Emmerdale's Wendy Posner could be confronted by more evidence of Lee's guilt tonight (February 7).

Wendy has already started to doubt her late son after moving to the village and seeing Victoria Barton (Isabel Hodgins) around her family and friends.

When Wendy first appeared in the show last year, she was adamant that Victoria had lied when she reported Lee for rape. Since Lee's death, viewers have seen signs that Wendy is slowly starting to reconsider the situation.

In tonight's episode, Victoria continues to grow closer to Wendy's other son Luke (Max Parker).

What to Read Next

Victoria even agrees to let Luke babysit Harry for a while, grateful for his help when he steps in while she's busy.

Luke promises Victoria that Wendy won't be around to interfere as she'll be busy at work, but it turns out that he's mistaken and Wendy is on a half day.

While Luke is out buying formula to give Harry a feed, Wendy is left home alone with Victoria's belongings and stumbles across her therapy journal.

The notebook contains Victoria's private thoughts about the ordeal she went through with Lee, but will Wendy be tempted to betray her by reading it?

Susan Cookson, who plays Wendy, previously said: "As time has gone on, Wendy has been in the village and seen Victoria first-hand in her home environment, surrounded by the people who love her.

"It's starting to sow a seed of doubt that something must have happened. It really is a terrible dilemma to have to think about your child in that light and how you would feel about that."

Emmerdale airs tonight at 7pm on ITV.
