The following article contains spoilers from an episode of Emmerdale that hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet, but can be viewed on ITVX.
Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) has started a new job in Emmerdale – but currently remains unaware of how close he is to a game-changing secret.
Paddy has been struggling with low confidence ever since he was attacked by a dog on Celia’s (Jaye Griffiths) farm. In the hospital, Paddy was left devastated when dad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) berated him.
He commented on Paddy’s mental health, called him a ‘doormat’, and reckoned people tip toe around him because they’re worried he might feel suicidal again.
In the aftermath, the comments massively knocked Paddy and on top of this, he was also dealing with a fear of large dogs, which seriously impacted his work at the vets.
Paddy has made progress and recently spent time with Chip the dog. When it comes to his confidence levels though, he’s continuing to try and build them up again by helping others through a mental health charity.
Paddy was being a bit coy with Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) in tonight’s episode and didn’t want to tell him what he was really planning on doing with his afternoon off.
Meanwhile, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) had spent the day consumed with guilt after letting Owen Michaels (Simon Haines) die. The troubled character was found unconscious by John towards the end of last week, but died when John failed to call an ambulance for him.
Instead, John wrote a note on Owen’s laptop that confirmed he killed Nate Robinson. John believed that this would help Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) with closure and moving forward – but it just made things worse.
Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) pointed out to John that Cain and Tracy will never get what they want when it comes to justice for Nate, because Owen is no longer here. The local GP made is abundantly clear that Owen’s suicide has not helped Nate’s family at all.

Riddled with negative emotion, John sat down at his laptop and opened the website for Guardians, a mental health charity. He chose to speak via their messaging service this time, and alluded to the advisor that he’s done something very bad.
The volunteer wondered if John would like to speak via a phone call instead, but it was at this point the chat ended.
We then saw another laptop closing, with Paddy sat in front of it.
Paddy is incredibly close to the truth about John – but neither of them know who they are talking to.
Will John everything, believing he is telling a complete stranger?
