Jacob unable to escape in Emmerdale as Dr Todd’s bullying campaign worsens

Just when you thought Emmerdale’s Doctor Todd (Caroline Harker) couldn’t be any more of a horrible boss.

The not-so-good Doctor turns the tables on her victim Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant) by making him seem like the toxic one…
Doctor Todd is doing everything in her power to make Jacob scared of going to work.

Nothing he ever does is good enough.

She belittles him, gives him a ridiculous amount of work to do for an impossible deadline, and then turns around and tears it to shreds.

Not only did she criticise Jacob instead of comforting him when he was attacked by Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) in the grips of PTSD, but she got on his case for misdiagnosing Kim Tate (Claire King) with mushroom poisoning and actually encouraged her to make an official complaint about the poor lad.

Thing seem to get a little better recently, after Jacob witnessed his boss lose her temper with an elderly patient suffering with dementia… who turned out to be her father.

In an emotional heart to heart, Todd opened up about her life outside the hospital to Jacob, so teacher and student were left with a better understanding of each other.

Or so Jacob thought.

Upcoming scenes of Emmerdale reveal that Doctor Caitlin Todd is still on a one-woman missing to make Jacob’s time at work a waking nightmare.

Jacob is relieved when Todd assures him things are fine between them, unaware that Todd is recording an audio log accusing Jacob of obsessive behaviour.

But later, Jacob’s uncomfortable to see that Todd is moving in to with Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick).

Could there be a romance developing here?

Whatever the case, it’s bad news for Jacob that Todd will be living in the heart of the village…
And when Todd starts playing the same old mind games, Jacob’s at his wit’s end and arranges to swap with Rich to get away from the old battle-axe just for one day.

However,his stomach drops to hear that swapping placements has led to him working with Dr Todd tomorrow rather than escaping her.Could Jacob’s week get any worse?

Short answer – yes.

Because savvy Todd is already manipulating Manpreet into believing that Jacob’s obsessed with her.

Meanwhile, savvy Todd manipulates Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) into believing that Jacob’s obsessed with her.
