Emmerdale fans think they have figured out the heartbreaking reason for Paddy Kirk's return to the village.
Paddy was left devastated after finding out his wife Chas Dingle had had an affair with Al Chapman. Matters were made worse when he realised she had planned on leaving him for a new life with her lover had he not been fatally shot by her nephew Kyle Winchester.
For weeks, viewers had to watch as Paddy struggled with his mental health, often lashing out at his ex partner and those around him. At one point he decides to leave the village without telling anyone where he was going.
