Pressure on Jacob Mounts in Emmerdale’s Dr Todd Bullying Plot

The storyline pushes workplace conflict into village life, raising stakes for Jacob’s career.

Overview

  • Jacob’s call to perform CPR on a patient with a do-not-resuscitate order angers mentor Dr Caitlin Todd and threatens his future at the hospital.
  • Shaken after the ward incident, he accidentally hits Cain Dingle with his car, which forces a delay to Cain’s planned cancer surgery.
  • Cain tells Kerry Pollard he will hold Jacob responsible if his condition worsens, turning a work crisis into a personal feud.
  • Kerry confronts Dr Todd over her treatment of Jacob and mentions his past grooming by Maya Stepney, which Todd later probes through colleague Manpreet Sharma.
  • Press previews suggest Dr Todd steps up efforts to sway colleagues’ views of Jacob and to keep him working under her despite his attempts to switch placements.
