Emmerdale's Dominic Brunt had to shake off his role to ensure he wasn't affected by the depression storyline.
The actor, who plays Paddy Kirk, hit rock bottom over the last few weeks on the show with his mental well-being taking a serious knock. In an upcoming plotline, viewers will see Paddy attempt to take his own life.
He disappeared from the village but will make his return to give a subtle goodbye to his friends and family before leaving a suicide note. Dominic knew of the storyline months in advance from producers but revealed the impact of the script is still taking its toll.
