Emmerdale viewers will once again see Paddy Kirk leave the village next month following his struggles with depression. However, this time it will be to seek help.
Two months ago fans of the ITV soap were devastated to see the much-loved vet, played by Dominic Brunt, contemplating taking his own life. After being found by his estranged wife Chas and his best pal Marlon, Paddy returned to the village and is still on the slow steps of recovery.
As he continues to struggle with his mental health, soon Emmerdale viewers will see him seek help away from the village. In a bid to help his friend, Marlon, played by Mark Charnock, planned a lock-in in The Woolpack with some of their fellow male villagers where Liam Cavanagh opened up about his own suicide attempt as a doctor.
