Emmerdale confirms huge relationship crisis for Eric and Brenda

Emmerdale spoilers follow.

Emmerdale will air a major relationship crisis for Eric Pollard and Brenda Walker next week, as the couple have a huge row.

This week's dramatic episodes focus on the Dingle family, as Lydia questions the clan over their whereabouts following the shock murder of Craig Reed, who had sexually assaulted Lydia.

These episodes feature a number of flashbacks, which reveal the family's secrets to viewers, but many of the Dales residents will remain in the dark about what exactly has happened over the course of the week.

With the effects reverberating around the village, Eric and Brenda's relationship will come under strain in the aftermath of the murder.

As the week begins, Pollard is not acting himself and he suddenly lashes out at Brenda, who is left baffled by his angry outburst.

Soon enough, bereft Brenda is crying on Nicola King's shoulder. Nicola bolsters Brenda to move on, telling her that she should find another man if Eric won't treat her properly.

It remains to be seen what is in Pollard and Brenda's future, but Emmerdale producer Laura Shaw has confirmed that at least one relationship in the soap is about to be rocked, as an unidentified married character embarks on a "very passionate, steamy affair" with another resident.

"The affair is going to have huge repercussions. It's going to affect a lot of our villagers," she promised.

The list of characters who may potentially be about to cheat on their spouse includes Kim Tate and Will Taylor, Tracy and Nate Robinson, and Nicola and Jimmy King.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
