The Emmerdale storyline following Paddy Kirk's depression may never have happened, according to the ITV soap's producer. During scenes aired on Tuesday night (February 28), viewers saw the vet finally return home after fleeing a few weeks ago following a reunion with ex-wife Mandy Dingle.
The Dingle clan attempted to find Paddy, rocking up at the B&B they located him at in Skipdale. However, after getting the help of another guest, Paddy managed to avoid seeing them and was last seen getting on a bus.
But during the latest trip to the Dales, Emmerdale fans saw a dishevelled Paddy standing in the doorway of The Woolpack with a holdall, much to the surprise of his loved ones. It didn't take Marlon long to make a beeline for him but estranged wife Chas was left irritated by Paddy's behaviour.
