Shock ITV Emmerdale kiss rocks the village leaving Paddy Kirk stunned
PADDY Kirk is in for a huge surprise next week and a new love triangle is set to take shape in the Dales.
The Emmerdale vet kisses a former flame again which leads to a massive confession.
Dominic Brunt's on-screen alter ego has been at the core of a mental health storyline shining a light on male depression for several weeks.
His struggle has sent shockwaves throughout the eponymous village but when he realises the impact of his absence, Paddy offers to spend some time with his daughter Eve and Chas (Lucy Pargeter).
Coming up on ITV, the former couple agree to reunite as a family, leading Paddy to read to Eve as Chas listens in, happy to see them back together.
Paddy later offers Chas a hug, proof that there are no more hard feelings between them but she melts once she's in his arms and they kiss.
