Emmerdale fans have slammed the "get a grip" mentality amongst viewers following Paddy Kirk's heartbreaking storyline.
Paddy is currently struggling with his mental health following the breakdown of his marriage to Chas Dingle. He spiraled into depression after finding out she had been cheating on him with Al Chapman, who was later fatally shot.
During her affair, Paddy chalked her often insensitive and rude behaviour up to her dealing with her mum's terminal cancer diagnosis. However, Chas was battling her own guilt and pushing him away at the same time as she prepared to run off with her lover.
