Emmerdale fans all have the same complaint after police announcement
EMMERDALE fans have pointed out a major blunder after Paddy Kirk's disappearing act.
The village vet - played by Dominic Brunt - made the heartbreaking decision to leave the Dales.
He fled after having a one night stand with former flame Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley).
Paddy has been suffering with his mental health ever since he found out his wife Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) had been cheating on him with Al Chapman (Michael Wildman).
PC Swirling revealed there had been a sighting of Paddy and the family watched the CCTV.
But viewers were left baffled to why the family themselves aren't out and about looking for him.

Taking to Twitter, one said: "Why don't they go out and look for him! They've got cars."
Another wrote: "What I don't get is, why none of his family are out searching for him?"
A third penned: "Has anyone checked if Paddy’s passport is missing??"
The ITV soap has revealed Paddy's storyline will take a harrowing turn when he considers taking his own life.

He will endure constant reminders of Chas' infidelity and their shared grief over the death of their daughter Grace.
Paddy actor Dominic Brunt said portraying the storyline was a "huge honour and great responsibility."
He said: "It’s an inherent problem in today’s society that most men don’t talk enough about their problems.
"We bottle them up, we don’t want to bother anyone, we become embarrassed, we feel we should be strong and not show weakness.
"If this story can shine a light on the issue or make even a small change to someone’s outlook or viewpoint, then it will have been worth it.
"It’s also a privilege to be working alongside The Samaritans and Andy’s Man Club in highlighting this issue."
The heartbreaking storyline will air in March.
Viewers will see Paddy return to the village to say his goodbyes to his friends and family, before leaving again as he considers taking his own life.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV.
You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others... You're Not Alone.
