[2] Having been diagnosed with a brain tumour, Brenda realises that the important things in life are "family, friendship, love, honesty and humour".

When they begin a relationship, Brenda becomes concerned that Terry's young son T.J. Woods (Connor Lee) does not like her, as he frequently interrupts them.

Brenda tries bribing him but stopped when Terry opens his lunch box one day and found it packed with sweets.

Known as Emmerdale Explorers and funded by Natasha Wylde (Amanda Donohoe), they come up with various games and crafts.

After Terry dies in a fire, Brenda starts a relationship with Bob and is given a granddaughter after Gennie gives birth to her and her fiancé Nikhil Sharma's (Rik Makarem) baby, Molly.

Brenda is diagnosed with a brain tumour after losing concentration at the wheel of a car and almost running over rival Val.

Brenda goes to hospital to have her brain tumour removed, with Gennie, Bob, Nikhil and Dan waiting anxiously.

They reveal that Gennie was in a car accident at the time, but really Chas' serial killer fiancé Cameron Murray (Dominic Power) suffocated Gennie after her crash as she overheard him admitting to killing Carl King (Tom Lister) the previous year.

It’s inevitable saving money means losing people – but it’s a huge shame all the same for those involved, their friends and colleagues.
