Emmerdale spoilers: Missing Paddy in hiding as his family are left in agony

Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), who is still unaccounted for and gone from the village in Emmerdale, is drawing more attention.

After Chas’ (Lucy Pargeter) affair was made public, the adored character experienced mental health issues.

Initially, Paddy responded angrily and informed Chas their relationship couldn’t last.

The situation with Paddy began to alter, though, when Chas apologized really to her Dingle family members and they started to forgive her.

Due to his loneliness, Paddy has strained his relationships with pals like Marlon (Mark Charnock) and Vinny (Bradley Johnson), who became upset when Paddy brought up himself in a chat with Liv (Isobel Steele).

Paddy has vanished now after spending the night with Mandy (Lisa Riley), which resulted in the former couple sharing a bed.

The CCTV footage of Paddy is broadcast as the villagers assemble.

After seeing Paddy on the camera, PC Swirling discloses the strategy is to scale back their search, which causes Bear (Joshua Richards) to become upset and leave, leading others to question whether Paddy genuinely wants to return home.

The following day, after discovering Paddy’s hiding place at a hotel, Mandy and Chas team up to look for him, but they are unaware that Paddy has seen them from a distance and is not yet prepared to be found.

Will Paddy’s friends and family ever be able to bring him home despite their best efforts to do so considering that he has no desire to return to the village at all?

The dramatic sequences are a part of a plot that centers on Paddy’s severe despair and his eventual consideration of suicide.

Producer Laura Shaw of Emmerdale said, “We knew as soon as we started talking about this narrative that it was important for us to get it right and that we needed to open up the topic around male depression and suicide.”

Paddy is typically quite upbeat and always laughing, but it’s clear that recent events have truly taken their toll on him.

Paddy begins to feel increasingly alone, alienated, and overwhelmed by his sentiments while being well-liked and surrounded by a large number of friends and family members, which causes him to have some pretty dark ideas.

Every step of the way through this story, “We’ve worked really closely with Samaritans and Andy’s Man Club and their tremendous support and insight has helped us to transform Paddy’s journey into a truthful portrayal of what hundreds of men regrettably go through every year.”
