Paddy says his goodbyes to his loved ones this week as Emmerdale fans work out legendary character is set to return.
Paddy's family found out his heartbreaking suicide plan in scenes that aired yesterday evening, just days after he had gone missing from the village, leaving his family concerned. He suddenly returned this week, though hiding a secret, while he claimed to his close friends that he just needed to clear his head and was actually much better.
On Thursday night during a chat to his sleeping daughter Eve Paddy revealed he had actually fled the village with a plan to take his own life, but he decided he couldn't go through with it, reports Mirror.
Paddy revealed that he needed to say goodbye to Eve and his loved ones before taking his life - but that he also needed to see how they would cope with him being gone. Fans were left in tears, but they have now predicted that Dales icon Aaron Dingle - played by Danny Miller - will return to 'save' Paddy amid his heartbreaking decision.
One fan wrote: "Please come back to the village! It's breaking my heart seeing Paddy going through this alone. Paddy helped Aaron - know it's time Aaron helps Paddy #Emmerdale. "
Whilst another added: "I keep saying this but if Aaron doesn't have some kind of involvement/mention in Paddy's storyline then the writers have missed a very important (and obvious) mark. # emmerdale ."
A third shared: "Paddy!! Think of Aaron. You think he is happy in a foreign land. But really we would rather be with his family #Emmerdale," with a fourth adding: "I wish Aaron would have been there for his dad… Roles reversed."

Actor Dominic Brunt has insisted the storyline won't be all misery. He said: "But there's also a lot of light as well. I think what Emmerdale do, brilliantly time and time again is, it's not a misery fest. It's not this dark storyline that's awful to watch. It's really well coloured in with the pace and even two blocks later, there's little pinches of light - he’s found his humour again but, at the same time, he has to watch himself.
"It normalises the talking so he has a little slump and he turns to someone and says, ‘Are we alright to grab a cup of tea? I just want to talk to you about something just something that's bothering me.'"
