New Emmerdale B&B owner revealed as Eric Pollard is forced to sell up
EMMERDALE'S new B&B owner has been revealed as Eric Pollard is forced to sell up.
Last month, Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) revealed a position at the B&B could be up for grabs.
Meanwhile, Brenda Walker (Lesley Dunlop) told a shocked Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) that she and Pollard will be retiring.
This prompted Bernice to show off her plans for the B&B and she was chuffed to find out Pollard had decided to give her the job.
However, Bernice saw her bubble burst and her plans thwarted when Mandy insisted that she worked out her one month notice at the salon.
But Mandy's woes continue and in upcoming scenes, Bernice is furious when Mandy tells her she is going to have to make her redundant from the salon.

Nicola then encourages Bernice to buy the B&B.
Emmerdale boss Jane Hudson previously teased what fans can expect from the new B&B owner.
Speaking to The Sun Online and other media she said: "We’re going to have some new owners at the B&B, I’ve been to look at the new set and it’s absolutely fantastic.
"I’m not going to tell you who the new owners are just yet but let’s just say it’s very boutique the new decor, it’s very glamorous and it’s got an absolute touch of class.

"It’s just on the right side of not being cheesy.
"And it’s going to be two owners who are not a couple who will be running the B&B."
