If there’s one thing you don’t do on Emmerdale, it’s break Paddy Dingle’s (Dominic Brunt) heart – that’s why his wife Chas (Lucy Pargeter) is desperately trying to keep her affair under wraps.
She’s been sleeping around with Al Chapman (Michael Wildman) in recent weeks, angering fans and characters in the know along the way.
Chas’s son Aaron (Danny Miller) recently happened upon his mum’s affair – and it’s safe to say he wasn’t impressed, offering her an ultimatum to leave Al or lose her son forever.
With her secret dangerously close to being revealed, would Aaron actually tell Paddy the truth? Actress Lucy isn’t sure…
Speaking to press including RadioTimes.com. Pargeter admitted: “It’s a hard one. Paddy is his dad, not his real dad but has fulfilled that role since Aaron came into the show. To see his mum’s moral compass go slightly askew with the love Aaron has for Paddy…
“We shall see whether he decides to keep his mouth shout and if he can’t or if he can, what he decides to actually do about it.”
In next week’s episodes, it seems like Paddy becomes ever closer to discovering his wife’s terrible secret.
Chas, fearful her news will emerge, emotionally blackmails Aaron into making plans to leave, while she makes plans to run off with Al.
But smart Paddy starts to wonder why Aaron’s really leaving and comes to the conclusion that things aren’t adding up.
Will he uncover Chas’s secret?
