Wendy (played by Susan Cookson) is the mother of Victoria’s (Isobel Hodgins) rapist Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie) and therefore, has struggled to ground a relationship with her grandchild’s mother as she believes the Emmerdale chef is lying about her ordeal. After her decision to live in the village caused a stir with several characters, the conclusion of tonight’s edition of the ITV soap saw an unknown assailant throw a brick through her window. However, could Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) be behind the threat?
As a surrogate mother to Victoria, the soap stalwart has a maternal instinct to protect her loved one at any cost.
With the expectant mother’s brother Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) serving time behind bars for killing his sister’s rapist, Diane has stepped in to become a pillar of support for the pregnant character.
Tonight’s episode saw both women floored when Wendy announced she would be sticking around, even getting herself a job at the GP practice, leading the Woolpack chef to consider leaving the village once more.
However, towards the end of the hour-long episode, it seemed her mother figure had a plan up her sleeve to get revenge on the newcomer and drive her out.
