Emmerdale<\/a> has revealed that for the first time in its 50 years on air, it will be showcasing an all-male episode to tie in with Paddy Kirk\u2019s (Dominic Brunt) mental health storyline.<\/p>\n

Last week, the ITV soap confirmed that Paddy\u2019s ongoing struggle to come to terms with his marriage heartbreak would lead him to consider taking his own life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In recent scenes, Paddy left the village<\/a>\u00a0but will return in March to say some veiled goodbyes to his loved ones. Although Marlon (Mark Charnock) will be able to bring Paddy home safely, he knows that his best friend\u2019s mental health continues to be fragile \u2013 and he wants to do anything he can to help.<\/p>\n

So, Marlon sets up a late-night lock-in at The Woolpack, and men opening up and talking to each other is the only thing on the agenda.<\/p>\n
