Emmerdale has just seen the last of one character in Bear Wolf's storyline about modern slavery.
Fans of the ITV soap know that Bear has been roped into a horrifying slavery ordeal, working for Celia Daniels and Ray Walters in appalling conditions. Meanwhile, his son Paddy Dingle thinks Bear has left the village after they had a major clash.
In recent scenes, Bear was heartbroken when Anya, who was also kept captive by Ray and Celia, died after developing an infection as she was prevented from going to the hospital.
Together with Simo and Mick, Bear devised a plan to escape, but backtracked at the last minute, showing an unexpected, concerning loyalty to Ray.
After Bear ratted Simo and Mick out to Ray, the villain took things into his own hands. In some ominous scenes, Ray confirmed that Mick would return to work for them as he'd been given a second chance, while Simo had been moved to another farm.

On Instagram, Simo star Steven Gidwaney confirmed the last episode featuring his character has aired.
"Where do I start?" he wrote in a follow-up post. "What a pleasure it's been to be involved in such a HUGE storyline. To have been trusted with something like this is amazing to me!"
"I've loved every second of being Simo!" he continued, thanking cast, crew, fans and his agent for the support.
"BIG thank you to you all for all your love and support and keep watching the nations favourite farm to see what happens with Bear, Celia & Ray!"
Meanwhile, Ray is set to further manipulate Bear, lying about how Paddy and the rest of his family have forgotten about him.
Ray cruelly lets Bear believe that no one has tried to reach out to him.
After Bear asks for his phone back as he'd like to speak to his son, Ray pretends his mobile had been fixed ages ago but that he'd lied to spare his feelings.
Emmerdale is working on Bear's storyline alongside The Salvation Army and Unseen. Further help, support and resources relating to the issue of modern slavery are available on the charities' websites.
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
