Emmerdale's Modern Slavery storyline continues after Bear's heartbreaking episode
It was a tough watch tonightEmmerdale is only beginning what is set to be an absolutely harrowing storyline as Bear is mixed up in Ray and Celia’s big plans.
Just the other day Emmerdale announced it will be tackling a Modern Slavery storyline with Bear. And tonight’s episode (November 10) gave fans a real insight to how it all unfolded.
Heartbreakingly, things don’t look like they will be resolved anytime soon. And fans found the whole 30minute episode a really difficult watch.
What was revealed in the special episode?
Heartbreakingly, all of tonight’s episode was dedicated to showing the viewers exactly what had happened to Bear. And how he found himself entangled in a horrible situation.
It all began when Ray found Bear sleeping in his car and offered him somewhere to crash. But it wasn’t long before it was obvious that something was seriously wrong.
Over the course of the first few days, Ray managed to get Bear’s phone – he is known as ‘Ted’ now – and made sure nobody was looking for him. And on some days, the pair would even share meals.
Things began changing on Day 15, as Ray found Bear trying to leave. And made it clear he couldn’t do so.
By Day 45, there were more and more people slowly joining Bear and Ray made it clear to him that he needed to get involved more as he was fading.
However, it was Day 74 when Anya joined them. And it seemed a friendship between her and Bear began. While slowly over the next lot of days, Ray turns more violent, Anya realised she needed to get out. But Bear was too injured to go with her.
Ray furiously blamed Bear for Anya’s disappearance and promised him that he had lost all of his special treatment. And that brought us up to Day 100 – when a shot Anya was carried back in.
The episode sinisterly ended with Celia waving to Moira – who was with Paddy – as Bear was upstairs tending to Anya. With nobody aware of how near they actually are.
Emmerdale fans heartbroken
Following the tough scenes, Emmerdale fans took to social media to praise the soap for tackling this storyline with Bear.
One fan wrote: “I think the best way to describe today’s episode of Emmerdale is beautifully tragic. The beauty is within how it was done. The tragic is pretty obvious.”
Another added: “Today’s Bear special episode was so tough to watch. The poor man. He is so vulnerable. Emmerdale really are doing a great job with these storylines.”
A third wrote: “WOW. Bear’s standalone episode. Joshua Richards take a bow. This storyline is going to be so heartbreaking to watch.”
“I need Ray and Celia caught out soon. Bear’s episode was so harrowing” another penned.
Spoilers show Eve may see Bear
Heartbreakingly, things look set to get even worse. However, now that Paddy is aware Bear isn’t in Ireland, he is determined to locate him.
Emmerdale spoilers show that Paddy doesn’t get the response he wants at the police station about Bear. But while Eve is playing a game in the woods, she is convinced she has seen her grandad.
While everyone just thinks she got confused, has she actually seen Bear? And could this help someone find out where he is?
The storyline may just be beginning but with Ray and Celia’s plans now even more dangerous than just manipulating April and Dylan, could they be the most sinister villains Emmerdale has ever seen?
And how exactly will they be stopped?
