In Emmerdale this week, the most shocking character is definitely Bear Wolf.

A person that the audience always sees as a “gentle giant”, suddenly becomes the center of a dark incident that makes everyone shudder.

The story begins from the moment Bear suddenly remembers mysterious details related to the death of Anya — a girl that Bear considered his own flesh and blood.

Memories of the rainy night return: screams, the car braking suddenly, the figure running away.

Bear wakes up, his heart pounding, and for the first time he is no longer afraid and begins to decide to stand up and take justice for himself.

Ray Walters, the subject that the audience once hated bitterly, is the first person to “take the bullet”. In a leaked video from the scene, Bear drags Ray to the wasteland where traces of the incident were found. He threw the pickaxe to the ground, the sound of metal hitting stone chilling. Ray trembled: “Bear… what do you want?” Bear looked straight at him, a look the audience had never seen before: full of anger and clarity. “I want you to tell me the truth.”

That argument made social media explode, because it was completely different from Bear’s previous image — passive, gentle, and always enduring. This week, Bear fought back, and that fight was even more terrifying than Ray or Celia could have anticipated.
