Bob Hope has branded his own daughter, Cathy Hope, a liar over the death of his son Heath in Emmerdale.
Earlier this week, Heath was tragically killed while joyriding with girlfriend Angelica King and sister Cathy Hope on New Year's Eve.
In the wake of the crash, there has been conflicting information over who was behind the wheel, as both Angel and Cathy have accused the other of driving when Heath was killed.
In Wednesday's episode (January 3), Cathy and Angel's parents spent much of the episode arguing over which of the girls was lying. A crucial piece of the puzzle came when April gave her police statement, revealing that Cathy was driving as she watched the teens leave the village.
However, viewers haven't actually seen the accident, so there's still a question over whether Angel and Cathy may have switched places at some point.

While Cathy's father Bob initially blamed her for Heath's death, he came around in the latest episode as she described what she told police.
"I told them the truth, that Angelica wanted to drive and I shouldn't have let her," Cathy insisted. "We shouldn't have done any of it, but I swear, I'm telling the truth."
Bob assured his daughter he believed her and promised he'd find a way to "sort" everything. However, Cathy's past actions weighed on him throughout the episode.
Bob and Brenda went to Victoria Cottage to speak with Angel, only to be turned away by Nicola and Jimmy. Bob was stunned when Nicola revealed a "witness" — April — backed up Angel's version of events.
"I'd say it's Cathy you need to go and talk to," Nicola told the grieving parents.
Nicola brought up Cathy's history of bullying April and how she'd attacked Bob as she struggled with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.
"She's right," Bob said of Nicola's argument. "We do know what [Cathy's] like, how easily she lies. She's doing it again."
Will Cathy be able to prove her father wrong?
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
