Victoria softens her attitude
VICTORIA THAWS TOWARDS WENDY AND LUKE…
The bad blood between Victoria and the Posners looks to be abating this week – as Wendy shares a tender moment with baby Harry, while Victoria looks on.
New mum Victoria has tried to keep her distance from rapist Lee’s family, but that has proved impossible since Wendy moved to the village. After seeing the turmoil that Wendy was in over living down the road from her grandson and not being part of his life, Victoria reluctantly agreed to let her see baby Harry. It’s not been easy, yet there’s no doubt that Wendy adores her grandson, and that’s a good place to start to build a relationship. But things get more intense this week, when Vic discovers that Luke wants to apply for the chef’s position at the Woolpack – working next to her – is she getting too close for comfort to her rapist’s family?
“While Luke has always believed and backed Victoria, having him working alongside her means he’ll become a big part of her daily life,” explains our Emmerdale insider. “He’s respectful enough to ask her permission to apply, and he didn’t need to. Vic decides to give him the go-ahead, even though she’s not quite sure how it will feel when they are working side by side.”
Vic’s best friend, Amy, continues to worry about her letting Wendy and Luke into her life. She has seen the harrowing impact of what happened, and wants to protect Victoria from more pain and suffering. But while Victoria understands her concerns – and it doesn’t sit entirely comfortably with her that Wendy is now in Harry’s life – she knows she can’t be the person to put the grieving mother through more anguish.
However, will she take another big step with the family this week, when Luke offers to mind little Harry for her?
