Is there a cute little light at the end of the tunnel for Cathy (Gabrielle Dowling) amid her Emmerdale PMDD nightmare?<\/p>\n
Quite frankly, Cathy is one of the most deserving of all the Emmerdale lot to have a bit of light relief. She\u2019s has endured agony with her periods over the last few months, which have had a profound effect on her future. <\/p>\n
They\u2019ve had a huge impact on her ability to sit her exams, on her friendships, her relationship with her dad, and even saw her nearly harm herself by downing a bottle of vodka.<\/p>\n
She chose to head up north to her brother Scott\u2019s as a respite from the damage she was causing and have a break from normal life. She had hoped it would help things calm down.<\/p>\n
It was not to be, as when she arrived back in the village, her troubles came with her, being away hadn\u2019t solved a thing. And receiving her PMDD diagnosis didn\u2019t solve things either as she learned it was incurable which made everything 10 times worse.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
She\u2019s now hellbent on finding a cure for her condition, despite being assured by medical professionals there isn\u2019t one. As she ploughs all her hopes into one thing, a well-timed distraction comes along.<\/p>\n
Unexpectedly, Cathy and Samson (Sam Hall) start to develop a romantic bond. As Cathy flirts with the Dingle lad, she is floored when he seems to reciprocate. <\/p>\n
Before she knows it, reluctant dad Samson and her have plans for a date. While we hope these two end up being the latest unlikely couple, given that he\u2019s the local village toerag, could she be in for more pain? <\/p>\n
And could that pain come from Amelia Spencer (Daisy Campbell) when she finds out?<\/p>\n
One person who is dismayed by the new union is Bob \u2013 who makes his feelings clear over his memory that the lad has already got one girl pregnant.<\/p>\n
Is it over before it\u2019s truly begun?<\/p>\n
