Chas Dingle makes a shocking confession to ex Paddy Kirk in Emmerdale
PADDY Kirk has been struggling with his mental health after finding out his wife Chas Dingle was having an affair.
But the Emmerdale pub manager has another bombshell to drop next week, months after their explosive split.
The beloved vet portrayed by Dominic Brunt is at the core of a mental health storyline shining a light on male depression.
His struggle has had a considerable impact on his life but when he realises the impact of his absence in scenes airing on ITV next week, Paddy offers to spend some time with his daughter Eve and Chas (Lucy Pargeter).
The adults agree to reunite as a family, leading Paddy to read to Eve as Chas listens in, happy to see them back together.
Paddy later offers Chas a hug, proof that there are no more hard feelings between them but she melts once she’s in his arms and they kiss.
The moment is interrupted by Eve who calls down and they pull away instantly from one another.
Later on, Chas joins her cousin Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) to celebrate her upcoming wedding with a bottle of champagne in Mandy Dingle’s (Lisa Riley) beauty salon.
The beautician struggles to hide her own feelings when Charity tells her Chas and Paddy kissed.
Things take another nasty turn on the Main Street when Paddy overhears his father Bear Wolf confronting Chas about the other night and he’s furious.
She processes Paddy’s reaction, hoping he still has feelings for her after all.
Mandy is finding it hard to hide how devastated she feels and when she rushes out for coffee, she bumps into Paddy who explains he’s in turmoil over whether he should go back to Chas or not.
