Emmerdale's Paddy Kirk is urged to confide in his partner Chas Dingle tonight (April 17) as he continues to suffer in silence.

Paddy (Dominic Brunt) hasn't been his usual self since accidentally leaving his baby daughter Eve unattended in an unfortunate incident a few weeks ago.

In Friday's episode, Paddy's father Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) intervenes by encouraging him to be more honest with Chas.

Bear has spotted various tell-tale signs that Paddy is full of anxiety over Eve, fearing that she could come to harm.
