Emmerdale Reveals Horrifying Truth About What Happened To Bear Wolf - And He Never Left The Village

In today's episode viewers learned that Bear was locked in a grotty room in Celia's farmhouse ⁘ and Monday's episode will be a special dedicated to how he got there. In collaboration with The Salvation Army , Emmerdale has worked with the charity from the outset, ensuring the programme's producers, writers and researchers have been authentically informed to aid this heartbreaking portrayal of an elderly white man who quickly finds himself trapped.

Kathy Betteridge, Director of Anti Trafficking and Modern Slavery for The Salvation Army said: “Forced labour is one of the most hidden, but widespread forms of modern slavery in the UK today. “We're thankful to Emmerdale for using this storyline to expose the brutal truth ⁘ people are being exploited in plain sight, from farms and factories to cafés, car washes, homes and hotels . “Storylines like this, delivered with attention to detail and authenticity, help the public recognise what modern slavery really looks like and how vital it is to act when something doesn't feel right.” When Paddy Dingle realises his dad, Bear, never made it to Ireland , he becomes increasingly worried.

Having not heard from his father for months after a period of tension, Paddy is desperate to track him down and reconcile but he has no idea Bear never escaped the village. Other related sources and context: See here
