Actor Dominic Brunt is currently at the centre of one of Emmerdale's most emotional storylines of 2023 so far.
Dominic, who has been playing Paddy Kirk in the ITV soap since 1997, said it has been an honour and privilege to portray his character's mental health struggles in a bid to raise awareness. In the latest episodes which aired this week, Paddy shared his devastating plan to take his own life.
Dominic said he has felt "a huge sense of responsibility" to tell Paddy's story as best as he could. As part of the process, the actor and producers worked with various mental health charities.
