Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) is alive! Good news for Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt). On the negative side, his dad killed people trafficker Ray Walters (Joe Absolom) and needs help covering up the murder. Never a dull moment in Emmerdale…
Anyone could have killed Ray Walters. Half the village wanted him dead and for good reason.
He and his ruthless mother Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) exploited vulnerable teenagers April Windsor (Amelia Flanagan) and her boyfriend Dylan Penders (Fred Kettle) by forcing them into drug trafficking.
When Marlon Dingle (Mark Charnock) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) tried to free their daughter from the hell she was trapped in, Ray extorted money from them in return for leaving April alone.

‘Yeah, the relief that he’s alive and the relief that he’s not been murdered by hammers at the hands of Ray!’ Dominic reveals. ‘So it’s a double relief, really. I think he was feeling ridiculously guilty that Bear might have gone missing and died a while ago and then he turns up, so I’ve got a great line where I go: ‘Dad! You’re alive!’ Which reminds me of ‘Gordon’s alive?!’ from Flash Gordon.”
But that relief is short-lived. The police are all over the village and determined to find Ray’s killer. Paddy and Bear didn’t part on the best of terms.
For a long time, Paddy thought his dad had fallen out with him, when in fact he was trapped on Butler’s Farm as a forced labourer. Dominic Brunt explains how Paddy is being driven by his greatest fear; being separated from his father again.
‘Yeah, that’s exactly what he’s fearful of. He fears that his dad will go away again. He thought he was dead and he’s back. And now Bear might go down for murder.
