Emmerdale spoilers reveal that Jacob Gallagher is beginning his medical placement and faces a horrible experience at A&E on the first day. However, the experience isn’t only professional – it has some personal ties in it, too. Can Jacob overcome this? Or will this be the end of his career? Let’s see.
A Horrifying First-Day Experience
This January, Jacob Gallagher will visit the hospital for the first time. But as soon as he heads to the busy Accident and Emergency Department of the hospital he is stunned.
Jacob almost turns pale after seeing serious injuries, accidents, and life-threatening conditions first-hand for the first time. Does this mean that he has made a wrong career choice for himself?
An Hour-long Special Episode
As you already know, Emmerdale is now usually aired for half an hour. But with Jacob starting his hospital placement, the bosses have decided to come up with an hour-long episode.
The entire episode will be set in the hospital where the whole day of Jacob’s life will be in highlight. The goal behind this one-hour long episode is to show the audience the stress hospital staff goes through, especially in the A&E department.
Sophie Comments on Jacob’s Storyline
Emmerdale producer Sophie Roper has said of the storyline: “When Jacob first embarked on his aspirations of having a medical degree, we knew at some point we wanted to show a day in his life.
In this episode, we step away from our usual environs of the village and head to the hospital. This episode takes place entirely on our purpose-built hospital set. Accident and Emergency is a place many of our characters end up in, but seldom by choice.
As the episode unfolds, Jacob will encounter some challenging situations that also affect some of our Emmerdale villagers, pushing Jacob to his limits both professionally and personally.”
Jacob Talks About His Storyline
To this, Plant added: “When I met with our producer Sophie, she told me about this hour-long episode dedicated to Jacob’s first day of placement in A&E. I was hit with all these emotions. Knowing how many people have this high-pressure job for real gave me the pressure to really knuckle down and get it right. Tackling this storyline scared me at first, but I feel honored to know they trusted me enough to tell it. That means such a lot, and I feel very honored.”
The producer and the actor have shed so much light on the storyline that I will eagerly await the upcoming Emmerdale spoilers. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily to be the first to know about the spoilers.
