Neither Laurel or Brenda want him around anymore...

Emmerdale veteran Bob Hope is about to be living proof of the familiar saying: “What goes around comes around.”

The former café worker decides to host a strippers’ night at the local pub, but he doesn’t count on Laurel arriving and breaking up with him.

Viewers know that she’s actually been trying to break up with him for a while now, and admitted she didn’t love him on firework night.

The following scenes show Bob embarrassed and distraught as he struggles with single life.

Clearly unable to be alone, Bob wonders if Brenda would have him back – but he overhears Brenda telling Doug she has no intention of getting back together with her estranged husband.

Unaware that Bob has heard everything, she makes it clear it would be better if he left.

Will Brenda’s words prompt Bob to consider his next move and even leave the village for good?

After all, he has burnt several bridges over the years and we’re not sure who will have him romantically any more!

Is this the end of the road for Bob?
