While the fandom is preoccupied with Charity and Mack, Emmerdale throws in an unexpected twist: Bear Wolf, Paddy Kirk’s biological father, is planning his escape – but things aren’t as simple as he thinks.

According to spoilers from Metro UK, Bear will try to leave Emmerdale just as Corriedale breaks out, making his escape one of the most dramatic storylines of the event.

Bear is a controversial figure – a former wrestler with a dark past, who is trying to atone for his mistakes with his son.

In recent episodes, Bear has started talking about “freedom,” about “leaving to save himself.”

Fans believe he’s escaping from someone – possibly an old enemy, or perhaps a ghost from the past.

In Corriedale, the trailer shows an elderly man driving through a foggy road just before the series of accidents. Many viewers claim this is Bear. If so, he could be the instigator of the fateful collision – or the first victim.

Bear’s appearance in Corriedale adds another layer of meaning to the storyline: Freedom is sometimes the greatest prison. And as both Corrie and Emmerdale are drawn into this vortex, Bear could be the key link – the one who initiates everything, then disappears forever.
