing at just the right moment and Jacob is about to find the opportunity to make sure Dr Todd gets her dose of it.

His moment arrives when he witnesses Dr Todd manhandling and shouting at a patient.

Her crown slips, Jacob sees behind the curtain and realises he has pure evidence that she’s a bit of a witch.

It’s been hard to find when even the likes of Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) thinks Dr Todd can do no wrong.

She needs bringing down a peg or five, and the perfect opportunity has just landed in Jacob’s lap.

But now what to do with said evidence? Act on it, and Jacob risks losing his whole medical degree. Ignore it and Jacob becomes scum for turning a blind eye to abuse.

Good-hearted Jacob opts for the latter – risking his entire future to do the right thing and advocate for the patient.

But Dr Todd has a wealth of experience, loyal colleagues, and an acid tongue.
