Emmerdale - Eric Pollard's temper will get the better of him once again when he trashes his son David's shop.

David is preparing to relaunch the business having regained ownership, but Eric's ongoing anger problems look set to ruin the big occasion.

Although David comes up with the kind gesture of donating a percentage of the shop's profits to Val's charity, Eric is unhappy about the idea as he continues to push his family away.

With David preparing to open the shop, he starts to doubt whether Eric will even turn up to cut the ribbon as planned. Later, it seems David's worries could be justified when an incredulous Eric learns that Lawrence White has just confessed to shooting Robert Sugden following a shock attempt on the villain's life.

Lawrence has confessed to the crime in a bid to protect his daughter Chrissie, but his bold move infuriates Eric who has already vengefully given a false statement to the police to implicate her.

Arriving at David's shop in a rage, a furious Eric tries to get in but discovers it's locked. Not willing to give up there, Eric proceeds to make his feelings about the tribute to Val clear as he gets a sledgehammer and starts to trash the shop. Will this be the final straw for David?
