Emmerdale star Tony Audenshaw explains Bob's violent new scene
Emmerdale spoilers follow.
Emmerdale star Tony Audenshaw has explained why his character Bob Hope lashes out at Liam Cavanagh in a heated scene this evening (August 14).
Tension between the two men has been simmering away in recent days, with Bob struggling to forgive Liam for his affair with Wendy Posner.
Bob was devastated by his recent discovery that Wendy had cheated on him with Liam. Wendy's infidelity left their relationship on rocky ground, and she ultimately walked out on Bob last week after struggling with his cold and distant behaviour.
In Monday's visit to the village, Wendy tries to make amends by telling Liam that she's resigning from the doctors surgery.

Wendy wants to prove her commitment to Bob and understands that he'll never be able to trust her while she's still working with Liam.
When Bob sees Wendy leaving Liam's home, he once again jumps to conclusions and publicly accuses them of sleeping together again.
Tony explained: "Bob can't believe it when he sees them together. He assumes that they're back 'at it' and he thinks that Wendy has lied to him again.
"Bob sees the opportunity and he punches Liam. It hurts his hand, but he likes that he's done some damage to Liam.

"It's done in a funny way like a play fight, but Bob proper smacks him one and finds it very satisfying to hit him!"
He added: "There were no stunt doubles, but we had a stunt coordinator on the day who makes it work with the angles, because you can't actually punch anyone!"
Emmerdale bosses have already confirmed that Monday's episode sees Bob suffer a heart attack in the village amid the ongoing tensions. This leads to him being rushed to hospital with his life hanging in the balance.
