Emmerdale's hour-long episode on Thursday left fans emotional as Paddy Kirk attended a group therapy session in special scenes that were filmed where regular real-life meetings are held every Monday.
The ITV soap has been working with the mental health charity Andy’s Man Club as Paddy ( Dominic Brunt ) struggles with depression after deciding against taking his own life in powerful scenes earlier this year.
Filming for these scenes took place at Bradford City Football Club Ground in the room where regular Andy’s Man Club meetings are held and within the episode, four men with lived experience of being members of Andy’s Man Club, were featured, playing the roles of fictional attendees of the group.
