It’s clear Bear Wolf is suffering with some unknown condition in Emmerdale, and tonight he lost his temper at Paddy Kirk.

Over the last few weeks, Bear hasn’t been himself, and everyone has been a bit worried about him. However, he has played it down and refuses to accept that anything is actually wrong.

So, tonight (June 27), Paddy decided to test him for dementia after getting advice from Gabby. But things didn’t exactly go to plan. And it looks like they’re set to get even worse.

Bear lashed out at Paddy

While Mandy told Paddy that Bear wouldn’t be happy, Marlon agreed to help him test his dad.

The pair met up with Bear in the pub and slowly tried to ask him some questions from the dementia test. However, they made it quite obvious that something else was going on.

When Bear snatched the phone, he realised what they were doing and stormed off. But when he left the pub, he was clearly in a lot of pain, clutching his head. Robert spotted him, but Bear pretended he was fine.

By the time Paddy found him outside, Bear lost it at him and pushed him up against the wall. When Paddy told him he was hurting him, Bear warned that he hadn’t even started.

But later, when they were home, Bear acted like nothing really happened and Paddy was blowing it out of proportion. And when alone, Paddy admitted to Mandy he doesn’t know how much longer he can take it.
